screen is completely dark. We heard the sound of an old tape recorder. Amidst the clear and audible humming, boos, and vigorous restlessness mixed with young people's noise. We heard chuckles, and then someone announced that Charlie was vowing to Peggy Hugh.
Charlie (outside the picture): Hi, this is Charlie and...Say, say your name.
Peggy (outside the picture): Peggy Hugh.
Charlie (outside the painting): We are on this couch...
Peggy (outside the painting): Don't talk about this...

Charlie (outside the picture): We are on this sofa bed...
Peggy (outside the picture): Charlie...
Charlie (outside the picture): ... Record how much we love each other. Sitting next to me is the smartest and most beautiful female military conductor in human history. She wants to say a few words.
A female employee of a real estate company walked to the center of the lawn with a "sale" sign, and put the sign on the ground with a hammer.
Charlie (outside the picture): Come on, Peggy, talk about what we rehearsed.
Peggy (outside the picture): I can't tell, it's too embarrassing.
2. Interior
scene , Bodil’s camera shifts to the empty house, we hear the sound of the tape recorder and the loudspeaker.
Charlie (outside the picture): But you love me, right?
Peggy (outside the picture): Yes. Forget it, Charlie, turn it off.
Charlie (outside the painting): And never change his heart.
Charlie began to giggle, and we heard clumsy pings and funny sounds.
Close up of the kitchen. We first saw a woman's hand on the ground with some flour on it.
The camera opened, showing Peggy Bodier, who was in her early 40s. She fainted from grief while baking the cake. The flour was sprinkled on the ground. She came to life. She was in a daze, and after she was calm, she brushed off the flour from her clothes.
3. Interior view, in the car room. During the day,
Peggy's son Scott (16 years old) is playing with an old tape recorder. There are stacks of boxes filled with personal items and records in the car compartment. His sister Beth (23 years old) is sorting things out.
Scott: Oh my God, the changes are big enough, who can understand?
Beth: I don't know, just put it back in place.
Charlie (outside the painting): Oh, it's time to go, there is a piece of pastime music here.
A record broadcasts "You Belong to Me" sung by Duplex.
4. Interior view, Charlie's apartment,
Charlie Bodil (in his early 40s, singing the same song. He can't sing the high pitch, so he turned off the tap and walked out of the shower room. His young, lively, plump girlfriend, Janet, was in the bedroom in.
Charlie: arguably gas, I was no longer sing the treble that.
Janet: you know, Charlie, if you are very serious, I know a prestigious private vocal teacher
Charlie's difficult cheeky Color.

truck "Charlie the Fool's Price Reduction Appliance" stopped at the door during the day . The workers were loading boxes of records, tapes, etc. Charlie drove into the screen and stopped and waved to the workers.
6 .Interior view, kitchen/menjin
Peggy puts the peculiar cakes into several boxes. We heard the
grandfather clock hit nine. The camera was facing the hall. Beth was greeted with his father at the door.
Beth: Ho, dad, I can earn you 100 yuan when I work during the break, right?
Charlie: You said 70, right? What do you want 50 yuan for? How is your mother?
Peggy walked out of the kitchen. Charlie stopped sharply at the door.
A worker walked over from behind Peggy.
Worker: It's almost done.
Charlie: Frank, look at the clock.
Peggy looked out.

8. Interior view, house
Peggy: There is a moving thing in front of my house.
Charlie: Don't say that, Peggy. What do you mean by your house? This is my house. I paid for it. I'm still paying for it.
Peggy: I'm still waiting for that mortgage check.
Charlie: I already sent it to you on Wednesday.
Peggy: Okay, today is Saturday, it hasn't arrived yet.
Charlie: Oh my God, Peggy, calm down. I'm not used to doing this kind of things, you always manage the money. Blame the hateful post office.
A worker walked over with an old single-sided phonograph in black and white. It was really a product from the 1950s. When they looked at each other, the resentment between the two disappeared for a while.
Peggy: Keep that one.
The worker looked to Charlie for a promise, and Charlie nodded. The worker shrugged and returned to the basement.
Anri: Do you have Taber?
Peggy: I never bought it again. Only you drink that kind of wine.
9. Interior view,
Peggy walks in front of the sound room . She turned a switch at the end of the room and lit some wall lights carved on lava.
Charlie: You don't want them? They will be fashionable again at any time. Remember my words, these lights will...
Peggy: I know. Let Scott finish college.
Charlie: I will sell them. (Pause) There will be one day.
Peggy opened a box full of records. She closed the box and walked to the other one. Charlie checked the contents of the box at the other end of the room.
Peggy: Will you take Janet to the party tonight?
Charlie: I'm not going to go.
Scott shouted from the top of the stairs.
Scott: Dad, come on!
Charlie: Go now. I will finish moving the rest next weekend.
Scott: Goodbye, mom.
Peggy: Goodbye, baby.
When Scott turned and walked away, Peggy and Charlie looked at each other.
Charlie (really regretted): I never thought I would go so far.
Charlie walked out of the screen. Peggy looked around. She closed a box hard, but the lid rebounded again.
10. Exterior scene, Peggy’s driveway
Peggy and Beth put a few cake boxes into the car. A neighbour who was trimming the hedge looked at them in disbelief. Peggy and Beth drove away.

Peggy , the "Lowen Oven" bakery, stops in front of her bakery, "Lowen Oven". Bags of bread and rolls leaned against the door. Beth jumped out of the car to open the shop. Peggy stacked the box on Beth's arm and opened the door for her.
Peggy: If the pastry hasn't arrived at 9:30, you call Monica and bluff her.
Peggy got into the car and gave Beth a kiss.
Peggy: I will be back at noon.
Just as Peggy drove away, Monica's car arrived. She got out of the car and began to unload the cake box.
Beth: Hi, Monica, you happened to miss my mother.
Monica: Sorry, I'm late. My Bob came back to the city.
13. Location,
insert the lens of Christine's hairdressing shop: the signboard of Christine's hairdressing shop.
Peggy came out of the shop and got a haircut from the fifties. From a distance, she looked like a teenager in the 1950s. She looked in the mirror nervously. Maybe this thing was done wrong. It's too late now.
14. The interior, in a moving car Peggy
Peggy driving. She listened to a local "telephone live show" from the car radio.
Woman's voice (outside the picture): Hi, this is Dolores Dodge. We called the surrogate mothers today. Rent the uterus. I want to know how you feel.
Peggy: Oh, Dolores.
Peggy dialed the station and found the news broadcast.
15. Exterior scene. On the corner of the street,
Peggy stopped at a red light. From the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of a Mercedes car parked next to her car. It was Carol Hess, an attractive woman of her age who drove. They looked at each other curiously, and then—
Peggy: Carol!
Carol: Peggy Hugh!
The two of them parked the car by the side of the road.
16. Outside,
they got out of the car by the side of the road and embraced warmly.
Carol: I haven't seen you in years. Have you never tried another hairstyle in all these years?
Peggy tried to hide her embarrassment with a laugh.
Peggy: I just made it for the party. I think this might be interesting.
Carol: You may be the only one who can be a decent person.
