               What are you talking about?!  It's
               the premise of the movie.  It's even
               the title, for Christ's sake! Ed is quite upset.

     Ed rolls his eyes.  He turns back to the movie. Ed randomly grabs a script off the messy floor, then glances
     down, to see which one he picked up.  It says "Graverobbers
     From Outer Space." Ed grins maniacally.  He grabs a SMALL REEL of 35mm film.

                             ED
               Yes, but I've got the last footage

     inside.  Then he notices a framed one-sheet for "BRIDE OF THE
     MONSTER."  Reynolds admires it. ED
               Yeah.  You pull the strings --

     Ed quickly starts typing again. Ed writes it out, "DR. ACULA," then waves it in Feldman's face.
     Feldman nods. She hands Ed her white shoes.  He snatches one, grabs a pair of
     scissors, and starts CUTTING up the shoe.  Everyone is baffled. Latin horns blast onstage of this hopping '5Os nightclub.

     hurries out.  Bunny is a wealthy, theatrical fop wearing a

               And you should come with me. KATHY
               What was that?

                       (quiet)
               Bela died.

                                                    CUT TO: It's an incredible performance of crowning tragedy.  Bela is
     totally drained.

     strapped to the bed and SCREAMING in pain.  He is going through
     painful withdrawal and shakes horribly. Bela stares after him, then absent-mindedly searches through
     his pockets.  Finally, he finds what he's looking for -- a Bela appears, in his little suit.  In the last footage he ever
     shot, he shuffles around in front of his house, then tenderly
     smells the flower.

     ON ED Bela smells the flower, then abruptly drops it.  He starts
     crying.  A pause, and then he composes himself.  The old man
     slowly shuffles out of frame. Bela nods.  He mulls this over. Bela is furious. BELA
                       (he shakes his hand)
               Certainly.  But now the children
               of the night are calling me.

     Bela smiles and steps inside.  The door closes. BELA
               Most people in this country, they
               know nothing, about Eastern mysticism.
               They are afraid of it.

               hope. BELA
               I envied him.
                       (he chuckles)
               Hell, I envied you too, having a
               girlfriend that would jump in front
               of a car like that. ED
               Bela, wake up.

     Bela stirs lethargically.  Ed puts on a fake smile. BELA
               Morphine, with a demerol chaser.
                       (he starts crying)
               Eddie, I'm so broke.  I don't know
               what I'm gonna do... Bela's heart is racing.  He zig-zags past ancient crypts.
     Gargoyles peer down.  The wind howls through the skeletal
     trees, silhouetted against the cloudy sky. BELA
               The pure horror, it both repels and
               attracts them.  Because in their
               collective unconsciousness, they have
               the agony of childbirth.  The blood.
               The blood is horror.
ED
               I do.

               wife.

     Ed kisses Norma. She turns and walks away.  Ed is crushed.  He stands
     motionless, in his dress, in the dark.

                                                    CUT TO: Ed's mind is working.  He holds out the paper and stares at
     it.  Suddenly, he grins.  He grabs the pen and makes a period
     after the "DR."  It now says "DR.ACULA" ED
               Let's get married.

               Don't worry, I'll teach you.

     He helps her remove her wedding dress.  She is very shy. KATHY
               Oh.  Congratulations.

                             ED
               The marriage already ended.

                             KATHY
               Oh.  My condolences. LATER

     The wedding is in progress.  The crowd is seated.  A MINISTER
     performs the ceremony with Ed and Norma. Ed is pleased as punch.  He whispers to the Baptists.

                             ED
               Isn't it wonderful?  Bela lives! Ed runs out after her.

                             ED
               Please, be compassionate.  I'm your
               husband! ED
               Norma.  She changed her mind.  She
               doesn't wanna marry me.
                       (beat)
               Can you put down the gun?

     Bela weakly lowers the gun. Ed stares at the door, dazed by all that's happened.  He sits
     down in a chair, exhausted.

     Ed's eyes slowly close, and he falls asleep... ED
               Hello.

                             KATHY
               Hello.
                       (beat)
               You're sleeping in a tuxedo.

