ACT ONE

SCENE ONE

FADE IN:

INT. BUNDY LIVING ROOM/KITCHEN - DAY

(KELLY AND BUD ENTER. BUD HOLDS A TIN CUP AND WEARS A SIGN THAT SAYS "BUNDY" AND UNDERNEATH IT READS
"PLEASE HELP US". KELLY HOLDS A SIGN WITH A PICTURE OF AL THAT READS, "THIS IS OUR FATHER. PLEASE
GIVE." THEY CROSS TO THE COUCH AND SIT)

KELLY	Well, what did we get?

BUD	Let's see.

(BUD TURNS THE CUP OVER AND DUMPS THE CONTENTS ON THE COFFEE TABLE)

BUD	A marble, a slug, and this quarter I got from the blind guy, when he turned to watch you bend
	over.

KELLY	Yeah, well, you know, it's amazing how he sensed I was doing that.

BUD	Right, Kell. Listen, there's got to be some money in this house. So, you just keep a good 
	look-out for Mom and Dad. I'm gonna go through their coat pockets.

(THEY GO TO THE CLOSET. KELLY KEEPS WATCH. BUD OPENS THE CLOSET DOOR. WE SEE PEGGY IN THE CLOSET GOING
THROUGH COAT POCKETS)

PEGGY	Hi, kids. I'm really glad you're here. Has anyone seen my iron?

(SHE COMES OUT OF THE CLOSET, JINGLING FROM CHANGE. THEY STARE AT HER)

KELLY	Mom. We've given up on getting food and guidance, but we need money.

PEGGY	Okay, kids. Here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna take this change and throw it up into the air.
	Whatever you can grab is yours. You ready? Okay.

(SHE REACHES INTO HER POCKET AND MIMES TOSSING CHANGE IN THE AIR. AS THE KIDS' EYES FOLLOW THE FAKE,
SHE STARTS OUT THE DOOR. THEY GRAB HER)

PEGGY	Get off me. Let go. It's mine.

(AL ENTERS FROM UPSTAIRS)

AL	Kids, stop playing with your mother for a minute. I was just up in the bathroom and I had an
	emotional experience.

PEGGY	You washed your hands this time?

AL	No.

(AL PLAYFULLY RUFFLES KELLY'S HAIR)

AL	Anyhow, I'd like to share something beautiful with you. I was up there watching my little
	TV and I saw that show that they call "The Eight Family" or something.

BUD	You mean "Eight Is Enough"?

AL	Yeah, that's the one. Anyway, the fat one they call Dad; he had this great idea where they all get
	together, and, uh... well, I don't really know what it was about. But the important thing is 
	they were all together and they did it as a family. Now, it made me think. See, we could do 
	more together. For instance, how much do we really know about each other? (TO BUD) Uh...

BUD	Bud.

AL	Right. Now, Bud, quick: When's Kelly's birthday?

BUD	It was yesterday, Dad.

AL	(TO KELLY) Gee, I'm sorry I missed it, honey.

PEGGY	Happy birthday, sweetheart.

AL	Okay, but we're getting away from the point of this family thing. Do you realize that we don't
	have a family picture?

PEGGY	Well, you know, we were gonna get one -

AL	Ah, we were always gonna. We were gonna get the picture. We were gonna take that vacation. We
	were gonna get the kids vaccinated. But something always came up. Not today. Today is going to
	be Bundy Family Fun Day. We are going to be the Four Family. The only question is, where are we
	gonna go?

SFX: DOORBELL

(PEGGY OPENS THE DOOR TO STEVE AND MARCY. THEY ARE DRESSED FOR THE BEACH)

PEGGY	Oh, hi, guys. Gee, you look great.

(SHE LOOKS AT AL AND THE KIDS. THE FOUR OF THEM LAUGH)

MARCY	And your house looks lovely.

(STEVE AND MARCY EXCHANGE A DISGUSTED LOOK)

MARCY	Anyhow, as you can see. Steve and I are going to the beach. It's a little tradition we have on
	the first sunny day in May, we always go to the beach to shake hands with Mr. Summer.

(STEVE PUTS HIS ARM AROUND MARCY)

PEGGY	Yes, our little summer tradition is watching Al sweat through his pants onto Mr. Couch.