17.Interior view, "Luowen Baking" shop,
Peggy and Carol walk in during the day , Beth is finishing greeting a customer. When Peggy walked into the rejection, the customer left.
Beth: Where have you been? You said you could be back at 12 o'clock.
Peggy: This is my old friend Carol. I told you about her.
Beth has Carol greet each other.
Beth: I am still worried about you. You don't even make a phone call. If I don't call, you will always be worried.
Peggy: Do you like my hairstyle?
Beth: It looks great. Don't change the subject, you know how busy Saturday is, I don't know how to make icing. I often mess up roses. You are really unreliable.
Peggy took over decorating the big peanut-shaped cake and removed the silver-white frosting: "25th Anniversary Party-Buchanan Middle School".
Carol: Who is the mother here?
Beth: Sometimes I'm not sure...
18. Interior,
a set of a TV studio TV studio. The case was covered with black cloth, and there were projection TV sets, general TV sets, microwave ovens and other luxurious future equipment on a circle of different height cases. Charlie sits at a piece of equipment (or a table). A Chinese waiter ran in and put down a plate of happiness cakes.
Waiter: Charlie, extra happiness cake, good luck to you.
Charlie: Thank you.
Charlie grabbed a piece of bread, placed it on the table in front of him, and smashed it open with his fist. He pulled up the note and read his luck.
Charlie (manically): Next week you will sell the Sanyo brand remote control cassette recorder for 399 yuan? Oh no! (Singing) Fool Charlie...
He grabbed another piece of happiness cake and smashed it open.
Charlie: You will sell the Mitsubishi Spleen huge screen TV for 1295 yuan. Oh, no! I will go broke! (Singing) Fool Charlie...
He grabbed another piece of happiness cake and broke it open again.
Charlie: You won't sell stereo cassettes, cassettes, microwave ovens or household mixers for cheap. (Singing) Fool Charlie, Fool Charlie, I will no longer open the happiness cake, I will smash the price (turning my eyes like Fabian (Note 1)). Fool Charlie, he is crazy.
The waiter knocked a big gong.
Beth laughed.
Peggy (outside the picture): Turn it off.
19. Interior view, Peggy's bedroom, night
The camera is pulled back from the TV to Peggy's bedroom. Beth got up from the bed to turn off the TV. Peggy entered the picture from the bathroom connected to the bedroom. She was wearing a bathrobe, stockings and saddle shoes. She picked up a small gold box hung on a necklace from the dressing table and put it on.
Beth: When did you not be so angry with Dad? How do you think I will feel?
Peggy: I have a lot of unresolved emotions towards him. I don't trust him. Besides, I hate those commercials.
Beth: Sorry, I asked about these things. We don't have time to continue to talk frankly and openly. Come on, try this dress.
Peggy put on a fifties dress on the bed.
Peggy: But I want you and Scott to understand. (Pause) Do you think he loves Janet? Maybe he broke too many happiness cakes.
Beth: Forget it, mom. Let him rest for a while. He can't go to the party for your sake. You know he wants to go.
Peggy: That way, both of us will feel bitter, what do you think?
She looked exactly like a teenager in the sixties.
Beth: Hi, you are a fashionable female student. It looks like you have just come out of "Life" magazine. Whenever you want to borrow this dress again, just open your mouth.
Peggy: Borrow? ! This was originally my dress. (Pause) Maybe it was a wrong trick, what if I was the only one to do this? I don't even want to go anymore, everyone will say... (imitating the tone of the commercial) Hi. Where is the fool Charlie?
Beth: Mom, many people are separated and divorced.
Peggy: It's not the guy who paid the least money in the city to break up.
20. Exterior scene, at the gate of the middle school. At night
, men and women in pairs stepped onto the steps and walked into the school. Peggy and Beth were under the steps, staring at the banner hanging above the gate, which read: "Welcome to Class of 1960."
Peggy: I don't think it's right. Maybe I should go home and change clothes.
Beth: Why are you so nervous? What's wrong with you today?
Peggy: I don't know either. The party will do something amusing for everyone.
At this time, they and Madi (Madeline) who came afterwards walked with Arthur Nagel. That is a pair of typical "polyester" partners. People greeted and hugged each other, and Arthur put his arms around Peggy and Beth and stepped onto the steps with them.
Maddie: You two are like soap commercials. Who is the mother and who is the girl-girl?
Arthur: You really take the party seriously. You bring a sense of nostalgia.
Peggy: This is an idea from Beth.
Maddie: I wish I had this string and this figure.
Arthur: You have always been a passionate little girl, Pegg (note 2).
Peggy: Arthur, please don't call me Pegg.
21. Interior view, the
front hall of the school . A pile of plastic name badges is placed on a large table in the front hall at night . There was a sign that read: "Ladies, if you can't find your name card, please look for it under your boudoir's name." Several people leaned over to the table to find their name card.
There is a waitress sitting behind the table. Peggy, Beth, Maddie, and Arthur walked into the lobby. There was another "Hello" greeting.
Peggy: Beth's boyfriend is playing in the band.
Maddie: It must be family heirloom.
Beth: What family biography?
Arthur: Both you and your mother seem to love musicians.
Madi and Arthur laughed loudly. Peggy was not happy. After the waitress handed them the name tag, she turned around to welcome the newcomer.
As they continued to walk along the front hall, Peggy saw a very imposing man walk into the front hall. He is Richard Nowick, and with him is the pregnant eldest son Sharon. Richard smiled at Peggy. She didn't recognize him, turned back to her group, and continued to walk along the front hall. The music of the 1950s became louder and louder.
22. Interior view, personal room
The gym is crowded with friends who dance, chat, and reunited after a long time. There is a bar at one end of the room. Enlarged black-and-white photos of the 1960 Class Annual Journal hung on several walls. There was a buffet and Peggy’s cakes on a table. The band sang old swing songs. Both men and women danced slowly, some of them swing dance, some dance walks.
Peggy, Beth, and Arthur walked through the gym. Beth pulled away and left them.
Arthur: Hi, there are Terry and Leon.
Maddie: Peggy, can you find a table? We will see you in a while.
Peggy: All right.
They walked to the large group, leaving Peggy to stand alone.
23. Interior, gym,
close-up of the wall . A picture of a female military band. Peggy stood in the middle and turned her baton.
Her contemplation was interrupted.
Richard (outside the picture): Are you Peggy Hugh Kelcher?
Peggy: I was once. Richard! ? Richard Nowick? I didn't recognize you.
Richard: You look the same.
Peggy: I'm just dressing up for tonight. I usually don't dress like this.
Sharon: This is worthy of admiration.
Richard: Oh, I'm sorry. This is Peggy Hugh Kelcher, and this is my wife Sharon.
Peggy: Hello, nice to meet you. Please call me Peggy, I am Peggy Bodil now.
Richard: Where is Charlie? I watched one of his commercials in the city about a year ago. It's really hilarious.
Peggy: He is not here. We are getting a divorce.
Richard: Yo, I'm sorry to hear that.
New shooting angle. A thick hand poked into the frame.
Man's voice (outside the picture): Mr. Nowick.