                             ED
               I got married last night. The crowd is stunned.

     Many people DROP their glasses.

     Ed proudly pulls out Norma.  She's in a wedding gown. She stands up, dramatically takes off her angora sweater, and
     gives it to Ed.

     He holds it meaningfully, then smiles proudly. AT THE ALTAR

     The Minister is speaking to Ed.

                             MINISTER
               ...in sickness and in health, till
               death do you part? ED
               I know... But sometimes I get scared
               this is as good as it's gonna get...

     Dolores kisses Ed affectionately. Ed sashays up to Bela and dances a few steps with him.  The
     music is building to a climax.  Ed hurries off to center stage ED
               Okay.  Then you'll be sitting on the
               <u>left</u>.

     Ed turns to Tor and Loretta.  She wears a wedding gown. Ed and Norma jump into his Nash.  It says "Just Married" and is
     festooned with dangling tin cans.  The car screeches away.  The Ed smiles proudly.  Kathy kisses him.  Ed runs down front, hugs
     Criswell, then takes the microphone.
ED
               Exactly.
                       (he takes her hand)
               So what do ya say?  Do you wanna
               break up... or do you wanna do the
               movie with me?

     Dolores sighs. ED
               Dolores, wait!

                             DOLORES
               Ed, it's over.  I need a normal life. Ed hangs up and YELPS excitedly.  He kisses Dolores.  She pulls
     away. DOLORES
               But Ed, we're not even married.  And
               you don't have a job. Dolores is crying and screaming angrily.  Ed ducks the objects
     she hurls at him.

                             ED
               It was the only way I could get the
               movie made! DOLORES
               Jesus Christ!  And you never told me?

                             ED
               This is my way of telling you -- The group is shocked.  Nobody speaks.

     Dolores runs out of the party.

     Ed just stands, dumbstruck.  Then he chases after her, in his
     high heels and dress. ED
               Please, come back!

     Ed sighs.

               All I wanna do is tell stories.  The
               things I find interesting... ED
               But I thought me and Dolores had
               something.

               you wish. Ed and Dolores are being evicted.  Their belongings are
     scattered in front.  They bitterly carry furniture out of the
     house.  Ed stumbles and slurs his speech.  He is <u>drunk</u>. INT. DOLORES' APARTMENT - LATE NIGHT

     Ed and Dolores lie in bed, in the dark.  He stares vulnerably
     at her. DOLORES
               Ed... I just stuck it out so you
               could finish your movie.

               Now that it's done, so am I. EXT. MEAT PACKING PLANT - SAME TIME

     Dolores runs across the parking lot, in tears.  Ed catches up
     with her. ED
               I know... But sometimes I get scared
               this is as good as it's gonna get...

     Dolores kisses Ed affectionately. Ed runs over.  Dolores is beautifully made-up, and wearing a
     furry angora sweater.  Ed speaks, awkwardly. LORETTA (as Janet Lawton)
               "Thanks."

     Loretta runs out.  Dolores just stands there.  We HEAR Ed:
     "CUT!  PERFECT!" INT. ED'S HOUSE - DAY

     Dolores tries to cheer up gloomy Ed.  He's wearing angora.

                             ED

     same banner is hanging: "BRIDE OF THE ATOM -- NEXT YEAR'S SMASH

               Didn't you just make one called
               "Bride Of The Atom"? Ed randomly grabs a script off the messy floor, then glances
     down, to see which one he picked up.  It says "Graverobbers
     From Outer Space." Ed writes it out, "DR. ACULA," then waves it in Feldman's face.
     Feldman nods. The crowd is stunned.

     Many people DROP their glasses.

     Ed proudly pulls out Norma.  She's in a wedding gown. CRISWELL

     Ed quickly starts typing again. Ed perks up.  She's a live one!

     Ed pulls a script from his briefcase and hands it to her.
Hundreds of KIDS and TEENAGERS enter a dilapidated second-run
     theater.  A banner says "'Bride Of The Monster' World Premiere!

     The backers glance into the next room.  Ed is in front of

     Ed thinks.  He quickly puts a spin on this. DOLORES
               That's ridiculous.