STEVE	Well, you're lucky, Al. For you, every day can be summer. But I digress. We really didn't come
	over to throw our happiness in your face. Actually, I was wondering if you could do me a
	favor?

AL	What? Grab one of your wife's legs and make a wish?

(MARCY STARTS AT AL. STEVE HOLDS HER BACK)

STEVE	(TO MARCY) If you have chicken legs, call me Colonel Sanders.

MARCY	And ooh, baby, you do chicken right.

(THE BUNDYS REACT WITH DISGUST)

AL	Guys, I'll tell ya, if I had eaten something in the last forty eight hours, I'd be showin' you
	another little tradition I have. What do you want?

STEVE	Well, I had a little fender bender with a rather large gentleman... So I did what any thinking
	adult would do. I threw myself on the ground and screamed whiplash. Unfortunately, he and his
	carload of children did the same thing.

MARCY	You know, Steve, if I hadn't seen you do it before, I really would have believed your spine had
	snapped	like a twig.

(STEVE CHUCKLES)

STEVE	I had those kids going, didn't I? Anyhow, I, uh, I forgot my insurance card, so I put the
	information in this envelope for him, and I was wondering if I could tape it to your door.

PEGGY	Why our door?

STEVE	I pleaded poverty, and to prove it, I have him your address. Thanks, guys. (TO MARCY) Let's 
	beach it, babe.

(THEY EXIT)

AL	Y'know Peg. Steve just gave me a great idea. We're gonna have Bundy Day at the beach!

(BUD AND KELLY REACT WITH EXCITEMENT. PEGGY IS SNIFFING THE AIR)

AL	Peg, what are you doing?

PEGGY	There's a new odor in this house. Al -

(SHE GESTURES FOR HIM TO COME CLOSER AND SNIFFS HIM)

PEGGY	No. That's the old one. I think it's coming from this envelope.

(PEGGY GOES TO THE DOOR)

KELLY	Hey, I smell it, too, mom.

(KELLY JOINS PEGGY. AL AND BUD STARE AT EACH OTHER AND SHRUG. PEGGY SNIFFS THE ENVELOPE)

PEGGY	It's money. But I don't recognize the denomination.

KELLY	Well, then it means that it's more than five. Hey, I hope it's a G-spot.

PEGGY	Honey, that's a ten spot.

(SHE RIPS OPEN THE ENVELOPE REVERENTLY)

PEGGY	A hundred dollar bill. Gee, the nerve of that Steve. He didn't trust us enough to tell us
	there was money in that envelope. Y'know, I am really hurt.

(SHE PUTS THE MONEY IN HER BRA)

AL	Kids, now I don't want you to think that everyone is as dishonest as Steve. So to show you that
	honesty is the only way, we're going to take Steve's money -

(AL LIFTS THE BILL FROM PEGGY's BRA)

AL	- and leave a note for that guy, telling him exactly where to find Steve. (LAUGHS) What a day!
	We're gonna have Bundy Day at the beach, we're gonna get a nice picture like that Eight Family,
	and then (TO PEGGY) we're going to dinner!

(THE KIDS CHEER)

AL	What, you're hungry too? (THEN) Ah, what the hell. Everybody eats!

(THEY CROWD AROUND AL HAPPILY)

DISSOLVE TO:


ACT ONE

SCENE TWO

INT. ANZIO BEACH - DAY

(TWO KIDS ARE PUTTING THE FINISHING TOUCHES ON A SAND CASTLE BY THE PUBLIC BATHROOM. PROUDLY THEY DASH
AWAY TO TELL THEIR PARENTS)

KID #1	Dad, look what we did!

(AL, PEGGY, KELLY AND BUD ENTER THE BEACH AREA LOADED DOWN WITH BEACH STUFF. EVERYONE IS WEARING BEACH
ATTIRE. AL DUMPS HIS LOAD RIGHT ON THE SAND CASTLE, COMPLETELY DEMOLISHING IT)

AL	Well, we're here.

(AL AND PEGGY START TO LAY OUT THEIR BLANKETS. THEY SMOOTH OUT THE SAND CASTLE. BUD GREASES UP)

BUD	Well, Kell. Do I spell 'man' or what?

KELLY	Well, if you connect your zits, you might. Well, either that or 'Mississippi'.