Pulled behind the camera, framed Dug Snell, a man with a big belly and a beard. He shook hands with Richard.
Doug: Ah, uh, uh, Richard? Doug Snell, Merrill Lynch. I saw the business of Cordys in Business Weekly. congratulations.
Richard: Thank you, Doug.
Doug: Hi, Peggy, how are you? How is Charlie?
24. Interior view, the gym
camera is facing Carol and Walter. They are playing the "arrogance game", paying attention to each other, but pretending not to see it.
We heard and saw some people talking.
Sandy (happily): I can't believe that she doesn't pay attention to maintenance like this. She was so beautiful in middle school.
Carol: Everyone has a Rolls gold watch, mine is made of platinum.
Richard stood with three men. They listened attentively to every word he said. There was a drunk person who was eavesdropping next to them.
Richard: ...the power of the fifth-generation core will cause a development in a smaller company.
Drunk (to Richard): Your hateful computer made me lose my job. You are a millionaire, and I am a hapless loser.
Another person politely stopped the drunkard and led him away. Richard was shocked.
25. Interior view, gym (another)
Carol and Peggy.
Carol (chuckling): Welcome to the ranks of celibacy.
Peggy: I don't know what you did. Apart from Charlie, I have never even dated anyone.
Carol: You should have remembered... Men are like houses and prosperous businesses... I thought you had a very closed marriage.
Peggy: We had a long and happy marriage. We just got married too early, and we complained about each other because we lost something.
Carol: So he started to mess around with flowers. You are discouraged.
Peggy nodded.
Carol (continued): You should have left here like me a few years ago.
Peggy: It's not a local issue, I don't agree with it. (Emotionally exaggerated) Being trapped in the same city forever, this is because she is willing to pay the price for her greed in her youth.
Carol: After you became pregnant, my mother didn't allow me to talk to you. She thought it was contagious.
Peggy: Oh, it's not that bad. I have two lovely children and I have my own business. (Pause) However, I am more sensible now. If I had the opportunity to start all over again, I would definitely handle things quite differently.
Carol: Not everyone is like this.
26. Interior view.
Dorothy Dodge , an office connected to the gym, starts interviewing Maddie and Arthur. She turns on the tape recorder and raises the loudspeaker.
Dolores: Madeleine Hurd and Arthur Nagel were a couple in middle school. They got married right after graduation and they still live together. In today's era, this is commendable. Ma Di, Arthur, you missed the sexual revolution, how do you feel?
Ma Di (infuriated): What kind of problem is this? It has nothing to do with the party.
Arthur (thoughtfully, into the loudspeaker): I'm glad you asked this. Four years ago, Madi and I found Christ...
Dolores: The awakening of the soul. This is the purpose of the party. Familiar faces, forgotten memories, ancient dance steps and music... a great time machine.
27. Interior
scene , the gym camera panning the gym, I saw:
Carol and Walter Gates are dancing, he is slender, handsome and cheerful. He used to be the boyfriend in Carroll Middle School, now he is a dentist and a wonderful dance partner. They cooperate very harmoniously. The men and women dancing around cast envious eyes.
Carol: I have never been able to keep up with you.
Walter (a quick kick): Just call me the dancing dentist Walter. To manage the teeth, but also to practice the legs and feet. This is my specialty.
28. Interior view,
Peggy's table in another part of the gym .
Peggy, Richard, and Sharon sit with Terry and Lisa, Leon and Sandy.
A hand reached into the screen and gently touched Peggy's shoulder. Peggy turned around and found Rosalie Testa. She is petite, with ear-length hair. She is in a wheelchair with a plastic badge on her body; the party committee.
Rosalie: I remember this dress.
Peggy: Rosalie Testa!
"Hello" greeted each other again. Peggy helped Rosalie get her wheelchair close to the table.
Rosalie: I also remember when you got this little gold box on the necklace. At that time you were so excited, I think you showed it to everyone in the school.
Peggy: Your memory is incredible.
Sharon: The golden box is beautiful. Can it be opened?
Peggy: Yes. These two are my children. But they are no longer little babies.
Insert lens: small golden box.
Inside are photos of Beth and Scott when they were young.
Rosalie (laughing): I think you got married when you were three.
29. Interior view,
Dorothy in the gym office interviewing Walter and Carol.
Dolores: Carol Pritchard Heath and Walter Gates are couples in high school, and they took different paths. Twenty years later, they met again after four marriages. Walter is an accomplished dentist and Carol is an experienced professional woman. Carol, what is the real purpose of your coming back for this party?
Carol: Mainly because of curiosity. I heard that you finally found a sweetheart, but unfortunately she is already married.
Walter (can't help but laugh): Stop it, the dog bites the dog. No one will spare anyone.
30. Interior view, gym, Peggy's table
shot from their point of view.
Dolores walked to their table confidently.
When Dolores walked over and put the tape recorder on the table, Maddie and Arthur left. She ignored the others and aimed at Richard.
Dolores: Hello, everyone. Are you Richard Nowick? This is Dolores Dodge from KARP Radio. Can I take up one minute of your time?
Richard: Of course, I remember you.
Dolores started her machine.
31. Interior scene, gym, a series of shots. The
band is singing "Old Rock Music". Peggy and Sharon strolled in the gym, looking at the enlarged photos on the wall. Several people stopped Peggy and hugged her. Ma Di and Arthur are dancing, they don't care about the fierce beat, they just dance slowly. Beth is walking around the stage, handing a drink to the guitarist. Walter dances with Rosalie in a wheelchair.
Bearded fat man: As a result, I like to do business. Every morning I came to thank God that I was still alive, and said: "Who am I going to blackmail today?"
Leon: Let's play "Rate the Moment". Score 87 points tonight. Better than Hu, not as interesting as playing handball.
32. Interior view,
Dorothy has left the gym office . Walter puts a few tubes of cocaine on the back of the clipboard while Carol watched.
Walter: It's best to be a dentist. It's purely a pharmacist's degree. With a few tubes of cocaine, I can drill my teeth. (Looks at her for a moment) Hi.
Carol: Hi.
33. Interior scene, gym, a series of shots of
serious men (to wife): Joe would like this kind of party. God, I still miss him.
Maddie (to Carol): Peggy and they just broke up and they are in a mess, but I think she's free. It seems pretty smooth now.
Carol: Sometimes you feel better when you hate them.
The greasy and nasty drunk: I can't remember if I had a relationship with you in middle school.
Lisa: Don't you think that was yesterday?
Terry: Youth is like a sawn off leg. After it has fallen for a long time, you can still feel it.
Still the big beard: my wife is a cow, my son has a big head, and my daughter is in India with Mother Teresa.
Woman: My husband is a pig. But my son does social work, my daughter, God bless her, she is with Mother Teresa in India.
Leon: For eugenics, we must have given birth to a lot of pig babies.
Sandy: I don't remember anything from the seventies.
Lisa: Divorce is terrible. I said that we have a very special attachment. He said: "Vacuum cleaners are like this."
Leon: I don't know why I want to come back. I hate high school life.
A group of people around him replied: "I hate it too."
Rosalie: I like middle school life.