     Ed sighs.

     A nervous silence.  Until Bela speaks. He starts at Kathy in wonder.  He is overcome.

     Their car SMASHES through the tin exit doors.

     rubs it against his face.  His breathing slows. She turns and walks away.  Ed is crushed.  He stands
     motionless, in his dress, in the dark.

     asleep in bed, unshaven, in the middle of the day. The wind is blowing.  Ed's Nash roars up, and he jumps out, a
     coat over his pajamas.  He runs up and POUNDS on Bela's door. Tor starts to tie Loretta down, then gets distracted by a piece
     of angora hooked to his waist.  He rubs it lovingly, calmed,
     then suddenly refuses. BELA

     Vampira's jaw drops in recognition. Ed and Bela run toward us, Bela's cape flapping in the wind.
     Ed takes a swig from Bela's flask.  They're a bit tipsy. Ed shoots the famous flying saucers.  Paul holds a paper plate
     and Conrad lights it on fire.

     The "saucer" soars on fishing line over a little miniature
     town. Ed despondently approaches Bela's.  Inside, a light glows, and
     the dogs BARK.

     Ed is relieved.  Bela's awake.  He BANGS on the door. They shuffle away... until Criswell and his snazzy ENTOURAGE
     burst around a corner.  Even in person, Criswell is ethereal
     and quite self-important.  He is delighted to see Bela. They march obliviously past Ed.  He watches them go, then
     continues.  Ed reaches a building, "HOLLYWOOD MORTUARY," and
     glances in the window.  A pause, then he does a doubletake. Ed rounds up Bela, Tor, Criswell, and Vampira.

     The crowd BOOS louder.  Blind Tor is totally confused.

                             TOR
               What is happening? BUNNY
               "Plan Nine..."
                       (he consults his papers)
               "Ah yes.  Plan Nine deals with the
               resurrection of the dead." Ed's disoriented cast and crew stand in the street.  Bela, Tor,
     and Loretta are still in costume.

     Ed looks totally dazed.  He blinks in the bright sunlight. The doors open, and Ed's pal JOHN "BUNNY" BRECKINRIDGE, 45,
     hurries out.  Bunny is a wealthy, theatrical fop wearing a
     string of pearls. Ed sits in a chaise lounge by the pool, studying papers and
     drinking shots of whiskey.  He's in a woman's pantsuit and
     fuzzy slippers.  Dolores marches out. Bela strides out.

     EXT. HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD - SAME TIME

     Bela hurries along.  Ed chases after him. Ed chucks the megaphone and runs crazily past the camera and
     behind a building.

                             ED'S VOICE
               And -- ACTION!
The sets are being erected for "Bride Of The Atom"!  The crew
     hurries about the small stage, as Ed energetically supervises.
     He has a large band-aid on his head. "Bride Of The Atom" is back in production!  Ed's stock company
     is reunited.  People drink coffee and gossip. ED
               So anyway, I've got this new script,
               "Bride Of The Atom," and there's a ED
               You're shooting "Bride Of The Atom."

               Who's <u>he</u>?

                             REVEREND LEMON
               This is our choir director.  He's
               gonna play the young hero. Ed's disoriented cast and crew stand in the street.  Bela, Tor,
     and Loretta are still in costume.

     Ed looks totally dazed.  He blinks in the bright sunlight. named Dolores Fuller.  The title is
               "Bride Of The Atom." Someone changes the record.  Brassy STRIPPER MUSIC begins.

     A door opens, and Ed struts out, in full gaudy drag. The crowd is stunned.

     Many people DROP their glasses.

     Ed proudly pulls out Norma.  She's in a wedding gown. Ed perks up.  She's a live one!

     Ed pulls a script from his briefcase and hands it to her. Dolores is appalled.

     Ed shimmies to the music, blowing kisses all around.  He sees
     Vampira and waves.