BUD	C'mere, Kell.

(HE PUTS HIS EAR TO HER EAR)

BUD	Yep. I hear the ocean.

(SHE REACTS)

BUD	Well, I'm buffed and ready. I'm gonna go find me a babe.

KELLY	You couldn't find a woman in a gynecologist's office.

BUD	Oh, yeah? Five bucks says I get a squeeze before you.

KELLY	You're on. 

(THEY SHAKE PINKIES)

BUD	It's a sucker bet, Kell. 'Cause unlike the dances at school, this time I get to take my top
	off.

(BUD WALKS OFF. KELLY TAKES OFF HER JACKET TO REVEAL HER BIKINI AND ALSO WALKS OFF. AL TURNS BACK WITH 
THE CAMERA)

AL	Okay, everybody. Let's get together for the picture. Kids? Damn. I could have taken that 
	picture and been home already.

PEGGY	Honey, take a picture of me, so you can remember me when I was beautiful.

AL	(FRIGHTENED) What, you're gonna get worse?

PEGGY	Shut up and take the picture.

(SHE STRIKES A POSE. A BEAUTIFUL GIRL PASSES ON ONE SIDE AND A MUSCLE BOUND MAN PASSES ON THE OTHER.
AL POINTS AND CLICKS THE CAMERA AT THE BEAUTIFUL GIRL AS PEGGY TURNS TO EYE THE MUSCLE BOUND MAN.
PEGGY AND AL FACE EACH OTHER AT THE SAME TIME)

PEGGY	Did you get it?

AL	Got it.

(AL TAKES OFF HIS SHIRT. A HEAVY WOMAN, BETSY, SITS NEARBY)

BETSY	(TO AL) Hey, you're in my sun. I'm trying to get an all over tan.

AL	You're asking a lot of the sun.

(SHE REACTS AND EXITS)

PEGGY	Okay, honey. Let's get comfortable.

(AL AND PEGGY LAUNCH INTO A SEEMINGLY WELL REHEARSED RITUAL. AL SITS IN HIS BEACH CHAIR, LEGS
STRETCHED LAKEWARD, ARMS HELD OUT TO HIS SIDES AS PEGGY COLLECTS VARIOUS OINTMENTS, POWDERS, AND
SPRAYS)

PEGGY	Foot powder.

(PEGGY SPRINKLES FOOT POWDER ON AL'S FEET)

PEGGY	Binaca.

(AL OPENS HIS MOUTH. PEGGY GIVES HIM A SHOT OF BINACA)

PEGGY	Deodorant.

(AL RAISES HIS ARMS. PEGGY SPRAYS EACH PIT)

PEGGY	Zinc oxide.

(PEGGY PUTS A DAB ON AL'S NOSE)

PEGGY	Bug spray.

(PEGGY GIVES AL A ONCE OVER, SPRAYING HIM FROM HEAD TO TOE)

PEGGY	Okay. Here's a little something for you to read...

(SHE TAKES HIS PORTABLE TV AND SETS IT RIGHT BETWEEN HIS LEGS. AL IS A HAPPY MAN)

PEGGY	Honey, will you put oil on me?

AL	Leave me alone.

(A BEAUTIFUL GIRL, SANDY, WALKS BY)

SANDY	(TO AL) Excuse me. Would you mind putting some oil on my back?

AL	I'd be honored.

(HE STARTS TO GET UP)

PEGGY	Hey, Al. Look at this.

(PEGGY AIMS A REFLECTOR AT AL'S FACE. HE YELPS AND SITS BACK DOWN)

PEGGY	(TO GIRL) I'm sorry. He can't right now. He's blind.

SANDY	Really? Wait till I tell my friends I made a blind man drool.

(SHE EXITS)

PEGGY	(SWEETLY) You okay, honey?

AL	Peachie. 

(BEAT)

PEGGY	Al? Let's make out.

(AL LOOKS AT PEGGY AND THEY BOTH LAUGH)

SCENE ONE

FADE IN:

INT. ANZIO BEACH - DAY

(BUD THROWS A FOOTBALL TO HIMSELF. HE MAKES A DIVING CATCH, LANDING ON THE SAND RIGHT NEXT TO TWO
PRETTY GIRLS, WANDA AND WENDY, WHO ARE BUD'S AGE)

BUD	(CALLING OFF) Hey, nice throw Chip! (THEN) Oh, excuse me there, girls. I didn't notice you 
	there. So babes... it's nice to meet some cool chicks on a hot day. My name is Bud. Heh, heh, 
	heh.