34. Interior view,
Peggy leisurely holding a glass of drink by the wall of the gym , Sharon standing in front of a photo of the 1960 cross country team.
The lens is facing the photo. In the photo, Michael Fitzsimmons is standing on the side. His hair is relatively long. His eyes were enthusiastic, but he didn't smile.
Sharon: Who is the one with long hair?
Peggy: His name is Michael Fitzsimmons, and I was obsessed with him.
Carol and Maddie approached, not breathing after the dance.
Carol: Hey, Peggy, my God, Walter Gates is still so good at jumping.
Peggy: He is your first boyfriend. how do you feel? Are there any emotional sparks left?
Carol: Who knows. Remember (pause), whatever Walt wants...
Carol, Peggy, and Maddie (laughs): Walter Gates!
Peggy: Sharon Nowick, this is Carol Heath and Maddie Nagel. They are my earliest and closest friends. Sharon is Richard's wife.
Carol: Blessed lady. Hi.
Maddie (looking at the photo): Michael Fitzsimmons! Is he here?
Peggy: No, I asked Rosalie. She didn't find him.
Carol: Too bad.
Sharon: He must be a very good guy.
Peggy: He is the only boy I wished to slept with him when I was in high school.
Carol: The only one?
Peggy: Oh, except for Charlie of course.
The camera stops on Michael's picture.

35. Interior
scene , gymnasium, later the band will sing "Just Because". The dance partners are dancing slowly. Dolores is still interviewing Richard. Peggy, Sharon and Carol walked back to their seats.
Sharon: Peggy, would you please rescue Richard? Go and invite him to dance.
Richard: Are we finished, Dolores? great.
Dolores: So...
Richard stood up and helped Sharon sit down.
Richard (to Sharon): Can you just stay by yourself?
Sharon: It's okay. Go ahead.
Peggy and Richard walked to the crowded dance floor and began to dance.
Richard: People like Dolores in the past only noticed me when they laughed and ridiculed me. Dug Snell, the one who held my hand when we came in, used to call me four-eyed bugs.
Peggy: Oh, you showed them. You are rich, prestigious and accomplished, and you have a beautiful wife.
Richard: You have always been friendly to me. I feel relieved. (Pause) You don't know, it used to be a fantasy of mine in the past.
Peggy: What do you fantasize about?
Richard: Dance with you.
Peggy: You are a likable person, Richard.
Richard: I guess a part of our hearts never really left high school.
Peggy: You know what, I have never told anyone, but I always have a feeling that when you are there, before going to heaven, you have the opportunity to fly around the middle school for a while.
The camera slowly pulled back, and Peggy and Richard became part of the dancing crowd, all indulging in the nostalgic atmosphere.
36. Shooting from the door
Charlie walks in and stands by the door. He hesitates to look around, looking for his friends. He got together with Arthur, Walter, Terry, and Leon almost immediately. They shook hands and rejoiced to meet.
Terry: The new force of the party is here.
Leon: I know you won't fail to come.
Everyone was happy to see Charlie. His eyes met Peggy, and he tentatively waved to her vaguely. Terry looked at the band.
Terry: You know, they should at least invite us to sing. Of course we don’t sing, but they should invite us.
Close shot of Peggy. She looked at Charlie.
37. Shot from the perspective of dancing
Arthur walked onto the stage and put a hat box on the loudspeaker. He is the style of the Chamber of Commerce.
Arthur (to the microphone): Hello, would you please pay attention.
The buzzing in the room diminished, and Peggy and Richard returned to their seats.
Arthur: I know it's late. Some people have to drive a long way, so the party committee decided that it's time for you all to wait. You don't know what is waiting, because we didn't tell you in advance, but the committee has already selected a king and queen. Don’t worry now, I’ll take care of it, so the band will continue to play for at least an hour. My old friend Judge Crystal said that the bar’s business hours can be as we please.
Everyone applauds. The camera is facing Peggy and Charlie.
They stayed in the opposite place of the party, but they both paid attention to each other.
Arthur (continued): While you are waiting. Let us give a warm applause to Rosalie Testa, the petite lady who supervises all the decorations for us.
The applause was even more enthusiastic. The camera is facing Rosalie in a wheelchair.
Arthur: Now back to this question. The members of the committee considered these two people over and over again, and they best represented the spirit of Buchanan Middle School's 1960 class. This king has come a long way in many ways since he left here.
The camera is facing Peggy's table.
They all looked at Richard. Knowing that he was obviously selected.
Arthur: We proudly welcome him back, Richard Nowick, come here! King Richard!
The band blew the horn and beat the drums. Richard stood up and stepped onto the stage. Everyone applauds. The band played a chorus of "Achievement".
The camera is facing Walter.
Walter (jokingly): I ask for a re-election. (Laughs) The
camera faces the stage.
Arthur put a gold paper crown on Richard's head. They shake hands.
Richard: Sharon and I thank you all for welcoming us so warmly. I'm stealing when I come back here.
As Richard stepped back, the applause was even more enthusiastic.
Arthur: Every king should have a queen. Now we have many well-deserved candidates. I don't want any lady to lose the election, because you are all beautiful. But when we sent out the invitation, we didn't mention that it was a clothing event.
Peggy felt ashamed that everyone was watching her.
Arthur: Maybe we should mention it, because as long as looking at her, she brings back everything we had in the past. Ladies and gentlemen, I recommend to you our queen, Peggy Hugh Kelcher Bodier. Please come here, Peggy Hugh.
The band began to play the song "Peggy Hugh." Peggy looked painful. She didn't move.
Carol: They are waiting. go quickly.
Peggy (almost crying): I can't. you flatter me.
Carol: Go, you can afford it.
Charlie and Beth stood together, and Beth worried for Peggy. The camera follower Peggy walked up the stage hesitantly. As she walked, she looked at another enlarged photo on the wall. It was at the prom in 1960. She and Charlie were queens and kings. Arthur handed the crown to Richard, who put it on Peggy's head. He kissed her on the cheek and took a step back, beaming.
Peggy (after calming down, facing the loudspeaker): Thank you everyone. Thank you so much.
The lights dimmed and Peggy was in the spotlight. When the singer stood in front of his loudspeaker and started singing "Peggy Hugh," there was endless applause.
38. Peggy was on the stage, cutting through the scenes taken from her point of view.
People began to slap and slap together. Carol and the scenes taken from her point of view: there is a picture of Carol on the wall when she performed in the graduating class. Zoom in on the stills. Walter and the picture taken from his point of view: a photo of Walter when he was on the basketball team. People left their tables one after another and flocked to the stage with the music. Ma Di and the picture taken from her point of view: Ma Di and her friends are taking weird pictures at the camera in the cafeteria. Charlie speaks to Carol.
Peggy began to whimper in a low voice. All the images merge with the rhythm of the music. Peggy is the focal point of everyone's nostalgia. The waves of time washed over them. She remained on the stage, looking across the crowd at the picture of her and Charlie.
Peggy closed his eyes on stage, shaking to the music. Walter and Carol walked to the stage hand in hand. Rosalie was sitting in a wheelchair, doing rock dance movements with both hands, tears in her eyes. Everyone shook with the music, looking at Peggy, singing the chorus repeatedly.
