OUTSIDE AT THE AFRICAN CLINIC IN THE DAYTIME:

UP CLOSE: Jacqueline's hands load a bullet into a pistol.
She raises it...

CHARITY (Unseen voice)
On your marks!

Jacqueline squares the pistol's sights toward the head of Nurse Nazzi ... Nurse Nazzi struggles, gagged and tied to a pole.

CHARITY (Unseen voice)
Get set!

Nurse Nazzi screams.

CHARITY (Unseen voice)
Go!!

Jacqueline jolts the pistol into air ... fires it into the sky.

Jock & Anthony TEAR off racing.

Jock runs slow, LIMPS.

Charity smiles.

Jock's bullet-wound trickles blood onto his sandal ... leaves a trail in the sand.

Little Anthony bursts through the finish line in first place.
The African crowd (including villagers, WuTang & Zulu) CHEER.

Charity bolts toward Jock.

Jock hugs Charity... spins her.
He leans in to kiss her.

Jacqueline SCOWLS at Jock.



Charity's eyes well up with tears ... she stares into Jock's eyes.

JOCK
If we kiss, I could give you Mono.

CHARITY
I DO!

Charity slams her kiss onto Jock's lips ...
... her arms bear-hug his neck ...
... he lifts her into the air ...
... they kiss the kiss of a lifetime.

UP CLOSE: MikeRobe & Flora smooch each other, standing astride Jock & Charity's kissing lips.

Jock spins Charity around and around ... as the African villagers go wild.

An African Hot Dog Vendor Nerd pulls his finger out of his nose.
He CHEERS, hands high, as Jock & Charity kiss.

JOCK
(arm around Charity)
Mom, come hug your new daughter-in-law.

Jacqueline stands holding the pistol, scowling, watching Jock and Charity hug...
Jacqueline's finger STROKES the trigger.

Anthony pulls Jacqueline toward Jock & Charity.

ANTHONY
C'mon Grandmother, FAMILY HUG!

Jacqueline's feet dig into the dirt.

JOCK
(with Charity)
C'mon, Mom.

Jacqueline shrug-sighs ... She chunks the gun at Nurse Nazzi's feet.
(In the background, Nurse Nazzi devil-grins.)

JACQUELINE
If you can't beat 'em... JOIN 'em!

Jacqueline scoops Anthony up in her arms ...
...she BUMBLES in her leg-cast ...
... she hugs Jock and Charity ...
...African Goatie jumps up to join the hug...
...they all SANDWICH Anthony in a big triumphant FAMILY-HUG!!