     Vampira's jaw drops in recognition. The crew members put down their things and gather in a circle.
     In the middle, we reveal Ed, in complete drag.  Dress, nylons, Ed smiles proudly.  Kathy kisses him.  Ed runs down front, hugs
     Criswell, then takes the microphone. Ed rounds up Bela, Tor, Criswell, and Vampira.

     The crowd BOOS louder.  Blind Tor is totally confused.

                             TOR
               What is happening? ED
               Okay.  Then you'll be sitting on the
               <u>left</u>.

     Ed turns to Tor and Loretta.  She wears a wedding gown. Ed is quite upset.

                             ED
               But I'm proud.  I wrote, directed,
               and starred in it just like Orson
               Welles in "Citizen Kane"! Latin horns blast onstage of this hopping '5Os nightclub.
     Cigarette girls roam about.  Seated at a front table is Ed, Ed runs over.  Dolores is beautifully made-up, and wearing a
     furry angora sweater.  Ed speaks, awkwardly. BACK AT THE PARTY

     The backers glance into the next room.  Ed is in front of
     Vampira, begging on his hands and knees. ED
                       (in a frenzy)
               Yeah, well we've GOT a big star!
               Bela Lugosi!!
The sets are being erected for "Bride Of The Atom"!  The crew
     hurries about the small stage, as Ed energetically supervises.
     He has a large band-aid on his head. ED
               Was I wrong to cast Loretta?

                             BELA
               Bad decisions are easy to live with.
               Forget.  Just keep looking forward. "Bride Of The Atom" is back in production!  Ed's stock company
     is reunited.  People drink coffee and gossip. ED
               So anyway, I've got this new script,

               "Bride Of The Atom." We're at a fancy outdoor brunch.  Ed is shaking hands with
     pretty LORETTA KING, 25, a pale brunette in a classy dress. ED
               Okay.  Then you'll be sitting on the
               <u>left</u>.

     Ed turns to Tor and Loretta.  She wears a wedding gown. Bela does his patented hypnotic arm wave.  He actually has a
     powerful intensity.  Loretta staggers in, eyes glazed.  Like a
     zombie, she climbs onto the operating table. The crowd is stunned.

     Many people DROP their glasses.

     Ed proudly pulls out Norma.  She's in a wedding gown. ED
                       (baffled)
               Who's <u>he</u>?

                             REVEREND LEMON
               This is our choir director.  He's
               gonna play the young hero. In the f.g., Ed introduces Dolores to a SOUTHERN BACKER.

                             ED
               And this is lovely starlet Dolores
               Fuller, who will play Janet Lawton. LORETTA (as Janet Lawton)
               "Thanks."

     Loretta runs out.  Dolores just stands there.  We HEAR Ed:
     "CUT!  PERFECT!" VAMPIRA
               At this hour?
                       (she takes the phone)
               Hello?

                             ED'S VOICE
               Vampira!  Hi, this is Ed Wood. Dolores is appalled.

     Ed shimmies to the music, blowing kisses all around.  He sees
     Vampira and waves.

     Vampira's jaw drops in recognition. Ed perks up.  She's a live one!

     Ed pulls a script from his briefcase and hands it to her. ED
               Okay, you're Lobo.  You're upset.
               You've worked so hard helping Dr. ED
               No, don't worry, I moved on.  I was
               just calling to see if you want to
               attend the world premiere of my new
               film, "Bride Of The Monster." ED
                       (in a frenzy)
               Yeah, well we've GOT a big star!
               Bela Lugosi!!
Ed smiles proudly.  Kathy kisses him.  Ed runs down front, hugs
     Criswell, then takes the microphone. Ed stands with a circle of POTENTIAL BACKERS.  He has an edge
     of desperation we've never seen before. Ed's mind is working.  He holds out the paper and stares at
     it.  Suddenly, he grins.  He grabs the pen and makes a period
     after the "DR."  It now says "DR.ACULA" His eyes suddenly pop.

     The color comes back to his fact.  A plan is quickly boiling
     over inside Ed's head.  He starts feverishly pacing around. Bewildered POTENTIAL BACKERS wander around.  Ed shmoozes them. Ed takes a measured piuse.  This is his big revelation. ED
               Wow.

