FADE IN:
INT. LOG CABIN. PLYMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS - THANKSGIVING DAY
A FAMILY of six are gathered around the dining table adorned with the cornucopia of Thanksgiving dinner.
Anticipant as the grandfather clock CHIMES three o'clock,
MOTHER
He'll be here.
FATHER
He's late, Dorah.
DORAH
We won't start without him, Luther.
LUTHER
(firmly)
He'd be the first to understand.
As Luther begins carving the turkey, Dorah lets out a SIGH. Their DAUGHTER clasps her hand reassuringly.
DAUGHTER
He's been here every Thanksgiving, dad.
Luther stops carving with the KNOCK at the door.
GRANDSON
He's here!
He and his sister run out of the dining room and return holding the hands of Native American, MASSASOIT.
All surround him excitedly and guide him to his place at the table.
GRANDDAUGHTER
We saved your chair, Great Sachem.
Massasoit nods, smiling. As he sits, he retrieves the ceremonial pipe from his pouch, then lights it. After inhaling, he passes it to Luther who then passes it to Dorah. She respectfully inhales and returns it to Massasoit.
After snuffing the pipe, Massasoit sets it adjacent to his place setting. Ritualistically, each extends and holds the other's hand, heads bowed.
DORAH
We give thanks today for Your eternal bounty.
ALL
(in unison)
Amen.
MASSASOIT
Aho.
FADE TO BLACK
Happy Thanksgiving!

THE HUNCHBACK OF HOLLYWOOD -- An encore presentation
And the winners are:
Quasimodo (Before) - Danny DeVito (37%)
Quasimodo (After) - Hugh Jackman (37%)
Phoebus - Richard Chamberlain (55%)
Esmeralda - Penelope Cruz (50%)
Thank you for voting!
FADE IN:
Ext. Square Outside Notre Dame Cathedral. Medieval Paris - Day
QUASIMODO, Notre Dame's disfigured bell ringer, is sentenced for disturbing the peace and abducting, ESMERALDA, the gypsy dancer. He is shackled to the pillory where he is flogged and exposed for an hour to public disgrace.
Despite the stifling heat, throngs gather to gawk at the Hunchback's demise. His head bowed, Esmeralda looks on, pitying him. Quasimodo slowly raises his head and peers into the crowd.
QUASIMODO
(cries out)
Water.
CROWD
(mimics)
Water.
QUASIMODO
(emphatically)
Water!
CROWD
(laughs)
Water!
All are silenced as Esmeralda walks up the stairs to the pillory and offers the Hunchback water from her pouch. He turns aways, embarrasssed of his ugliness in the light of her beauty.
She patiently allows water to moisten his parched lips. Remembering his thirst, he bends back, mouth opened, and guzzles the remaining water, then collapses.
PHOEBUS, Captain of the King's Archery, rides through the crowd and up to the pillory. He dismounts, joins Esmeralda, then turns to face the people.
PHOEBUS
Have your last stare at this poor creature for he will
no longer be deformed. I, Phoebus de Chateaupers,
will perform a miracle.
When Quasimodo is released, Phoebus escorts him into the cathedral; the crowd on their heels.
INT. NOTRE DAME - DAY
PHOEBUS
(swaggering)
I've been hired, my dear disfigured man, by Nip/Tuck.
It seems they believe I can perform wonders with my
dagger and sword. Let's prove them right, shall we?
Quasimodo blinks, perplexed. After hours of grueling nipping and tucking, Phoebus steps back to admire his accomplishment.
PHOEBUS
Voila! Magnifique! You shall no longer suffer such
humiliation!
EXT. NOTRE DAME - NIGHT
As they walk down the cathedral's steps, the crowd rushes towards them and GASPS.
PHOEBUS
My friends, I give you the new and improved Quasimodo!
Slender, handsome, and erect, Quasimodo steps forward. Esmeralda immediately joins him while the people gape.
QUASIMODO
How can I ever repay you, Phoebus, and Nip/Tuck.
And, here's to my beautiful bride-to-be, Esmeralda.
Turning to her,
PHOEBUS
Marrying Quasimodo?
ESMERALDA
After the prenup, of course!
