Wait, no! Let me try again!
Evelyn pushes a cabinet away and squeezes through. Waymond looks utterly confused.
WAYMOND
Evelyn! 怎麼回事?
WAYMOND
Evelyn! What’s going on?
Alpha Waymond is gone. Evelyn pushes Waymond back through
Some doors and shuts the door tight behind them.
45 INT. IRS STAIRWELL
WAYMOND
Evelyn! Your face.
Evelyn’s nose is bleeding and her face is battered.
EVELYN
You left me. You just left me.
WAYMOND
What? I’m still here.你是指離婚的事嗎?
WAYMOND
What? I’m still here. Do you mean the divorce?
The reminder of the divorce causes a great dissonance in her mind. Her bluetooth malfunctions and flashes GREEN:
46 TAXES UNIVERSE: EXT. LAUNDROMAT
Evelyn and Waymond sit in the RV.
WAYMOND
我希望新年有個新的開始.但是.也許你是對的.如果我們沒結婚的話也許會更幸福.
WAYMOND
I wanted to start off the new year on a new foot. But……
maybe you’re right. Maybe we would have been better off if we had never gotten married.
EVELYN
我從來沒説過.
EVELYN
I never said that
WAYMOND
你根本不⽤說,
你的眼神已經出賣了你.
WAYMOND
You didn’t have to. It’s the way you look at me.
EVELYN
Waymond……
The car door is ripped off-
47 INT. STAIRWELL
The door is ripped from its hinges to reveal a sweaty angry Deirdre. Evelyn panics.
EVELYN
…… I love you!
WAYMOND
(touched)
What?
EVELYN
⾛開啦!
(to Deirdre)
I love you! I love you!
EVELYN
Get out of the way!
(to Deirdre)
I love you! I love you!
Her bluetooth turns YELLOW. Evelyn grabs Waymond’s hand and they run down the stairs as Deirdre laughs.
Evelyn turns to see Deirdre leap off the top step and Straight into the air right towards her. Evelyn falls on her knees and finally gives in.
EVELYN (CONT’D)
(like a prayer)
I LOVE YOU!
The bluetooth turns GREEN. She presses the button.
A shock goes through her brain. Just as Deirdre’s knee is about to hit Evelyn’s nose, TIME SLOWS DOWN TO A CRAWL.
The camera patiently pushes into Evelyn’s head, through countless universes then stops:
48 MOVIE STAR UNIVERSE: INT. LIMOUSINE
Evelyn lounges in her limo dressed in a lovely gown. She
gasps as she rapidly downloads memories.
WE GO THROUGH MEMORIES LIKE A TRAIN GOING THROUGH A TUNNEL:
48-1 - EXT. HONG KONG ALLEY - 1980s - Evelyn and Waymond, in their early 20’s, on the porch.
YOUNG WAYMOND
難道你看不到嗎?如果你跟我⾛, 我們會有美好的將來.
YOUNG WAYMOND
Can’t you see it? How wonderful it would be if you came with me?
The screen fractures like a prism, and we see two options:
one universe where Evelyn drives away in the taxi with him, and one where she stays with her family.
We follow the universe in which Evelyn stays:
48-2 - EXT. HONG KONG STREET - NIGHT - Evelyn is walking alone crying softly to herself. A mugger grabs her purse and knocks her to the ground.
Moments later, her purse drops back down beside her. She looks up to see a regal woman in traditional attire: classic KUNG FU MASTER. She has beaten up the mugger.
48-3 - EXT. WOODS - Classic training montage moments: Evelyn carrying buckets of water up and down a mountain, doing pinky push ups, breaking clay pots with her fists.
In a quick series of moments, the Kung Fu Master playfully keeps a cookie away from Evelyn. This is her toughest challenge. She never quite gets it.
KUNG FU MASTER (V.O.)
功夫不只是打⾾, ⽽是熟能⽣巧, 做好⼀塊餅乾也是功夫.
KUNG FU MASTER (V.O.)
Gong Fu is not just about combat. It is the mastery of any discipline. Even this cookie can be Gong Fu.
48-4 - INT. KUNG FU COMPETITION - Evelyn executes a perfect kick to her opponent’s face.
She is being honored with a medal. She looks at her Master with great pride. Her Master bows her head. A Hollywood Manager with a cigar seems very impressed.
48-5/6/7 - MONTAGE - of Evelyn working with her Kung Fu Master on a film set. Then another one and another one.
48 MOVIE STAR UNIVERSE: INT. LIMOUSINE - She’s back. She looks across the limo at her MASTER like she has never seen her before. She pulls out a cookie from her pocket and Evelyn instinctively grabs for it and they do a poetic kung fu dance as she marvels at her own hand’s abilities.
Evelyn almost grabs the end of the cookie but fails. The Master smiles. It’s a sweet moment.
KUNG FU MASTER
雖然我們已經不再是當年的⾃⼰, 但你不能忘記當年學武的初⼼.我以你為榮.
KUNG FU MASTER
Though we are far from our humble beginnings. You must never forget why you learned Gong Fu. I am proud.
The camera pushes back into her head:
49 INT. IRS - STAIRWELL - ORIGINAL UNIVERSE
Not even a second has passed. A single tear is suspended from her eye.
Evelyn’s fists close tightly, and she inhales. TIME RESUMES LIKE A SLAP TO THE FACE.
In one fluid motion, Evelyn side steps the knee, grabs hold of Deirdre’s arm mid-air, then slams her to the ground.
Evelyn looks at her hands. It worked.
Deirdre attempts to grapple her, but Evelyn easily dodges the advance and sends Deirdre tumbling down the stairs. Her head crashes through the drywall and she goes limp.
Evelyn disconnects. Waymond runs over and lifts her up.
WAYMOND
Why did you-? How-? 你在哭嗎?
WAYMOND
Why did you-? How-? Are you crying?
