　　Joy goes to her mom. Finally vulnerable.
　　JOY
　　So…… what？ You’re just going to ignore everything else？ You could be anything， anywhere. Why not go Somewhere where your daughter is more than just…… this. Here， all we’ll get are a few specks of time where any of this actually makes Sense.
　　Evelyn looks at the mess around her. We hear the SOUNDS OF THE OTHER UNIVERSES SWIRLING IN.
　　
　　She grabs Joy’s hands and the sounds stop.
　　EVELYN
　　Then I will cherish these few Specks of time.
　　Joy slowly nods her head and leans in closer to her mom.
　　Evelyn closes her eyes and breathes in deep. As the music crescendos， Evelyn tries to let all of the other universes go：
　　
　　122-2 NOODLE UNIVERSE: A giant chef hand plucks them from the Spoon.
　　EVELYN （NOODLE） （CONT’D）
　　Hold your breath!
　　He throws them: Mother-threaded-through-noodle-son. It’s magical， like flying- FADE TO BLACK
　　
　　122-3/4 CHEF UNIVERSE: Chad is riding Evelyn， as they catch up with the truck. Raccaccoonie watches them in awe through the back window- FADE TO BLACK
　　
　　122-5 HOT DOG UNIVERSE: Evelyn and Deirdre open their mouths and lift up their beautiful floppy fingers， about to squirt their finger condiments. The ritual is almost complete- FADE TO BLACK
　　
　　122-6 TEMPLE UNIVERSE: Bagel Deirdre pulls off her robes and swings open the Temple exit doors. Light spills over her face- FADE TO BLACK
　　
　　122-7 ACTION UNIVERSE: The final signs of Jobu are swallowed by the BLACKNESS. Evelyn closes her eyes and focuses.
　　On Evelyn’s cerebral map. Just a few red dots. Fewer， fewer
　　
　　122-8 OPERA UNIVERSE: Evelyn and her father sing their hearts out to an empty room. She lets out one long sustained note， causing the ground to rumble- FADE TO BLACK
　　
　　122-9 ROCK UNIVERSE: Evelyn Rock comes rolling down the hill towards Jobu Rock. They are about make contact- FADE TO BLACK
　　
　　122-10 MOVIE STAR UNIVERSE: Waymond is stoic. Evelyn waits for him to say something， anything. He begins to crack a smile - FADE TO BLACK
　　
　　122-7 ACTION UNIVERSE: Evelyn stands by the edge of the Bagel.
　　
　　Suddenly a hand reaches out. Evelyn grabs it! She pulls Jobu out and they stumble away from the bagel.
　　Jobu looks exhausted. She rests her head on her mother’s Shoulder - FADE TO BLACK
　　
　　122 TAXES UNIVERSE: EXT. LAUNDROMAT
　　
　　Joy rests her head on her mother’s shoulder here as well. She lets out a sigh of deep relief.
　　The music stops. Everything is still. They are only here， in one universe， for now.
　　Evelyn studies every little piece of the moment: the stray hairs coming from Joy’s head， the flicker of the neon lights across the car’s reflection， the distant sound of the highway like ocean waves.
　　Evelyn sees Waymond and Becky tearfully watching from the laundromat entrance.
　　The remaining guests are watching from inside.
　　JOY
　　Oh god， now I feel so awkward. This is awkward right？
　　Joy pushes Evelyn away and they casually walk together back towards the laundromat.
　　JOY （CONT’D）
　　Do you still want to do your party？
　　EVELYN
　　We can do whatever we want.
　　Waymond hears this， and pulls out the signed divorce papers from his pocket. He looks them over then tears them up.
　　Joy spots the karaoke machine on the ground. She picks up the microphones and shakes the glass from them.
　　JOY
　　"You can touch. You can play. If you say……"
　　JOY AND EVELYN
　　"I’m always yours."
　　Waymond turns on the TV and presses play. The lyrics of "Barbie Girl" by Aqua come on the screen （from the opening）.
　　The remaining men from the Chinese Church Choir all begin to Sing in harmony.
　　MEN’S CHOIR
　　I’m a Barbie Girl， in a Barbie world. Life in Plastic， it’s fantastic. You can brush my hair， undress me everywhere.
　　Imagination……
　　As their beautiful song reverberates around the room， Evelyn and Joy look at each other and mouth the final lines.
　　JOY AND EVELYN AND EVERYONE ELSE
　　Life is your creation.
　　This is good. Even if it’s just for a tiny speck of time.
　　FADE TO BLACK.
　　
　　123 INT. APARTMENT - MORNING
　　
　　Evelyn and Waymond sit at the table loading papers and receipts into a file folder.
　　We hear the toilet flush and Joy steps into the room.
　　JOY
　　We’re definitely late now guys.
　　EVELYN
　　Joy， I know you could be a million other places right now. Thank you for coming.
　　Joy rolls her eyes. She leaves with Waymond， leaving Evelyn alone for a moment.
　　TITLE: “PART 3: ALL AT ONCE”
　　
　　124 EXT. IRS BUILDING - MORNING
　　
　　Becky drives up to the front entrance and the family climbs out.
　　WAYMOND
　　Thank you for the ride.
　　Becky puts her car in gear， but Evelyn stops her.
　　EVELYN
　　Becky？ You need to grow more hair.
　　This means the world to Becky. She rubs the shaved side of her head and smiles.
　　
　　125 INT. IRS LOBBY - MOMENTS LATER
　　
　　Evelyn， and Waymond walk down the hallway with Joy trailing behind them pushing Gong Gong.
　　Waymond looks down at Evelyn’s hand. He gets the courage to hold it.
　　She looks at him a bit unsure then squeezes it back. They walk like that， holding hands towards the elevator.
　　Joy heads to the bathroom.
　　JOY
　　I gotta pee. Hold on.
　　WAYMOND
　　我也得去.
　　WAYMOND
　　I should go too.
　　EVELYN
　　我幫你拿.
　　EVELYN
　　I’ll hold your bag.
　　He hands it to her， grateful， then turns away.
　　EVELYN
　　Wait.
　　She grabs his hand again and pulls him in. And they kiss.
　　It’s sweet. A little awkward.
　　
　　126 INT. IRS 9TH FLOOR OFFICE - LATER
　　
　　A wall of triumphant music plays as Evelyn looks at her family: Gong Gong naps in the corner， while Joy idly scrolls through her phone， and Waymond politely nods to Deirdre who chugs another protein shake.
　　With saintlike serenity， Evelyn and Waymond hold hands and patiently wait as Deirdre lists all of their new infractions and thumbs through a pile of red sticky notes.
　　DEIRDRE
　　Evelyn？ Did you hear me？
　　EVELYN
　　（happy & distracted）
　　I’m sorry. Could you repeat the question？