                             CRISWELL
               And who may you be?

                             ED
               Edward Wood, Sir. They all look to Ed, awaiting a response.  He thinks a second,
     then excitedly CLAPS his hands.

                             ED
               Dolores, give me your shoes. Ed nods.  He motions to Conrad: Get out of here.  Conrad runs
     away.  Ed leans in to Bela. The backers pick up their coats.  Through the doorway, Ed sees
     this.  He jumps up and frantically runs back in. Ed and his buddies wave goodbye to the departing backers.

                             ED
               Goodbye!  Goodbye! Ed is pleased as punch.  He whispers to the Baptists.

                             ED
               Isn't it wonderful?  Bela lives! In a private back room, Ed is throwing a LAVISH BACKERS PARTY.
     All his riff-raff friends are dressed in tuxedos and gowns, ED
               ...It will star Bela Lugosi.  Each
               of you would put up $20,000...

     EXT. PHONE BOOTH - DAY Ed perks up.  She's a live one!

     Ed pulls a script from his briefcase and hands it to her. Ed sashays up to Bela and dances a few steps with him.  The
     music is building to a climax.  Ed hurries off to center stage The crew members put down their things and gather in a circle.
     In the middle, we reveal Ed, in complete drag.  Dress, nylons, The doors open, and Ed's pal JOHN "BUNNY" BRECKINRIDGE, 45,
     hurries out.  Bunny is a wealthy, theatrical fop wearing a
     string of pearls. Ed rolls his eyes.  He runs his hand through his hair, then
     slowly approaches Orson Welles.  Ed is terrified.

                             ED
               Excuse me, Sir...? Ed is elated.

     INT. STUDIO SCREENING ROOM - DAY
ED

                             MINISTER
                       (he smiles)
               Then I now pronounce you man and
               wife.

     Ed kisses Norma. Ed and Norma jump into his Nash.  It says "Just Married" and is
     festooned with dangling tin cans.  The car screeches away.  The LATER

     The wedding is in progress.  The crowd is seated.  A MINISTER
     performs the ceremony with Ed and Norma. The crowd is stunned.

     Many people DROP their glasses.

     Ed proudly pulls out Norma.  She's in a wedding gown. Ed sashays up to Bela and dances a few steps with him.  The
     music is building to a climax.  Ed hurries off to center stage ED

               Hello.

               You're sleeping in a tuxedo.

                             ED
               I got married last night. ED
               Okay.  Then you'll be sitting on the
               <u>left</u>.

     Ed turns to Tor and Loretta.  She wears a wedding gown. Latin horns blast onstage of this hopping '5Os nightclub.
     Cigarette girls roam about.  Seated at a front table is Ed, ED
               Norma.  She changed her mind.  She
               doesn't wanna marry me.
                       (beat)
               Can you put down the gun?

     Bela weakly lowers the gun. Ed runs out after her.

                             ED
               Please, be compassionate.  I'm your
               husband! ED
                       (kissing her)
               Don't worry, I'll teach you.

     He helps her remove her wedding dress.  She is very shy. ED
               Let's get married.

                             KATHY
                       (startled)
               Huh?! Ed smiles proudly.  Kathy kisses him.  Ed runs down front, hugs
     Criswell, then takes the microphone. Ed excitedly carries Norma over the threshold.  He throws her
     onto the bed, and they start ardently making out. Ed runs over.  Dolores is beautifully made-up, and wearing a
     furry angora sweater.  Ed speaks, awkwardly. She hands Ed her white shoes.  He snatches one, grabs a pair of
     scissors, and starts CUTTING up the shoe.  Everyone is baffled. Ed drives past pumping oil wells and into a seedy neighborhood.
     They reach a tiny, well-manicured house.  Ed and Bela get out. KATHY
               Oh.  Congratulations.

                             ED
               The marriage already ended.

                             KATHY
               Oh.  My condolences. She turns and walks away.  Ed is crushed.  He stands
     motionless, in his dress, in the dark.

     He wears his nicest suit.  Ed peers nervously at the GUARD.
Ed rolls his eyes.  He runs his hand through his hair, then
     slowly approaches Orson Welles.  Ed is terrified.

