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!

COLUMBUS MEETS JACK SPARROW -- An Encore Presentation
FADE IN:
INT. CAPTAIN'S QUARTERS. SANTA MARIA - DAY
In his quarters, CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS furiously makes notes after studying compass readings and maps. His PILOT, Sancho, enters.
SANCHO
You are needed on deck, Capitain.
COLUMBUS
What is it?
SANCHO
A ship is on the horizon.
EXT. DECK. SANTA MARIA - DAY
Studying the ship's black hull and sails,
COLUMBUS
It's Sparrow.
SANCHO
Here? Should we stand ready for battle?
COLUMBUS
No. We'll negotiate.
As the Santa Maria and the Black Pearl grow within hearing distance of each other,
COLUMBUS
What brings you to these parts, Sparrow?
SPARROW
The same as you, Columbus. Spices, silk,
a short cut to the Indies.
The ships are now parallel; Columbus and Sparrow face-to-face.
COLUMBUS
You'll never find it, Sparrow.
SPARROW
No?
Columbus remains steadfast as Sparrow gestures to his pilot who disappears, then
reappears moments later with ISLAND NATIVES and a chest of booty.
COLUMBUS
Where did you find them?
SPARROW
That is for me to know and for you
to find out.
COLUMBUS
Buffoon.
SPARROW
Ah, ah, ah, ah.
Sparrow jumps onto a mast, then down to the steering wheel, speeding ahead.
COLUMBUS
(to Sancho)
Remain on course.
When land is sighted, Columbus' CREW notices a fiery glow and billowing smoke; the Black Pearl uneasy in the water.
COLUMBUS
Get ready to dock.
EXT. ISLAND - NIGHT
The Santa Maria rests adjacent to the Black Pearl. As its crew climbs down, Sparrow and his men are eating fish on leaves, fraternizing with the Natives, and worse for drink.
Columbus steps up to Sparrow who salutes him.
COLUMBUS
Let's get back onboard, Sancho.
Sparrow fumbles to his feet, ordering his men.
SPARROW
Get up you bungling idiots!
The Black Pearl remains on Santa Maria's hull. When Columbus sights land, he jumps overboard, swims to shore, then collapses.
As Sparrow is about to do the same, DAVY JONES emerges from the water.
SPARROW
Not now, Davy.
DAVY
We have lots to talk about, Sparrow.
INT. CLASSROOM - DAY
A TEACHER stands before a classroom of engrossed ten-year olds.
TEACHER
So children, without Davy Jones' help, Columbus
may not have discovered the Caribbean Islands.
A GIRL raises her hand.
TEACHER
Yes, Jane.
JANE
(sobbing)
But what happened to Johnny Depp?
