Day Off By Marshall Cunningham
INT. GRANT’S ROOM - EARLY MORNING Opens on a TV playing Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. It’s on the final scene of Ferris lying on the bed. FERRIS I said it once and I’ll say it again: Life moves pretty fast. You don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. The screen fades to black, “Oh Yeah” by Yello plays, and the face of GRANT WALKER is seen in the reflection of the TV. He has brown, disheveled hair and is dressed in a high school bowling T-shirt and Star Wars pajama pants. His mouth is agape. GRANT (In awe) That’s it...that’s it! Grant pops up from his seat and darts over to his desk. On the way, he passes by trinkets on his walls and shelves. He goes by group pictures of his AV club over the years, awards for Quiz Bowl and bowling, and a whole wall covered in polaroids from his school’s plays over the years. He sits down at the computer and throws on his headset.