                             ED
               Excuse me, Sir...? Ed is thunderstruck.

                             ED
               Oh my God.  It's Orson Welles... GEORGIE
               Yeah??  Well Orson Welles didn't
               wear angora sweaters, did he??!

     Ed is beaten.

                                                    CUT TO: ORSON WELLES
                       (he extends his hand)
               My pleasure.  I'm Orson Welles. Latin horns blast onstage of this hopping '5Os nightclub.
     Cigarette girls roam about.  Seated at a front table is Ed, Ed shakes his head.  He's discouraged.

                             ED
               Mr. Welles, is it all worth it? Ed smiles proudly.  Kathy kisses him.  Ed runs down front, hugs
     Criswell, then takes the microphone. ED
               Wow.

                             CRISWELL
               And who may you be?

                             ED
               Edward Wood, Sir. Ed is quite upset.

                             ED
               But I'm proud.  I wrote, directed,
               and starred in it just like Orson
               Welles in "Citizen Kane"! The doors open, and Ed's pal JOHN "BUNNY" BRECKINRIDGE, 45,
     hurries out.  Bunny is a wealthy, theatrical fop wearing a
     string of pearls. Ed walks jauntily along, wearing a snappy suit.  He reaches a
     door that says "SCREEN CLASSICS ó George Weiss, President." Ed
     fixes his hair, checks his clothes, then enters. Georgie nods.  Oh, okay.

                             O.S. VOICE
               Mr. Lugosi has arrived!

     Ed jumps excitedly. Vampira is drinking with a bunch of artsy-fartsy types.  She's
     in street clothes, but clearly recognizable.  Ed runs up. Ed drives past pumping oil wells and into a seedy neighborhood.
     They reach a tiny, well-manicured house.  Ed and Bela get out. Bela turns and smiles wanly at Ed.

     Ed smiles back.

     continues.  Ed reaches a building, "HOLLYWOOD MORTUARY," and
     glances in the window.  A pause, then he does a doubletake. The room is very posh, with fancy paneling and marble floors.
     Ed sits nervously under posters for "GRAND HOTEL" and "QUO We're outside the imposing gates of MGM.  The lion logo is

               Can I help you? They shuffle away... until Criswell and his snazzy ENTOURAGE
     burst around a corner.  Even in person, Criswell is ethereal
     and quite self-important.  He is delighted to see Bela.
ED
               It's the same film.  But the
               distributor wanted a punchier title. The crew members put down their things and gather in a circle.
     In the middle, we reveal Ed, in complete drag.  Dress, nylons, GUARD
               What's your name?

                             ED
               Edward D. Wood, Junior. Georgie pulls out artwork of a hermaphrodite: Man on the left
     side, woman on the right.  The lettering screams, "I CHANGED MY
     SEX!" ED
               Wow.

                             CRISWELL
               And who may you be?

               Edward Wood, Sir. ED
               I don't think he's a schmuck.

                             GEORGIE
               And what's with this new title?!  My
               poster says "I CHANGED MY SEX"! ED
                       (impassioned)
               No!  It would be something better!
               Something <u>impressive</u>.  The biggest
               moneymaker you've ever had! Everybody excitedly crowds around and starts reading.   A
     moment... and then their faces drop.  Clearly, this is a ED
               So change the poster.  Trust me,
               you'll be better off.  This is a All of them are breathing heavily.  They watch in the rear
     window as they drive away from the rampage.

     A nervous silence.  Until Bela speaks. Someone changes the record.  Brassy STRIPPER MUSIC begins.

     A door opens, and Ed struts out, in full gaudy drag. Ed writes it out, "DR. ACULA," then waves it in Feldman's face.
     Feldman nods. GEORGIE
               Yeah, well a couple of things have
               changed.  It ain't gonna be the THE CREW

     make-up man, HARRY. CRISWELL
               Ah, cheer up!   Don't lose heart over
               what happened tonight.
                       (he points at his temple)
               I predict that your next project will
               be an outstanding success! ED
               Yeah.  You pull the strings --
                       (he suddenly gets a look)
               "Pull the strings"... hey, that's
               pretty good!