WENDY	Hey, Bud, there's a fly drowning in the oil on what will someday be your chest.

(BEAT)

BUD	(CALLS OUT) Bud, go long.

(BUD THROWS THE BALL AND GOES TO CATCH IT)

ANGLE ON: KELLY

KELLY	Hmm. Let's see. Who should I make the lucky recipient of what's behind bikini number one.

(SHE SPOTS A GUY)

KELLY	Lifeguard! Help! Help!

(THE LIFEGUARD RUNS OVER TO KELLY)

LIFEGUA	What's wrong?

KELLY	I feel sad every time I see an empty spot behind a rock. Would you join me?

(HE LOOKS INTERESTED)

WOMAN	(O.S.) Help! Help!

(THE LIFEGUARD HESITATES FOR A MOMENT, THEN SIGHS AND RUNS OFF)

KELLY	If they can't swim, why do they come to the beach?

ANGLE ON: AL AND PEGGY

(PEGGY IS ASLEEP ON HER BACK. AL SIPS A BEER, THEN PUTS THE CAN ON A TRAY THAT SITS ON PEGGY'S
STOMACH. HE PUTS HIS HAND DOWN HIS TRUNKS AND SIGHS. A PRETTY WOMAN ABOUT AL'S AGE, MARILYN, AND HER
TWO YOUNG KIDS (SIX AND SEVEN YEARS OLD) BEGIN TO UNLOAD THEIR STUFF RIGHT NEXT TO AL AND PEGGY. AL
PUTS A HAT OVER HIS FACE. MARILYN SEES AL)

MARILYN	I know that hand. Al... Al Bundy?

(AL LOOKS UP)

MARILYN	Well, don't you recognize me?

AL	Marilyn Beamis? It's been a lot of years.

MARILYN	It sure has. You still look great, Al. You work out a lot?

AL	No, barely eat. Whatcha been up to?

MARILYN	Well, I got married; got divorced; had a couple of kids. In that order. 

(THE KIDS START TO BURY PEGGY'S BODY IN THE SAND)

AL	Uh, kids, listen. Be careful there. Don't get any sand in the beer.

MARILYN	Y'know, I think a lot about you, Al. Remember those nights at the drive-in? You used to hide me
	in the trunk of the car to save that dollar. And then it'd be right from the trunk into the 
	back seat. Remember, Al? 

(AL CHUCKLES UNEASILY AND WAVES HIS HAND IN FRONT OF PEGGY'S FACE TO MAKE SURE THAT SHE'S ASLEEP)

AL	Yeah, those were the good old days.

MARILYN	It's a nice day, isn't it, Al?

AL	Yeah.

MARILYN	Al, would you do me a small favor? Will you make love to me right here right now?

AL	Well, uh, see, I'm married.

MARILYN	Well, I don't care.

AL	Well, she's right here. (INDICATES PEGGY)

MARILYN	I don't care. It'll make it more exciting. Well, I'll send the kids away if you want.

(AL CHUCKLES UNEASILY AND WAVES AT THE KIDS)

AL	Yeah, Marilyn, you always were one that would go that extra mile, but, uh, I don't want this 
	to get out, but, see, I really kinda like my family. I don't think it would be right. Now,
	don't feel insulted or anything. I'd say the same thing to my wife if she asked for sex.

MARILYN	That's too bad, Al. 'Cause you are, and always will be the one man for me.

(SEES SOMEONE O.S.)

MARILYN	Gary? Gary Cain? You still look great. You work out a lot? C'mon, kids. That's a real gold
	chain he's wearing.

(THEY GO OVER TO GARY)

AL	Ah, I hate the beach.

ANGLE ON:

(MARCY ON A BLANKET. SHE WATCHES A HUNKY GUY GO BY)

MARCY	Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Beach blanket bingo over here, babycakes.

(SHE SEES STEVE O.S. AND GETS UP TO TOWEL HIM)

MARCY	Oh, hi, honey. How was your swim?