Beth noticed her mother's emotional state. Peggy passed out on stage. We heard calls and screams. Richard, Arthur, and a few others surrounded Peggy. Beth ran to the stage and reached for her mother. Charlie also stretched out his arm.
The music stops.
39. Interior view, a close-up of the gym, a thin syringe filled with blood is inserted into Peggy's arm during the day
Pulling behind the camera, Peggy was seen lying on a canvas bed. She wore the clothes she wore at the party. She was terrified. We heard a few words in the background audio: call someone's name, nurses are busy, and so on. She raised her eyes to see the intravenous syringe. The nurse took the syringe from her arm and put a small tube of blood in a tray with several other tubes inside. Peggy sat up slowly, staring, terribly scared. She looked at the nurse.
Nurse: Do you want to "fit your body" now?
Peggy took the "Tiyunji" and looked at it in a daze. She looked around and saw students donating blood to the Red Cross. Several people have needles in their arms. The nurses take care of them.
Carol sat up to drink a glass of juice, and raised his hand weakly to Peggy. Ma Di is now a dark-skinned girl, slowly lowering her sleeves. There are also Arthur, Dolores, Walter, and a few people who have appeared at the party. Everyone is younger, but they can be recognized immediately.
Charlie walked to Peggy. He smiled at her, with waxy, vampire canine teeth at the corners of his mouth, and a thick layer of Blackrim wax on his hair.
Lu Li: I want to suck your blood, and I want to drink your "body uniform foundation."
Peggy: Charlie, am I dead?
Charlie: No, you are not dead. If you give me the "Tiyunji", you will live forever. (Voice becomes normal) Come on, let me drink it. Anyway, you don't like to drink.
Peggy handed him "Tianyunji", and Charlie bent down and rubbed his nose against her neck. The nurse reached into the screen, grabbed Charlie by the back of the collar, and lifted him up.
Nurse: Young man, don't do that.
The class bell rang.
Charlie: Hi! I have just passed blood from your blood bank, and now I want to extract blood.
Nurse: I think you should go to the next class.
Charlie: I'm in the exchange bank!
Charlie pulled away and walked towards Walter and Arthur. Peggy stared at his back. His body blocked part of the banner hung on the wall. The words on the banner read: "Support the blood donation campaign at Buchanan Middle School." Words. Peggy was panting. She began to shiver.
Nurse: Lie down and take deep breaths.
Peggy: What happened? Where am i?
Nurse: You fainted for a while. Do not worry.
Peggy: Why did I come here?
Maddie and Carol came over with their books.
Nurse: Why don't you let your friend do me a favor? (To Maddie and Carol) Lead her to the bathroom and pour some cold water on her face to refresh her.
Maddie: Okay, miss.
They helped Peggy up and led her through the gym.
40. Interior view, the ladies' bathroom connected to the gym, the
girls walked in. Carol lit a cigarette immediately. Peggy walked to the mirror.
Carol (to Peggy): Do you want to smoke?
Maddie: It's not good for her the most.
Peggy: No, thank you. I have quit for several years.
When Peggy took a closer look at the reflection of herself and the girls in the mirror, Maddie and Carol reacted. She covered her throat with one hand and found that the little gold box on the necklace was missing.
Peggy: Where is it?
Carol: Let's take you back to the nurse.
Peggy: Maddie, why do you comb your hair like this?
Ma Di looked in the mirror.
41. Interior view, the school, the nurse's office,
Maddie and Carol are waiting. Peggy came out of the office, grabbed a notice and handed it to Maddie in a daze. Together they walked to the gate. Peggy supported the wall so as not to fall over.
Carol: Let's take you home.
Peggy: No, I can definitely know Lu.
42.
Outside scene, these girls are walking outside by the school . Peggy scanned the old cars in the parking lot. The most striking thing was a blue Chevrolet Blue Goral with a movable cage. Peggy stared for a moment, shivering after recognizing it. She followed Carol and Maddie to a 1955 Ford car. Maddie helped Peggy sit in the back seat.
43. Exterior scene, main street, the car was
driving forward Carol and chatting with Maddie. Peggy in the back seat stared out the window, as if driving in Disneyland. She said something like "It's never here again".
44. Exterior scene, suburban street, Kelcher's
car stopped by the side of the road. Peggy got out of the car. Madi handed her the book and notice, and turned her fingers around her ear.
Carol: I'll call you back.
Peggy: Okay. Let's keep in touch.
Peggy walked to the door of the house, like a night walker who was not awake. She clicked the door slightly after a while.
Woman's voice (outside the painting): Who is it?
Peggy: It's Peggy. (Trembling) Peggy Hugh.
Woman's voice (outside the picture): Come in, the door is open.
Peggy slowly opened the door.
45. Interior view, foyer,
Peggy of the Kelcher family enters the door, looking at the kitchen from the foyer. Evelyn Kelcher, a forty-four-five-year-old amiable woman, turned from the sink to Peggy.
Peggy (weakly): Mom!
Mrs. Kelcher: The nurse called and said you would come home.
Peggy looked at her blankly for a moment, then held up the notice and walked to her mother.
Peggy: I have a notice.
Mrs. Kelcher: What do you think?
Peggy: They asked me to come back early.
Mrs. Kelcher: Why not lie down for a while.
Peggy: Mom!
Peggy hugged her mother as if grasping a precious life and smelling the fragrance of her.
Peggy: 5 Channoll Street. That often reminds me of home.
Mrs. Kelcher: Of course, my dear. You are at home now.
Peggy: I'm home now.
46. Interior view, Peggy's room
Peggy walked in sadly and looked around. This is a museum of handmade products for teenagers in the 1950s. She walked around, fondly touching her past things, including the record player at the beginning of the film. She looked in the mirror and confirmed that she was still there. She turned around suddenly.
Peggy: Okay, now I'm alone. Is anyone here?
She opened the closet hopefully. Then shook his head to close it.
Peggy: No. This is weird. Anyone tell me what's going on? Why should I meet this? What's the matter? You don't need to be public, I don't need to see you, just give me a signal. (Pause) Thank you so much. I guess I am independent.
Peggy's 12-year-old sister, Nancy, peered into the room from the door.
Peggy: Nancy, come here.
Nancy walked forward hesitantly. Peggy embraced her warmly.
Nancy: What are you doing?
Peggy: I am very happy to see you.
Nancy: Come on! Mom said you were sick. You never like to see me.
Peggy: I'm sorry. I really hope we can get closer. I haven't settled the relative relationship in my life... Enough.
Nancy: Teenagers are weird. And you are the weirdest.
Peggy: Let's do something together. Do you want to play the "catch the big head" game? Or do you play "pinching your nose" or "advancing and retreating"?
Nancy (suspiciously): Okay, what do you want? What kind of fool do you like to make me the most?
47. Interior view, living room
On the screen of a small black and white TV, Dick Clark is introducing a spotlight dance. Peggy and Nancy sat on the sofa and watched. Nancy is eating a small piece of cake.
Peggy: It's incredible. Men never grow old.
