ALVIN<br>

THIS IS IT, TOM.<br>

THIS IS IT.<br>

<br>

<br>

THOMAS<br>

The morning before the big trip.<br>

<br>

<br>

ALVIN<br>

TWENTY-FOUR HOURS AND I WILL BE THERE.<br>

<br>

<br>

THOMAS<br>

All I could think was... boy this day came fast.<br>

ALVIN<br>

TO RUFFLE YOUR FEATHERS AND GET IN YOUR HAIR.<br>

<br>

<br>

THOMAS<br>

All I could think was... I have things to take care of.<br>

<br>

<br>

ALVIN<br>

THE WHOLE TOWN CAN PERISH, I DON’T EVEN CARE.<br>

<br>

<br>

THOMAS<br>

But all I could say was... see you tomorrow.<br>

<br>

<br>

ALVIN<br>

THIS IS IT, TOM.<br>

THIS IS IT.<br>

<br>

<br>

I never thought this day would actually come.<br>

<br>

<br>

THIS MORNING I FINALLY BELIEVED IT.<br>

I WOKE UP AND FELT IT BEGIN.<br>

<br>

<br>

"I’M SHAKING THE DUST OF THIS<br>

CRUMMY OLD TOWN OFF MY FEET."<br>

<br>

<br>

Take that, George Bailey!<br>

<br>

<br>

I'LL MAKE UP A SIGN FOR THE BOOKSTORE<br>

AND HANG IT WHERE PEOPLE COME IN<br>

SAYING “CLOSING FOR CHRISTMAS.<br>

THE OWNER IS HITTING THE STREET.”<br>

<br>

<br>

LOOK, I’LL NEVER BE A WORLD TRAVELER.<br>

I JUST WASN’T BUILT THAT WAY.<br>

STILL, THIS COULD BE MY INDEPENDENCE DAY.<br>

<br>

<br>

THOMAS<br>

Aren't you blowing this a little out of proportion?<br>

<br>

<br>

ALVIN<br>

I THINK OF THE TIMES THROUGHOUT HISTORY<br>

A DAY UNREMARKABLY DAWNED<br>

THEN ONE MAN WAS SEIZED<br>

BY THE RESTLESS DESIRE TO EXPLORE.<br>

<br>

<br>

HE LOOKED UP AND SCANNED THE HORIZON<br>

AND WONDERED WHAT MIGHT LIE BEYOND.<br>

THEN HOISTED HIS ANCHOR<br>

AND SAILED FOR SOME UNCHARTED SHORE.<br>

<br>

<br>

WELL NOW MY DESTINY‘S CALLING,<br>

AND I CAN HEAR IT SAY<br>

THIS COULD BE MY INDEPENDENCE DAY.<br>

<br>

<br>

THOMAS<br>

It's just a trip to the city, Al.<br>

<br>

<br>

ALVIN<br>

Of course you wouldn’t understand.<br>

<br>

<br>

THIS IS A FEELING YOU MUST FEEL EVERY DAY<br>

AS PUBLISHING’S LATEST MAN-OF-THE-HOUR.<br>

<br>

<br>

Four bestsellers and counting, Tom.<br>

<br>

<br>

I REALLY CAN’T COMPETE WITH YOUR RESUME.<br>

<br>

<br>

BUT SOMETHING DEEP IS STIRRING<br>

AND SHIFTING INSIDE.<br>

THE BOUNDARIES ARE BLURRING<br>

AND OPENING WIDE.<br>

IT'S SUDDENLY OCCURRING<br>

THAT FINALLY I DESERVE<br>

TO STRAY AND REACH AND YEARN<br>

AND DARE TO SAY<br>

IT MIGHT JUST BE MY TURN.<br>

<br>

<br>

IT’S RARE THAT YOU NOTICE A MOMENT<br>

THE MOMENT IT’S HURRYING BY<br>

AND INSTANTLY FRAME IT<br>

AND SAY THAT’S WHEN EVERYTHING CHANGED.<br>

<br>

<br>

BUT NOW, THERE’S A MOMENT APPROACHING.<br>

I’M STARING IT STRAIGHT IN THE EYE.<br>

PREPARED FOR A FUTURE<br>

OF MOMENTS THAT AREN’T PREARRANGED.<br>

<br>

<br>

OLD GEORGE BAILEY WAS CHEATED<br>

HE NEVER LEFT HIS TOWN.<br>

BEATEN DOWN AND DEFEATED<br>

HE EVEN TRIED TO DROWN.<br>

BUT LOOK AT ME, I’VE BEEN TREATED<br>

TO LIFE TURNED UPSIDE-DOWN.<br>

WELCOME TO MY INDEPENDENCE DAY.<br>

<br>

<br>

THIS IS IT, TOM.<br>

THIS IS IT.<br>

<br>

<br>

THOMAS<br>

All I could think was... I never told Ann he was coming.<br>

<br>

<br>

ALVIN<br>

CHRISTMAS, THE TWO OF US, JUST LIKE BEFORE.<br>

<br>

<br>

THOMAS<br>

All I could think was... I never told Alvin I'm engaged.<br>

<br>

<br>

ALVIN<br>

LIKE BACK IN MY LIVING ROOM OVER THE STORE.<br>

<br>

<br>

THOMAS<br>

All I could think was... things here have gotten complicated.<br>

<br>

<br>

ALVIN<br>

WHO SAYS THE HOLIDAYS HAVE TO BE MORE?<br>

<br>

<br>

THOMAS<br>

But all I could say was...<br>

<br>

<br>

ALVIN<br>

THIS IS IT, TOM.<br>

THIS IS...<br>

<br>

<br>

THOMAS<br>

Al. Don't come.<br>

<br>

<br>

(Silence.)<br>

<br>

<br>

ALVIN<br>

Why not?<br>

<br>

<br>

THOMAS<br>

It's not a good time. Al? What do you think, Al?<br>

<br>

<br>

ALVIN<br>

THIS IS IT, TOM<br>

ME AND YOU.<br>

<br>

<br>

THOMAS<br>

THE NEXT TIME THAT WE SAID GOODBYE<br>

<br>

<br>

ALVIN<br>

IF YOU COMMIT, TOM<br>

YOU SEE IT THROUGH.<br>

<br>

<br>

THOMAS<br>

WHY IS IT ALWAYS GOODBYE?<br>

<br>

<br>

Goodbye, Al.<br>

<br>

<br>

ALVIN<br>

Goodbye, Tom.<br>

<br>

<br>

THOMAS<br>

RELATIONSHIPS THRIVE OR DISSOLVE<br>

WITHOUT OUR KNOWING WHY.<br>

AND SOMEHOW GOODBYE BECAME EASY.<br>

<br>

<br>

Wait! Let me explain. It really wasn't a good time. I...<br>