     Ed quickly starts typing again. ED                                            
                       (very annoyed)                                      
               What are you talking about?!  It's
               the premise of the movie.  It's even
               the title, for Christ's sake! Ed crabs a pen and excitedly scrawls out the word "DRACULA."
     Bela frowns. His eyes suddenly pop.

     The color comes back to his fact.  A plan is quickly boiling
     over inside Ed's head.  He starts feverishly pacing around. CRISWELL
               I guessed.

                             ED
               I don't understand.

               I made it up.  It's horseshit!
ED
               Because he's <u>my friend</u>.

     Georgie stares carefully at Ed, then finally smiles. Ed slowly walks over and lies next to Bela.  They're happy,
     eyes alert, on top of the world.

     Ed peers in wonder at his new friend. The bus pulls up, and the doors open.  Ed is worried he's about
     to lose his new friend.  He gets an idea...

                                                    CUT TO: Ed sashays up to Bela and dances a few steps with him.  The
     music is building to a climax.  Ed hurries off to center stage The door flies open, and Tor appears, beaming.

                             TOR
               Edvard, you come!

     Tor gives Ed a back-breaking hug. Ed calms down.  He smiles beatifically. Ed nods.  He motions to Conrad: Get out of here.  Conrad runs
     away.  Ed leans in to Bela. The doors open, and Ed's pal JOHN "BUNNY" BRECKINRIDGE, 45,
     hurries out.  Bunny is a wealthy, theatrical fop wearing a
     string of pearls. Georgie slams down the phone.  He smiles warmly at Ed.

                             GEORGIE
               Can I help you? Latin horns blast onstage of this hopping '5Os nightclub.
     Cigarette girls roam about.  Seated at a front table is Ed, Bela turns and smiles wanly at Ed.

     Ed smiles back.

                                                    CUT TO: Ed smiles proudly.  Kathy kisses him.  Ed runs down front, hugs
     Criswell, then takes the microphone. Ed's panicked.  He grabs Kathy and runs down to his friends.

                             ED
               C'mon!  We're getting the hell out
               of here! Ed runs over.  Dolores is beautifully made-up, and wearing a
     furry angora sweater.  Ed speaks, awkwardly. Ed walks down an aisle with DONALD E. McCOY, a wealthy Texan
     meat man.  Old Man McCoy is a tough-talking, tobacco-chewing,
     straight shooter. Ed is touched.

     A few people around them APPLAUD. Ed is pleased as punch.  He whispers to the Baptists.

                             ED
               Isn't it wonderful?  Bela lives! Ed's mind is working.  He holds out the paper and stares at
     it.  Suddenly, he grins.  He grabs the pen and makes a period
     after the "DR."  It now says "DR.ACULA" Ed drives past pumping oil wells and into a seedy neighborhood.
     They reach a tiny, well-manicured house.  Ed and Bela get out. Ed's car pulls up.  Ed stumbles out, yanks off the tin cans,
     and throws them in someone's trash.
Ed inspects them.

                             ED
               Too tall... too short...
                       (he glances at the Chinese guy)
               And this guy doesn't work at all. Ed's mind is working.  He holds out the paper and stares at
     it.  Suddenly, he grins.  He grabs the pen and makes a period
     after the "DR."  It now says "DR.ACULA" Ed stands in front of a masonite board and two chairs.  An
     actor playing the AIRPLANE PILOT walks up.

                             PILOT
               Where's the cockpit set? The crew members put down their things and gather in a circle.
     In the middle, we reveal Ed, in complete drag.  Dress, nylons, Ed sits in a chaise lounge by the pool, studying papers and
     drinking shots of whiskey.  He's in a woman's pantsuit and
     fuzzy slippers.  Dolores marches out. His eyes suddenly pop.

