37 MILLION B.C.
1 EXT. NIGHT - DESERT VALLEY
The valley is a dry lake, dusty and reddish-brown.
Stars glow brilliantly overhead. In the distance is
a high plateau with a single white light emanating
from the edge.
In the foreground is the partially buried skeleton
of a Triceratops. Its horns and skull point
despairingly up at the sky, its backbone curving
along the ground and disappearing under the cracked
earth.
2 EXT. NIGHT - PLATEAU
CUT to the top of the plateau. The light turns out
to be coming from the headlights of a '64 Mustang
convertible. The car is idling. In the driver's
seat is JOSEPH, with MARY next to him in the
passenger seat. She is pregnant. Both have metal
haloes with glued-on sparkles around their heads,
mounted on coat hangars going down their backs a la
the third grade Christmas pageant. Mary is half-
asleep.
JOSEPH
Okay...that's it.
MARY
Hmm...
(waking up, yawning)
What time is it?
JOSEPH
Midnight.
MARY
(stretching)
Well...Let's go.
Joseph puts the car in reverse, turns around, and
starts down the road into the valley, where they
will begin to people the earth.
BLACKOUT.
THE END.
