| | '''Mrs. Compson:''' LADONNA COMPSON! |
|
| |
|
| ''Ladonna juggles two apples in front of her house.''
| | (LADONNA GASPS) |
|
| |
|
| '''Ladonna:''' Today's show is all about having fun and how, sometimes, when you're trying to have fun... | | '''Ladonna: '''BUD COMPSON! |
|
| |
|
| ''Muffy comes.'' | | '''Muffy:''' Bailey, you may proceed. |
|
| |
|
| '''Muffy:''' Ladonna! Bailey's taking me to the mall to buy Halloween costumes before anyone else. You can be a clown! Come on! | | '''Ladonna:''' Wait! |
|
| |
|
| ''A third apple appears.''
| | [[Category: Unfinished Transcripts]] |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' Uh, Okay. Just let me finish...
| |
| | |
| ''Francine comes.''
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Ladonna! The Grebes are in the play offs and I've got two tickets.
| |
| | |
| ''A fourth apple appears.''
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' Great! Popcorn's on me. I just got to...
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur comes.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Ladonna, I thought you were going to teach me how to juggle.
| |
| | |
| ''A fifth apple appears.''
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' Sure! No time like the present!
| |
| | |
| ''Bud comes with Rapty.''
| |
| | |
| '''Bud:''' What are you doing? You don't know how to juggle.
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' Whoa…
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Hey!
| |
| | |
| '''Muffy:''' Ow!
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Watch it!
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' Why'd you have to go and point that out?
| |
| | |
| ''Bud picks up an apple.''
| |
| | |
| '''Bud:''' I was hungry.
| |
| | |
| ''He bites into the apple and leaves.''
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' Like I was saying, sometimes, when you're trying to have fun, you bite off more than you can chew...
| |
| | |
| ''An apple falls on her head.''
| |
| | |
| ==Title Card: Ladonna carries an apple basket==
| |
| | |
| ''Ladonna and Fern stand in the park holding books. A red leaf falls on Ladonna’s foot and she picks it up.''
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' Wow! We've got fall in Louisiana but it's nothing like this.
| |
| | |
| '''Fern:''' It's my favorite time of year. I like to save a few really beautiful leaves for my scrapbook.
| |
| | |
| ''She puts a yellow leaf in her book.''
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' That's a great idea! Mind if I copy it?
| |
| | |
| '''Fern:''' Be my guest. Hey, you know what's really fun? The Saturday autumn craft class. You get to make gourd people. Wanna come?
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' Gourd people?
| |
| | |
| ''In her fantasy, Ladonna stands in a laboratory out of a Frankenstein movie. She pulls a lever and electric sparks hit a monster with a gourd for a hat and a lightbulb for a nose. It sits up.''
| |
| | |
| '''Monster:''' (grumbles) Mommy!
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' It's alive!
| |
| | |
| ''She hugs the monster.''
| |
| | |
| ''The fantasy ends.''
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' Count me in!
| |
| | |

| |
| | |
| ''On Friday, Ladonna closes her locker at school when Muffy and Francine join her.''
| |
| | |
| '''Muffy:''' Hi, Ladonna. Do you have any plans tomorrow?
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' Well, I...
| |
| | |
| '''Muffy:''' Great! You're coming apple picking with us!
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' It's the most fun fall thing to do. That and the harvest hay ride on Sunday. You'll do both, right?
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' Sure!
| |
| | |
| '''Muffy:''' Last year we picked four baskets. This year, I'm hoping to increase our yield by 50%.
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' No sweat! I'll warm up my picking arms!
| |
| | |
| ''She does arm exercises.''
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Ladonna leaves the school and is approached by Binky.''
| |
| | |
| '''Binky:''' Do you like puppies?
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' Um, well, yeah. Who doesn't?
| |
| | |
| '''Binky:''' Then it's your lucky day! You get to volunteer for the Rake 'n' Bake fundraiser tomorrow. ''He hands her a flyer.'' We raise money for the animal shelter.
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' Okay. Oh, wait - I'm going apple picking with...
| |
| | |
| '''Binky:''' All right, I'll put you down for an apple pie.
| |
| | |
| ''He writes on a clipboard.''
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' I got to bake a pie?
| |
| | |
| '''Binky:''' Well, I can't do everything. I've got my hands full organizing this event. See you at the Tibbles' house at three! Don't be late!
| |
| | |
| ''He waves and leaves.''
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''That night, Ladonna lies on her bed in her nightgown and makes a list.''
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' Okay, I get up at seven, make the pie crust but don't bake it yet. Go to apple picking, then... ''She erases a line.'' Wait. First comes the craft class, then the apple picking.
| |
| | |
| ''Bud stands in the door, wearing pajamas, boots and hat and holding Rapty.''
| |
| | |
| '''Bud:''' Boy, third-grade homework sure sounds hard.
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' It's not homework. I'm trying to plan out my day tomorrow.
| |
| | |
| '''Bud:''' You're doing all that? Well, that's too much! Rapty and I will make the pie for you.
