NO WINNERS
​
INT. BALLROOM NIGHT
down angle on Rollo continuing over
SHIRL, who collapsed in a limp, half conscious exhaustion on the floor. SAILOR huddles over her.
​
ROLLO:
...Three ... Four...
​
SAILOR:
Don´t! Give ´er a chance! She´l glet up. (trugging her)
Close down shot on SHIRL, she lies still huddled like a wounded thing that has finally been run to ground. Her eyes are glazed and tick -lidded, as she stares up toward Sailor and Rollo. Her lips move - but no words form...no sound emerges.
​
(SAILOR and ROLLO speak together)
​
SAILOR:
...try, Shirl! ...Try!...
​
ROLLO:
...Eight ... Nine...
​
New angle on scene, SHIRL try to cling feebly to SAILORS HANDS as ROLLO ´s extended finger SLASHES INTO FRAME.
​
ROLLO:
...TEN!!
​
ANGLE WIDENS as the DOCTOR and one of nurses push throught and start helping SHIRL up.
​
ROCKY signal the BAND, wich segues into "TILL WE MEET AGAIN".
​
ROCKY:
Miss SHIRLEY CLAYTON, We´re gonna miss you, Shirl! Isn´t that right, folks?

SO LONG SAILOR
​
INT. BALLROOM NIGHT - ON ROCKY
weawe a reassuring hand to the audience..
​
ROCKY:
...Look like our ancient mariner may have taken a little spill. But nothing to worry about.
​
CLOSE ANGLE ON DOCTOR AND SAILOR
as the DOCTOR injects the hypo of adrenalin into SAILOR.
A beat... then SAILOR´ s body moves slightly.
​
ANGLE ON ROCKY
ROCKY:
...Get him out of here. The back way!!
​
ANGLE WIDENS as the DOCTOR and one of nurses lifting the still inconscious and now blanket-covered Sailor on a stretcher and starting to move off with him through the parting onlookers.
Rocky turns back to the mike. He smiles:
​
ROCKY:
...Message from the Doctor: just a little touch of heat prostration. Nothing serious.
...So long, Sailor, but we know, you´ll be back to see us...
​
The BAND starts playing "TILL WE MEET AGAIN".