Nancy: Look at Kenny Rossi. Isn't he quite fascinated? I hope he and Aleni blow. She thought how amazing she was.
Peggy: Don't eat the red candy.
Nancy: Why don't you eat it? This is my favorite food.
Peggy: That's not good for you. They will stain... the lips red.
Nancy looked at her when Peggy stood up. The camera followed Peggy to the cubicle.
48. Interior view, in the cubicle
Peggy opened the beverage cabinet and took out a bottle of Scotch whiskey and a wine glass. She saw the family photo on the wall.
Peggy: It won't hurt anymore. I am already dead.
She poured several glasses of wine.
Nancy (outside the picture): Peggy Hugh! quick. Fabian!
When Peggy walked back to the living room, calmed herself down and the camera followed.
49. Interior view, in the living room,
Peggy fell on a rocking chair that was reclined backwards. Unexpectedly, the chair swayed backwards, causing Peggy's legs to pop up.
Mrs. Kelcher (in the kitchen): I put your clean clothes on your bed, don’t forget to put them away.
Nancy: What do you have for dinner?
Mrs. Kelcher: Eat meat buns.
Nancy: Oh, don't eat anymore.
Peggy leaned forward while eating candy in a rocking chair, watching Nancy watching TV and her mother who was making buns in the kitchen with interest.
50. The camera is facing the hall, and the front door opens.
Peggy's father Jack Kelcher leaves the hall.
Mr. Kelcher: Girls? Evelyn? Who is pulling things outside?
He turned and walked out.
Mrs. Kelcher: What is it?
Mrs. Kelcher and Nancy followed him out the door, while Peggy staggered to the front door, leaning on the door frame and looking at the family.
51. Location, Car Road
Peggy’s point of view: The family is admiring a red and white Edsel car.
Mr. Kelcher: What do you think?
Mrs. Kelcher (uneasily): Oh, Jack.
Nancy: Awesome! Waiting for me to tell Diane. She always shows off her dad's Cadirak.
Mr. Kelcher: Peggy Hugh, what do you think?
Peggy: Oh, dad. You always do such a thing. (Excited) It's fun! so fun!
She walked unsteadily to the car and lay on the car and laughed. Mr. Kelcher walked up to her and smelled the wine she exhaled.
Mr. Kelcher: Miss, you are drunk!
Peggy (laughs): Kind of. I have a bad day today.
Mr. Kelcher: I don't see anything funny about it. Go back to your room immediately. You can't do it anymore.
Peggy (drunk): Nothing? what! joke! I don't want to go back to the house. I want to import Japanese cars, and I want to go to Liverpool to find the Beatles.
Mrs. Kelcher: Jack, don't be nervous. She donated blood at school today. Maybe it's just a little dizzy.
Mr. Kelcher: Not because of blood donation. Is drunk.
Peggy: Dad, I never thought you had no sense of humor.
Mr. Kelcher: Evelyn, let her go to bed.
52. Interior view, Peggy's bedroom
Peggy is lying on the bed, and her mother covers her with a quilt.
Mrs. Kelcher: My dear, don't try to grow so fast.
Peggy: Oh, mom, I can't remember you ever being so young.
The camera moves closer to Peggy. She heard her mother coming downstairs.
Mrs. Kelcher (outside the picture): A new car. We can't afford a new car.
Mr. Kelcher (outside the picture): Don't worry, this is in time for the quarterly price reduction.
Mrs. Kelcher (outside the picture): There are four seasons a year, and you will catch up with four big discounts.
53. Interior view, Peggy's bedroom.
Peggy puts on a towel in the morning and walks out of the bathroom.
Shot from behind her. She withdrew her bath towel in front of a full-length mirror, and admired her 29-year-old figure with delight.
Peggy: Let's be realistic! ...And also a bit surreal!
Nancy walked in, neatly dressed and ready to go to school.
Peggy: Good morning.
Nancy walked to Peggy's closet.
Nancy: Can I borrow this sweater?
Peggy: Yes, but be careful. I want to keep it for my daughter, she likes this material.
54. Interior view, kitchen. In the morning
, Mr. Kelcher and Nancy are sitting at the table for breakfast. Mrs. Kelcher was standing by the sink scraping toast. Peggy came in bounced, she was wearing an adult haircut, looking very natural. Good morning everyone.
Mrs. Kelcher: What's wrong with your hair? Your face is so beautiful, why do you always want to cover it up?
Peggy: Oh. I forgot.
When Peggy sat down, Mrs. Kelcher went around the faucet and handed her an elastic band. Peggy knotted her hair into a ponytail.
Mr. Kelcher: You looked very lively and beautiful this morning.
Peggy: I'm still here, right? I may also enjoy myself. I plan to go to school today. (Pause) Dad, I apologize to you for what happened yesterday. That car is top-notch. Use it when vitality is strongest.
Mr. Kelcher: Thank you. I accept your apology and hope that the same thing will not happen again.
Peggy: It won't happen again.
Mr. Kelcher: You are still so young, not when you started to develop bad habits.
Peggy: Mom, do you still have coffee?
Mrs. Kelcher began to pour the coffee, then withdrew her hands, adding some to Mr. Kelcher.
Mrs. Kelcher: When did you start drinking coffee?
Peggy: Oh, ah... the latest thing. All young people drink.
Kelcher: If all young people jumped into the river, would you jump too?
Peggy: I think I took the lead.
Nancy: Please pass me the toast.
Peggy handed her the toast.
Nancy: Butter too.
Peggy: You know, you two are very good parents. I really have to think about rules and regulations.
Mr. Kelcher: Yeah, at least you don't call my dad-cloth.
Nancy (correct him): Dad—no.
Peggy: Mom, sit down for a while. That's great, everyone stayed together like this again.
Nancy: Can I tell Diane that Peggy Hugh is drunk? Or treat it as the most secret thing in the family? (No one speaks) Huh?
Mrs. Kelcher: Does Diane like the braces of her beautiful teeth?
Nancy: She doesn't like it, no one will like it. They just call you "Pile of Tattered Faces" and "Miss Metal Mouth". I have to go.
Nancy jumped up and grabbed the lunch on the platform. When she walked out the door, she said "goodbye" to each other. We heard the sound of a horn outside, a jazz phrase composed of five notes.
Peggy: Oh, yes. Charlie. How can I deal with him?
Mrs. Kelcher: What's the matter? Did the two of you quarrel?
Peggy: It's a little bit.
Mrs. Kelcher: For what?
Peggy: To pay for the room.
55. Location,
Peggy of Kelcher walked out of the house and was taken aback when he saw Charlie's blue car she had seen the day before. Charlie was sitting in the car with one arm on the steering wheel and the other arm on the back of the chair.
Charlie: What do you think.
Peggy: It feels weird.
Peggy hesitated, wondering what to do with the ambivalence she had accumulated towards Charlie.
Charlie: Come on, get in the car. I will be careful.
Peggy got into the car cautiously. Charlie leaned over to kiss her, but she pushed him away and refused.
Peggy: Nothing now, Charlie, I have a headache. You have to get used to this word and let it hang on your lips for years.
Charlie: Hi, I have a revelation. You look quite energetic today.