     The color comes back to his fact.  A plan is quickly boiling
     over inside Ed's head.  He starts feverishly pacing around. THE CREW

     disperses.  Ed quickly runs in his heels over to the burly
     make-up man, HARRY. Latin horns blast onstage of this hopping '5Os nightclub.
     Cigarette girls roam about.  Seated at a front table is Ed, Ed's apartment has gone to hell.  Ed is in a robe, unshaven and
     clutching a bottle of whiskey.  Newspapers are everywhere. The wind is blowing.  Ed's Nash roars up, and he jumps out, a
     coat over his pajamas.  He runs up and POUNDS on Bela's door. The doors open, and Ed's pal JOHN "BUNNY" BRECKINRIDGE, 45,
     hurries out.  Bunny is a wealthy, theatrical fop wearing a
     string of pearls. CUT TO:

     INT. STUDIO WAREHOUSE - DAY

     Ed is back in the plant department, arguing with his boss. Ed sits, waiting.

     Behind the curtain, something DROPS.  We hear a muffled "Shit!" Ed perks up.  She's a live one!

     Ed pulls a script from his briefcase and hands it to her. ED
               Oh.  Um, I'm Ed Wood!
                       (he smiles anxiously)
               So, what are you working on now? Ed is elated.

     INT. STUDIO SCREENING ROOM - DAY Ed takes a measured piuse.  This is his big revelation. Ed chucks the megaphone and runs crazily past the camera and
     behind a building.

                             ED'S VOICE
               And -- ACTION! The house is moved in.  Ed's unkempt dogs run about.  Pumped-up
     Ed sits on the bed typing fiendishly fast while wearing an Ed walks jauntily along, wearing a snappy suit.  He reaches a

     a turban and is acting mysterious. Ed's jaw drops.

                             CRISWELL
               There's no such thing as a psychic.

     eyes framed under his striking pale blonde hair.  He intones,
     with absolute conviction: Suddenly the lid starts to creak open. A hand crawls past
     the edge... and then the lid slams up!  Famed psychic CRISWELL They shuffle away... until Criswell and his snazzy ENTOURAGE
     burst around a corner.  Even in person, Criswell is ethereal
     and quite self-important.  He is delighted to see Bela. Bela does his patented hypnotic arm wave.  He actually has a
     powerful intensity.  Loretta staggers in, eyes glazed.  Like a
     zombie, she climbs onto the operating table. Criswell pushes blind Tor towards the stage.  Tor sticks out
     his arms and scarily staggers down the aisle.  Criswell
     nervously follows.  Vampira escorts Bela. CONRAD
               Nah, I heard she's his childhood
               sweetheart from Poughkeepsie.

                             CRISWELL
               I predict it's Dolores in a mask. Ed rounds up Bela, Tor, Criswell, and Vampira.

     The crowd BOOS louder.  Blind Tor is totally confused.

                             TOR
               What is happening? The theater is packed.  All the gang, and their friends and
     families, are gathered.

     Criswell stands on-stage, speaking into a mike. KATHY
               What was that?

                             ED
                       (quiet)
               Bela died.

                                                    CUT TO: Ed smiles proudly.  Kathy kisses him.  Ed runs down front, hugs
     Criswell, then takes the microphone. CRISWELL
               Ah, cheer up!   Don't lose heart over
               what happened tonight.
                       (he points at his temple)
               I predict that your next project will
               be an outstanding success! Dolores talks on the phone, while Ed silently coaches her.

                             DOLORES (on phone)
               Yes, I've got Mr. Edward Wood on the
               line.  Could you please hold? Dolores reads the script.  She finishes the last page, then
     looks up.  She is very shaken. They march obliviously past Ed.  He watches them go, then
     continues.  Ed reaches a building, "HOLLYWOOD MORTUARY," and
     glances in the window.  A pause, then he does a doubletake. Ed perks up.  She's a live one!

     Ed pulls a script from his briefcase and hands it to her. KATHY
               Sounds like you lived in Grovers
               Corners.

     INT. SPOOK HOUSE - NIGHT

     Ed and Kathy ride through the old mechanical spook house. Dolores is appalled.

     Ed shimmies to the music, blowing kisses all around.  He sees
     Vampira and waves.

     Vampira's jaw drops in recognition. ED