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' You don't know how to make a pie.
| |
| | |
| '''Bud:''' Neither do you, but that doesn't seem to be stopping you.
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' Oh, Bud, I gotta finish this schedule. My friends have been nice enough to invite me to all these things and I'm not going to disappoint them. Now, go to bed.
| |
| | |
| ''She gently pushes Bud out of the room and closes the door.''
| |
| | |
| '''Bud:''' She's never gonna do it all.
| |
| | |
| ''He makes Rapty nod and hugs him.''
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''The next morning, Ladonna’s digital watch beeps at 7:02.''
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' (yawns)
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Ladonna stands in the kitchen, still in her nightgown, and opens a cookbook. She empties a whole bag of flour into a bowl. There is a cloud of flour dust.''
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' (coughs)
| |
| | |
| ''Ladonna knocks over a salt carton.''
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' Oh!
| |
| | |
| ''She dumps the spilled salt into the bowl and adds three pieces of butter.''
| |
| | |
| ''Ladonna kneads the dough when her mother comes in.''
| |
| | |
| '''Mrs. Compson:''' Ladonna Compson!
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' (gasps)
| |
| | |
| '''Mrs. Compson:''' What is going on here?
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' Just... making a pie. ''Her watch beeps.'' (gasps) I'll clean all this up, cross my heart, but right now you've got to take me to craft class.
| |
| | |
| ''She runs past her mother.''
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Later, Ladonna and Fern sit at a table at the community center. The class is run by Mrs. Pariso, other students include Prunella and Carl. Fern has finished a gourd woman with a necklace and a hat.''
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' That's amazing!
| |
| | |
| '''Fern:''' Thanks. I call her Lady Campbell. What are you calling… that?
| |
| | |
| ''Ladonna’s gourd has limbs of rope and some pieces resembling an ear, nose and eye glued on in odd places.''
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' Um... Frank. But it's not finished yet. I'm going to give him another eye, put him in a cow... ''Her watch beeps.'' Oh! I gotta!
| |
| | |
| '''Fern:''' But there's still half an hour left.
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' I know, I know, but I got to pick apples and the orchard's all the way on the other side of town.
| |
| | |
| ''She packs her backpack and tries to leave.''
| |
| | |
| '''Fern:''' What about Frank?
| |
| | |
| ''Ladonna picks up the gourd.''
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' Uh... I guess I'll finish him at home! Or make him into a side dish, I can't decide! Thanks! See ya!
| |
| | |
| ''She runs out.''
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Shortly afterwards, Mrs. Compson drops Ladonna off at Nora’s Apple Orchard.''
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' Thanks, Mom! Don't worry, I'll be back by two. See ya!
| |
| | |
| ''The car drives off. Muffy is supervising Bailey who stands on a ladder. Francine stands on another ladder.''
| |
| | |
| '''Muffy:''' Higher, Bailey! There's a whole bunch at the top.
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' Hey, Muffy! Sorry I'm late, we got a little lost. Here, I brought you something.
| |
| | |
| ''She hands Frank to Muffy.''
| |
| | |
| '''Muffy:''' What is it?
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' A gourd person. His name's Frank.
| |
| | |
| '''Muffy:''' What am I supposed to do with it?
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' Uh… why don't you give it to your mom? Moms love that sort of thing. Oh, thanks, I'm starving.
| |
| | |
| ''She takes the apple Muffy is holding and bites into it.''
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' So, where do I start?
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Shortly afterwards, Ladonna runs around with a basket and catches apples that Bailey and Francine drop.''
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' (pants)
| |
| | |
| ''Francine looks out of a tree.''
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Okay, I think this tree's finished.
| |
| | |
| ''Ladonna carries a basket to Muffy who is using a calculator. Ladonna is looking tired out and she collapses backwards into a basket.''
| |
| | |
| '''Muffy:''' Isn't this fun?
| |
| | |
| ''Ladonna’s watch beeps.''
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' (gasps) I gotta go!
| |
| | |
| '''Muffy:''' What? But we're still about 33% short of our goal!
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' I know, but I promised Binky I'd bake the Tibbles at three... I mean, I'd bake a pie and take it... Oh, never mind. I should have planned better. I'm sorry, Muffy.
| |
| | |
| '''Muffy:''' Okay, but you're going to miss the best part. We make candy apples and sell them at the hay ride. I was going to cut you in on the profits.
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' Rats. Well, save me an apple. Oh, one more thing. I kind of need a ride home. Can Bailey take me?
| |
| | |
| '''Muffy:''' (sighs)
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Later in the Compsons’ kitchen, Ladonna takes a pie out of the oven watched by her mother who pats her on the back. Ladonna has dough stains all over herself. Her watch beeps again.''
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' Oh, perfect. And I even have time to wash up.
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''A short while later, Ladonna returns to the kitchen in clean clothes.''
