RUNNING ON RESOLUTIONS - An encore presentation

And the winners are:
NICK - Toni Randall (40%)
AL - Jack Klugman (40%)
Thank you for voting!

FADE IN:

EXT. RUNNERS' PATH. CENTRAL PARK - DAY

Two MEN are jogging together in Central Park on a freezing January morning.

AL
I should have my head examined for letting
you talk me into running this morning.

NICK
And break last year's resolution? You lost
how many pounds? Five? I lost at least ten.

And since I stopped smoking the year before,
my doctor says my lungs are clean as a whistle.

And when I started eating a low-fat diet the
year before that, my cholesterol is as low as
my low-rise underwear.

And since I promised to help around the
house, my wife is one happy camper,
especially in the bedroom.

Al rolls his eyes.

NICK
And how about the year we started our
business. I vowed I'd stop complaining
about your three-hour lunches, and
your endless long-distance calls, and
your so-called business write-offs...
more like expensive gifts to Liz,
Sandra, Connie, and God only knows
who else.

AL
Have you decided on this year's
resolution yet?

NICK
You know me. If I can't keep it, I won't
make it. Why? You have any ideas?

AL
Yeah. A vow of silence.

Their VOICES fade out...

NICK
You know I can't do that. How else can
I tell you what's on my mind.

AL
What's left of it.

...as they disappear out of view.

FADE TO BLACK

FADE IN:

EXT. RUNNERS PATH. CENTRAL PARK - DAY

In Central Park, two middle-aged MEN are jogging together on a freezing January morning.

AL
I should have my head examined for letting
you talk me into running this morning.

NICK
And break last year's resolution! You lost
how many pounds? Five? I lost at least
ten.

And since I stopped smoking the year before,
my doctor says my lungs are clean as a
whistle.

And when I started eating a low-fat diet
the year before that, my cholesterol is
as low as my low-rise underwear.

And my wife is one happy camper since I
promised to help around the house, not
to mention in the bedroom.

Al rolls his eyes.

AL
Have you decided on this year's resolution,
yet?

NICK
You know me. If I can't keep it, I won't
make it. Why? You have any ideas?

AL
Yeah. A vow of silence.

Their VOICES fade out...

NICK
You know I can't do that. How else can I share what's on
my mind.

AL