(STEVE ENTERS. HE PICKS TRASH OFF HIS BODY, AND PULLS A SIX PACK PLASTIC RING FROM HIS TRUNKS)

STEVE	Well, the water's a little polluted, but envigorating.

MARCY	Steve, you know, I just couldn't take my eyes off you as you emerged from the water.

(THE HUNKY GUY WALKS BY AGAIN. SHE SNEAKS A LOOK)

MARCY	The sun glistening off your powerful arms, your blonde, uh, dark hair framing your
	powerful shoulders. You move with the easy grace of a jungle cat.

(MARCY PURRS)

STEVE	Well, y'know, my parents toyed with the idea of naming me Tiger. But then the yellow went away
	and they went with Steve. 

(THEY SETTLE DOWN ON THEIR BLANKET)

STEVE	God, it's a beautiful day, isn't it?

MARCY	Yes. And a perfect spot. Mother Nature, this one's for you.

(SHE MAKES A TOASTING GESTURE. A BIRD PLOPS DOWN FROM THE SKY, DEAD ON THEIR BLANKET. MARCY SCREAMS)

ANGLE ON: BUD

(BUD IS TALKING TO A FOURTEEN YEAR OLD GIRL)

JILL	With you?! Ugh.

(BUD TURNS AWAY, HUMILIATED. HE STARTS WALKING AWAY AND COMES ACROSS TINA, A CUTE SEVEN YEAR
OLD SITTING IN THE SAND NEXT TO A PLASTIC SAND PAIL)

TINA	My bucket is broken.

BUD	Take it easy. I'll fix it for ya.

(BUD TAKES THE PAIL AND FIXES THE HANDLE. TINA IMMEDIATELY STOPS CRYING. SHE KISSES
BUD ON THE CHEEK)

TINA	Thanks. You're my boyfriend.

BUD	(UNENTHUSIASTIC) Great.

(BUD SEES A CUTE GIRL, LUCY, PASS)

BUD	Excuse me.

(HE CATCHES UP WITH HER)

BUD	Hi, there. I'm Bud. Bud Bon Jovi. We're doing a rock video for MTV and I think you just got 
	lucky.

LUCY	(BUYING IT) Really? I'd do anything to be in a rock video.

(SHE RUNS HER FINGERS ALONG BUD'S ARM)

BUD	And so you shall.

TINA	Boyfriend?

(BUD LOOKS DOWN AND THERE'S TINA TUGGING AT HIS TRUNKS)

LUCY	Aren't you cute?

TINA	(BELLIGERENT) He's mine!

(TINA DOUSES LUCY WITH WATER FROM HER PAIL)

LUCY	(TO BUD, INDIGNANT) How dare you!

(LUCY SLAPS BUD AND WALKS OFF. TINA LAYS HER TINY HEAD ON HIS ARM)

TINA	I love you, boyfriend. Want to play?

(A PRETTY GIRL, LUANA, WALKS UP)

LUANA	(TO BUD) Hi, cutie. Do you have the time?

TINA	Not for you, tramp.

(SHE TOSSES A BUCKET OF WATER ON LUANA)

LUANA	(TO BUD, INDIGNANT) How dare you!

(LUANA SLAPS BUD AND WALKS OFF. TINA SMILES SWEETLY AT BUD. BUD REACTS AS WE:)

CUT TO:

ANGLE ON: KELLY

(KELLY IS TALKING TO CHRIS AS SHE PUTS OIL ON HIS BACK)

KELLY	Boring? Are you kidding? You're one of the most interesting guys I've ever met. So, tell me 
	more about your life's work?

CHRIS	Well, my quest for the perfect tan started when I was only twelve. I came from a poor family 
	who couldn't afford a tan.

KELLY	Wow. You've overcome so much.

(KELLY ROLLS HER EYES)

ANGLE ON: BUD

(HE AND TINA ARE MAKING A SAND CASTLE)

TINA	I love you.

(BUD LOOKS OVER AT KELLY AND CHRIS)

BUD	I give up. Look, I've gotta go over and talk to this girl... don't worry, she's my sister.

TINA	Can I come with you, boyfriend?

BUD	(DEFEATED) Do I have a choice?

TINA	No.

BUD	It's like I'm married.