Checking the haircut and moving the car, he suddenly increased the accelerator and galloped away.
Peggy: You drive like crazy.
Charlie: I call this "jumping". (Mischief)
56. Interior scene, Charlie's car is driving, during the day
Charlie (sincerely): I am not happy because you are sick, but I had a chance to think about something last night.
Peggy: Oh, is it?
Charlie: What you know is about what we said on Tuesday. It is of great significance.
Peggy: Just remind me.
Charlie: How could you forget? We talked about visiting others, did you forget?
Peggy: I might have planned it.
Charlie: I can understand. But please stop crying.
57. Outside,
Charlie's car in the school parking lot stopped.
Charlie: This is not eternal. I estimate that three years will be enough. I can see what the result of engaging in music will be. (More uncertainly) After graduation, before we lay down our hearts to get married, we can meet some people separately to make some comparisons. Do you understand me?
Peggy: Why wait?
Charlie (surprisingly): Well, we started the dance, all those dances. We cannot make our parents unhappy.
Peggy: They will learn to bear it.
Peggy got out of the car and walked towards the school. Charlie sat stunned.
58. Outside scene,
Peggy and Charlie were surrounded by friends when they walked to the school. Walter and Leon are playing near the school gate. They climbed onto the signal pole and tried to make their bodies parallel to the ground. A group of people cheered for them. We saw the iron palms on the soles of Walter's shoes.
59. Interior view,
Peggy is standing in the front hall at a loss. Charlie walked back, took her by the hand, and led her to the locker.
Charlie: You are more arrogant than you want to admit. You will get used to it. We still see each other two or three times a week.
Charlie opened the locker and Peggy looked carefully, remembering the number of the lock. When Peggy looked at her class schedule on the door of the cabinet, Charlie took out a few books.
Charlie: Do you want me to drive you home?
Peggy: Are you willing?
Charlie (snarling): Would I? ! Why should I... I
didn't expect this sentence to make Charlie angry. He laughed and walked away. It seemed that Peggy was completely confused. She was surrounded by the crowd and they greeted her. She couldn't remember their names.
60. Interior view, classroom, in the morning
we saw Peggy, Maddie, Dolores, Arthur and Carol singing "America, My Country". Except for Peggy's passionate performance, everyone else was grumbling, and the students thought she was crazy. Peggy was determined to be happy. The school’s cable radio started broadcasting, and no one listened to it except Peggy.
Man's voice (outside the picture): Good morning, classmates. This is Mr. Moses. Our women's diving team participated in the county finals at Cumminda Beek Middle School this morning. We know they all put a lot of effort into it... So let us wish them luck.
Peggy: Where is Rosalie Testa?
Carroll: It's probably at a diving competition.
Man's voice (outside the picture): Finally, congratulations to Richard Nowick for winning the first place in the national math competition. We are proud of you, Richard...that's all, classmates.
Several students called Richard's name contemptuously. The class bell rang.
61. Interior view, another classroom,
Maddie, Dolores and Peggy walk into the classroom. Peggy stood at the door until most of the students were seated. She saw an empty seat, convinced that this was her position, and then went to sit down.
Dolores: Are you ready for the exam?
Peggy (shocked): Exam?
62. The interior, classroom, after 20 minutes
, Mr. Snelgrove, a nosy, annoying little man, standing in his teaching table.
Snellgrove: Okay, classmates. Time is up.
He walked along the corridor to collect the test papers. When he got to Peggy, he got a blank scroll.
Snellgrove: What does that mean, Peggy Hugh?
Peggy (patiently): Mr. Snellgrove, I happen to know that I will never need a little bit of algebra in the future. This is my experience.
The class held their breath, a few students applauded, and Mr. Snellgrove stretched his face.
63. Interior view, another classroom,
Mr. Gilfang during the day is teaching "The Old Man and the Sea". Michael Fitzsimmons (seen him in a cross-country photo at the party) speaks. He always wears dark clothes.
Michael: Santiago came back and found nothing... there is no meat on the bones. This is another self-squeeze of Hemingway, he is trying to prove that he can still do a career.
Gilfang: ... Hemingway wants to show that, Michael, we are alone—so when we go too far, we are vulnerable. The irony is that Santiyego was defeated by the Shark, but he still deserves to be a hero.
The bell rang after class. The students started to leave.
Gilfang: Over the weekend, read the first four chapters of The Great Gatsby. I hope you like it.
Peggy walked to Jill hesitantly.
Peggy: Mr. Gilfang, can I have a word with you?
Gilfang: Of course, Peggy Hugh, what are you thinking about?
Peggy: I just want to tell you how I like your class. You taught me many things. You are a very good teacher.
Gilfang: You are very kind. thanks.
Peggy: Thank you. Well, I also thought that their salary is not high enough for you.
64. Location, where
Walter, Charlie and Arthur are sitting at a long table for lunch .
Walter: Why does your father take stock on Sunday night? It's time to play poker on Sunday night. You used to come out to play cards.
Charlie: I have to tease him for a while. This is for his good.
Arthur: But you are not doing his job, when do you plan to explain it to him?
Charlie: Almost. I can explain everything to everyone at once.
Peggy, Carol, and Maddie came over and sat down with their lunch plates. Peggy deliberately avoided the empty seat beside Charlie. Both of them are awkward. Peggy felt sick when he saw the liquid splashing on the tray.
Walter: There are strange rumors about you in the school.
Peggy (vigilantly): What do you mean?
Walter: What I heard is that you really gave it to the old Snell Grove.
Maddie: I was there at the time. She smashed the ghost in front of her face.
Arthur: Good girl, Pegg.
Peggy: Arthur, please don't call me Pegg.
Arthur: Why should I...
Charlie: Walter and Apehaha laughed.
Peggy: I don't understand.
Carol: This is because you are not a pure fool like them.
Maddie: They just imitated stupid old movies and started making up stories.
Walter: You have said enough, little girl.
Charlie: Look, I threw you with a book!
Arthur: Why should I... the
boys are agitated again. The girls think they are too incurable.
Peggy looked at Michael Fitzsimmons as he was immersed in reading. He raised his head and glanced sharply at Peggy, then lowered his head to read.
Richard Nowick also sat alone, wearing an old-fashioned suit, using a slide rule to work hard on a math problem.
Peggy stood up and looked back at Charlie and the table.
Peggy: I'll be back soon.
The camera follows Peggy towards Richard.
Another angle.
Walter: She wastes no time at all. Peggy Hugh and Mr. Squar Rutter?
Charlie: He is a good man. Do you know he is writing a book?
Walter: Oh, a book... Give me a break. (Possessing lips and smirking)
Another angle.
Peggy stood in front of Richard. He looked up nervously and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, which was his habit.
Peggy: Congratulations on your success in the math contest, Richard.
Richard: It's actually not that difficult.
Dug Snell (who became Merrill Lynch's husband at the party) walked by.
Doug: What are you doing, Peggy Hugh? Do you catch four eye worms?
Peggy: Go aside, you idiot.
Doug and Richard were stunned.
Peggy: I must talk to you. Things are very important.
