DEIRDRE (HOT DOG)
I thought maybe we could have a Special night.
She struggles to pull off her blindfold. She has hot dog hands. Candles everywhere. Romantic music plays.
Deirdre begins slapping her thighs with her hot dog hands and circles Evelyn. Evelyn recognizes the beginning of the love ritual from the musical on TV.
Evelyn pushes Deirdre over and runs out the door
87-6 MOVIE STAR UNIVERSE: EXT BACK ALLEY - Evelyn is guided out by a very concerned Waymond. She closes her eyes to block out the confusion.
She collapses into Waymond’s arms. He is using a napkin to pat her head dry.
EVELYN
My clay pot 漏了… I can think of whatever nonsense I want to and somewhere out there, 在另⼀個空間真的存在
EVELYN
My clay pot is leaking…… I can think of whatever nonsense I want to and somewhere out there, it exists. It’s real.
WAYMOND (CEO)
慢慢來, 想點開⼼的.
WAYMOND (CEO)
Just think happy thoughts.
EVELYN
Spaghetti. Baby. Noodle boy.
We hear the sound of water BOILING-
87-7 NOODLE UNIVERSE: INT. BOILING POT - Evelyn is a long strand of spaghetti in a pot full of spaghetti. One little macaroni approaches her. He will be voiced by a small child. This is SPAGHETTI BABY NOODLE BOY.
SPAGHETTI BABY NOODLE BOY
Mommy! Mommy! It’s Throwing Day! Do you think they’ll pick me? Do you think I’ll stick on the wall?
Today, will I become a man?
Noodle Evelyn looks at her macaroni son in disbelief.
EVELYN (NOODLE)
SHUT UP Spaghetti Baby Noodle Boy!
87-8/9/10VARIOUS UNIVERSES: In rapid succession, we cut to several versions of Evelyn, all screaming: sitting in an IRS cubicle, Sitting on a bus, tied to a stake above a fire, she is an old
leather boot.
EVELYN (CONT’D)
SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!
She closes her eyes tight to block it all out.
87 ACTION UNIVERSE: INT. IRS BUILDING - On Waymond’s phone, Evelyn’s mental map spreads further and further.
But then, it stops-
88 TAXES UNIVERSE: INT. APARTMENT - DINING ROOM/LIVING ROOM
Evelyn is staring off into the distance. A little sweat rolls down her forehead. She has stabilized.
Waymond has his hand on her shoulder.
WAYMOND
你沒事吧.⼜看⾒你發呆了.
WAYMOND
You okay? Caught you staring off into space again.
She looks around to confirm: yes, there on the wall is a picture of Joy as a child.
EVELYN
(to herself)
I did it.
WAYMOND
太棒了!你可以在party
前把⽂件送过来.
WAYMOND
Good job! You can drop off the paperwork before the party starts.
Waymond hands her a Tupperware of more cookies with “FOR MS.
DEIRDRE” written on it, before heading down to the laundromat carrying plastic cutlery and other supplies.
She stands to go, then stops, suddenly aware of a receipt in her hand. Still suspended between two piles.
She places it in a pile, but it SPLITS INTO TWO HANDS. A universe where she placed the receipt in each pile. She looks down, quietly amazed.

BUZZ! BUZZ!
89 TAXES UNIVERSE: INT. LAUNDROMAT
Evelyn opens the stairwell door: A small group of Chinese men begin singing in Evelyn’s confused face.
MEN’S CHOIR
Gong xi, Gong xi, Gong xi niii ah!
Gong xi, Gong xi, Gong xi niiii!
恭喜, 恭喜, 恭喜你呀! 恭喜, 恭喜, 恭喜你!
Waymond, carrying a cheap Chinese dragon costume, steps out to greet his men’s church choir.
WAYMOND
好、好、好, 不要破壞 surprise…
WAYMOND
Okay, okay shhh…… don’t Spoil the surprise……
He leads his friends away through the mostly decorated laundromat, Evelyn spots someone approaching: It’s Joy and Becky.
JOY
Hey mom. So. About this morningEvelyn strikes a fighting pose, but almost falls.
EVELYN
Enough with your tricks.
JOY
What’s up?
EVELYN
Get out of my daughter. I know you’re in there.
She points at Joy’s forehead, but her finger begins to sway back and forth. Joy and Becky share a look.
JOY
Mom are you already drunk?
Joy’s head knocks forward and then looks up. Jobu Tupaki has arrived. She watches Evelyn with a focused fascination.
JOBU
(acting)
Becky. Can you help my dad get ready for the party?
Becky gives Jobu a curious look as she goes. They’re alone.
JOBU (CONT’D)
You see it all, don’t you?
Jobu slowly steps forward forcing Evelyn to step back into:
90 VARIOUS UNIVERSES:
EXT. FOREST: Evelyn and Joy are now in a forest. Evelyn nods.
She continues to back up cautiously.
JOBU
You can-
(RUMBLE POP! She turns a branch into a katana)
See how everything is just a random rearrangement of particles, in a vibrating superposition……
90-1 INT. JAILHOUSE: Jobu’s the cop. Evelyn’s the escaped inmate.
They slowly move their way past jail cells, eyes locked onto one another.
EVELYN
I don’t know what you just said, but I can do this.
Evelyn grabs a mop from a bucket, swinging it over her head-
90-2 EXT. IRISH FJORD: Viking Evelyn is now wielding an axe against Jobu’s katana.
JOBU
But you see how everything we do……
She plunges her katana into her own stomach. No blood.
Instead, candy spills out-
90-3 EXT. BACKYARD: They are now Jobu-shaped and Evelyn-shaped piñata’s hanging from trees being hit by unseen children.
JOBU (CONT’D)
Just gets washed away in a sea of every other possibility?
Evelyn Piñata gets hit in the face-
I thought maybe we could have a Special night.