(THEY START OVER TO KELLY)

CUT TO:

ANGLE ON: KELLY

(CHRIS IS LAYING ON THE SAND WITH HIS HEAD IN KELLY'S LAP. SHE'S FONDLING HIS HAIR. A BEACH BOY PASSES)

BEACH B	Hey, Kell! Wanna go for a Slurpy?!

(SHE LOOKS AT CHRIS, THEN)

KELLY	Got one.

(THE BEACH BOY SHRUGS AND CONTINUES DOWN THE BEACH)

KELLY	So, Chris, you wanna take me for a ride in your 'Vette?

CHRIS	I don't really feel like it.

(MARK, A GOOD LOOKING, WELL TANNED TEENAGER, JOGS OVER TO KELLY AND CHRIS)

MARK	Hey, Chris! Wanna take me for a ride in your 'Vette?

CHRIS	(GETTING UP, EXCITED) Sure!

(CHRIS AND MARK EXIT ARM IN ARM. KELLY REACTS. BUD AND TINA COME OVER)

BUD	Gee. Alone, Kel?

KELLY	Yeah. Neither of us did any good today. I guess the bet is off.

BUD	Yeah.

TINA	He's my boyfriend.

(BEAT, THEN BUD STICKS HIS HAND OUT)

ANGLE ON: STEVE AND MARCY

(THEY'RE SOAKING UP THE SUN. STEVE CHUCKLES TO HIMSELF. MARCY STARTS SMILING)

MARCY	What, Steve? What?

STEVE	I was just thinking about that moron I smacked into today. I mean, he saw our Mercedes and yet
	he thought we were as poor as he was. He was willing to take a hundred bucks. Did you see the
	fluids gushing out of the botton of his car? A hundred bucks.

(THEY LAUGH)

STEVE	I kill me.

(THE LIFEGUARD COMES OVER. HE CARRIES A STEERING WHEEL)

LIFEGUA	Excuse me. Is this your Mercedes?

MARCY	Oh, Steve. I'd recognize it anywhere. It's part of Klaus.

(STEVE SITS UP ABRUPTLY AND EXAMINES THE STEERING WHEEL)

LIFEGUA	By the way, the guy with the sledgehammer said your note, "Gone to the beach. Hah, hah, loser,"
	doesn't quite cover his damage. Have a nice day. And swim with a buddy.

(STEVE HUGS THE STEERING WHEEL AND STARTS TO WEEP. MARCY TRIES TO CONSOLE HIM, BUT HE TURNS AWAY FROM 
HER)

ANGLE ON: AL AND PEGGY

(AL IS PLAYING WITH HIS BELLYBUTTON)

AL	(MUTTERS) One stinkin' family picture with my stinkin' family. That's all I wanted. But nope.
	Too much for you, Bundy.

(PEGGY WAKES UP AND SITS UP)

PEGGY	Oh, hi, honey. Gee, I guess I fell asleep.

AL	I know.

PEGGY	I was kinda hoping we could go swimming together.

AL	I know.

PEGGY	And you know, if you would have even laid a hand on that Marilyn, I would have killed you.

AL	I know. I thought you were sleeping.

PEGGY	Oh, honey. You know I can't sleep without my knee in your back. But you know, Al, that was very
	sweet, what you said about liking your family. Of course, it would have been sweeter if you'd 
	said that after	your wife, you were ruined for all other women.

AL	Well, that's actually true.

(KELLY AND BUD ENTER WITH TINA)

BUD	Well, we're ready to go.

PEGGY	Hey, wait a minute. What happened here? Another kid. How long was I asleep?

KELLY	It's Bud's squeeze.

AL	We're gonna have to have little talk, me and you, young man. But not right now. Right now I want a picture.
        Kids, go over there behind your mother. Little girl, little girl. Could you stand over there and take
	our picture?

(AL GIVES HER THE CAMERA AND KNEELS BEHIND BUD AND KELLY)

AL	Alright. Now, pretend we're not going home together.

(EVERYONE SMILES)

AL	Oh, man. Just the picture I always wanted.

(TINA SNAPS THE PICTURE. WE SEE THE PICTURE IN A NICE FRAME. EVERYONE LOOKS FINE EXCEPT AL'S HEAD IS
CUT OFF)
