Dream Lover Screen Play 1998

 DREAM LOVER BY ED DONLIN (c) 2003

 FADE IN

 INT. MOVIE THEATER - AFTERNOON - DAY 

The screen is filled with a massive explosion, and the BOOM shakes the seats of the sparsely occupied theater. Even as the inferno unfolds on the screen, the words - THE END Scroll slowly up the screen. 

The small audience gets up and walks out. In the middle of the small crowd is DAVE BERRY (32), a young man dressed in Bermuda shorts, sandals, white socks, a plaid shirt, glasses, and a crew cut. 

DAVE 

(softly)

 I'm too common for my own good. Who goes to a movie matinee by himself on a Sunday afternoon? 

EXT. DIVIDED HIGHWAY - NEXT MORNING - DAY 

A bright and sunny morning. A Late Model Auto (LMA) moves along the divided highway at a speed just below the posted limit!