Richard: I am not a tutor this year. I am too busy.
Peggy: Not that. Shall we meet after school? I beg you.
Richard: Okay. I am in the physics laboratory. It's half past four. I have a club in the Rockets club.
65. Interior scenes, classrooms, and housekeeping.
There are several charts on the bare walls: the basic wood structure of food, the secrets of grooming; exquisite furnishings; the combination of a happy family, that is, the husband is the general manager, the wife is the deputy general manager, and the children are employees. , Grandparents are members of the team. Miss Otto stood at the desk. Standing in front of the class is:
Ma Di: Therefore, a successful children's banquet can be summed up as one word-plan. With a thoughtful plan, you can have a successful birthday party that doesn't cost much and is fun. Including the mother is also happy.
She returned to her seat.
Miss Otto: Very thorough understanding, Madeline, thank you. Now... (pause) Peggy Hugh, your title is "How to Choose a Nursery." are you ready?
Peggy: Ah... well. Of course.
Peggy walked to the front and smiled gently at the class.
Peggy: Choosing a good nursery is probably one of the most important decisions you can make. It often determines your child's attitude towards education and learning. (Smugly) Of course, what they have learned is elementary socialism-sharing with others, considering others. (Memories) Children have been very smart since they were young. Every day, they bring home small excellent homework, and you stick them on the refrigerator door. They are so proud and proud that they spelled all their names wrong. Scott often writes his "s" backwards, and Beth will make some cute little flowers...
Peggy wipes away a teardrop. The whole class and Miss Otto were stunned by her, not knowing what to do.
66. Location, the
softball team in the game field is practicing, and Michael Fitzsimmons is running with the track team. There is a boy playing football alone.
67. Close shot, a rod is rotated in the air and the
camera is pulled apart, and the rod is seen spinning down and falling into the hands of a uniformed female band conductor. She skillfully moved the stick around her thighs, and then threw it into the air to spin. The other rod flew up, not turning very beautifully, it fell down and fell to the ground through Peggy's hand. Six female band conductors in uniform are practicing, and Dorothy is one of them.
Dolores: Look at this girl. Look at this one. Did you know, Peggy Long-legged, you should be demoted to be the hall monitor.
Captain of the female band: Hurry up, Peggy Hugh. Try again. You haven't practiced yet.
Peggy tried again enthusiastically, training until at least he could catch the rod and make it continue to spin. She keeps practicing, she's pretty strong. Michael ran across the screen, he was the only long-distance runner.
68. Location, game field, later the
female band conductors walked towards the school building. Peggy saw Charlie leaning on the car and beckoning to her.
Charlie: It looks good.
Peggy: Thank you.
Charlie: I noticed that you ignored me during lunch. I think I should. I considered my three-year plan and thought it could not be realized. I must be dizzy.
Peggy: I used to think it had many advantages.
Charlie: It might be abstractly speaking. Strangle yourself very tight! But when I imagined you going out with other boys, I felt...
Peggy: Disgusted, not worth it, poor.
Charlie: Yes. Just like that.
Peggy: Very good.
Peggy turned and walked away. Charlie looked pitiful.
69. Interior,
Peggy , Physics Laboratory, comes in and walks towards Richard. He was too focused on constructing a refined kite, so he didn't notice her.
Peggy: This kite is awesome.
Richard: I am writing a book about kite construction. What are you going to talk about?
Peggy: I want to ask you a question. (Pause) Do you think...time travel is possible?
Richard: Are you doing some kind of science project?
Peggy: It's a little bit.
Richard: Hmm... In the framework of Newton's theory, this possibility is very small, but after the emergence of related theories, the concept of absolute time can no longer be concluded.
Peggy didn't understand at all.
Richard: Then, there is Richard's "Britou".
Peggy: What is that?
Richard: This is my theory based on a Mexican food called "Britou". My parents had it once when they took me to Disneyland.
Peggy: I know what it is.
Richard: I think time is like a piece of "brito". Sometimes it just folds up on its own, with one part touching another.
Peggy: What's in it?
Richard: You can put whatever you want in it. From fantasy to memory, from personal experience to innocence and ignorance, from joy to the entire universe.
Peggy: So you think time travel is possible? Is it possible for humans?
Richard: Absolutely. People, dogs and elephants.
Peggy: Listen to me, you must keep it secret. Can't tell anyone. Promise?
Richard: Okay. I promise.
Peggy: This is serious. No one will know. Ah, I have come back from the future. I traveled back for 25 years.
Richard: You are probably crazy. Wait a minute. Are you just talking about it? I know what you think of me.
Peggy: No. real. You are the smartest person I know. It sounds unbelievable, but I can confirm it.
Richard: Really?
Peggy: Your grandfather is blind. One day you will invent a machine that reads books for the blind. I saw the report. You will be famous. You will invent many things.
Richard: How did you know my grandfather?
Peggy: Because I'm telling you the truth. I know what will happen. There will be IVF and heart transplants. On July 20, 1969, an American named Neil Armstrong will land on the moon.
Richard: Seiya, Toledo (Note 3), I knew it 6 years in advance!
70. Location, Main Street,
Peggy and Richard are walking with their books.
Richard: But when did you leave? Have you been here since then? Are you there before now? Which direction did you come in from? Are you a moving point on an infinite line that extends to the past? Can anyone do this?
Peggy: I don't know.
Peggy and Richard walked past the Showworth coffee shop unknowingly. Dolores and Carol saw them from inside.
71. Location, another street, facing Richard's house.
Richard: If I were you, I would be very careful. You don't want to fall into the poisonous hands of some madman who plots to manipulate your brain.
Peggy: That's why I want to divorce. (Pauses) I actually think that I had a heart failure at the party and was already dead.
72. Location, Richard's car road.
Richard: Your body looks pretty pretty.
Peggy: Oh, Richard, I'm serious.
Richard: You make me creepy.
Peggy: Am I dead or alive?
Richard: This is not clear.
Richard stopped and threw away his book. He stepped up to Peggy, threw her book away, and dragged her to the side of the road.
Peggy: What are you doing?
Richard Ming: There is an old Chinese saying: "Go is the best policy". There is a truck there. There is your door.
A big truck drove towards them.
Richard: Stand in front of the car. If you are a dead person, then it's not a problem. The truck can drive past you. Go, you are dead!
Peggy stepped away to the side of the road. The truck drove closer, and it uttered a persistent whine.
Peggy: No! I don't want to die!
73. Interior view, Richard's car room.
This is a fully equipped laboratory with kites on the wall.
Richard: Well, you are not a dead person, but no matter which scientific law is based on, you say that what you encounter is impossible.
Peggy: What if the hypothesis is super-scientific? Assuming it is God, what should I do?
Richard: Einstein said: "God does not roll the dice with the universe." I am a scientist. I believe that things have an order. Why did God bring you back as a middle school student?
Peggy: I don't know.
Richard: You are a molecule in the chaos, temporarily out of the ordinary. Maybe you have just gained the power of an unexplored prophet. Well, maybe you are nothing more than an aberration.
Peggy: I told you that I have spent my life. I don't know why and how I came here, but you must help me go back. I want to go bac