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' (gasps) ''Bud and Rapty have eaten the crust off the pie.'' Bud Compson!
| |
| | |
| ''She chases him around the table.''
| |
| | |
| '''Bud:''' I didn't do it! It's Rapty's fault. He's a “pie-nivore” dinosaur.
| |
| | |
| ''He hides behind the table.''
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' What am I gonna do now? Binky was counting on me!
| |
| | |
| '''Bud:''' Call it apple crumble. It's going to taste the same.
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Later, Ladonna arrives at the Tibbles house on her bike. The topless pie lies on a basket in front of her.''
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' I'm here, Binky! And I brought my famous Compson apple crumble. ''A raccoon runs in front of her.'' Whoa! (gasps)
| |
| | |
| ''The pie lands in Binky’s face. He licks it.''
| |
| | |
| '''Binky:''' Hmm, not bad! But you were supposed to bring the pie to the Sugar Bowl. That's where the raffle is. Didn't you read the brochure? And it's three-o-five. I am marking you as late, young lady!
| |
| | |
| ''He writes on his clipboard, then hands her a rake.''
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''A while later, Ladonna finishes making a leaf pile in the Tibbles’ garden while the Tibbles ride on a swing set. A gust of wind blows a single leaf away. Ladonna chases it through Sue Ellen’s pile.''
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' Sorry. Pardon me. Coming through! (grunts) You come back here! Oh. I'll get you! Ah. Gotcha.
| |
| | |
| ''She traps the leaf with the rake. The wind blows it away again.''
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' Oh! Oof!
| |
| | |
| ''She lunges and catches the leaf with her hands.''
| |
| | |
| ''Ladonna puts the leaf back on the pile and sits down beside a tree.''
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' (sighs)
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Hey! Nice pile.
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' Thanks.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' You look pretty beat. Want some help?
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' No, no, it's fine. I'll do a couple more piles, then I'll call it a day.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Okay... Well, I'll be over at the cider table if you want some help.
| |
| | |
| ''He leaves. The Tibbles run through Ladonna’s pile, scattering half of it.''
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' Uh!
| |
| | |
| ''Ladonna pushes her bike away from the Tibble house.''
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Later, Ladonna lies on her bed in her nightgown. There are still leaves in her hair.''
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' (snores)
| |
| | |
| ''In her dream, Bailey sits on a tractor in front of a barn. Francine, Muffy, Binky and Fern sit in a trailer in the back.''
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Where is she?
| |
| | |
| '''Muffy:''' This is so rude.
| |
| | |
| '''Fern:''' You think this is bad? I invited her to craft class and she left in the middle.
| |
| | |
| '''Binky:''' Well, she threw a pie at me! Although it was delicious.
| |
| | |
| '''Muffy:''' That's it! I'm tired of waiting for her. Bailey, you may proceed.
| |
| | |
| ''Bailey drives off. Ladonna runs after them.''
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' Wait! Wait for me! I'm sorry! I woke up late! I got here soon as I could, but...
| |
| | |
| ''The others give her angry looks as they drive away. Leaves blow around Ladonna and spin her around in a tornado. She looks dizzy.''
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' Oh...
| |
| | |
| ''A giant Frank the Gourd Person walks towards her.''
| |
| | |
| '''Frank:''' Urgh! You...never...finished....me!
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' Oh!
| |
| | |
| '''Frank:''' (roars)
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' (screams)
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''The dream ends. Ladonna wakes up in bed the next morning. The leaves are gone from her hair.''
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' Ah! (sighs) ''She looks at her watch.'' (gasps)
| |
| | |
| ''Bud sits on a chair beside the bed.''
| |
| | |
| '''Bud:''' Relax! You already missed the hay ride. I went, though. It was pretty fun.
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' Why didn't you wake me?
| |
| | |
| '''Bud:''' Cause Mom said you needed to rest after yesterday.
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' Was everybody mad at me?
| |
| | |
| '''Bud:''' I don't know. Why don't you ask Arthur? He was there. And he's on the porch now.
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' (gasps)
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur sits outside the Compsons’ house reading a book. Ladonna comes out.''
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I overslept and...
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' What are you sorry for?
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' Because I missed the hay ride, and I didn't stay for craft class, and I didn't pick enough apples, and I ruined the pie, and I made you rake my leaves. Isn't everybody angry at me?
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' No. I just came by to see if you wanted to go on a walk.
| |
| | |
| ''Ladonna smiles.''
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Ladonna and Arthur walk down the street.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Don't worry about it. I bite off more than I can chew all the time. Everyone does.
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' I know, I just... I guess I just want everyone to like me.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' They do! That's why everyone invited you to their favorite fall activity. But most of all, they just want you to enjoy your first fall up here.
| |
| | |
| ''He picks up a leaf. Ladonna’s watch beeps.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' What do you have to go to now?
| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna:''' I haven't the faintest idea. But whatever it is, I'm not going. Hey, can I have that leaf? That's a great one. I'm starting a scrapbook and everything's gonna be in it, I mean, everything! Like this moment right now...
