Amy’s final page!
What I learned doing this assignment is by focusing on using one of these last pages I can give my story a more satisfying ending.
A. The Setup / Payoff final page: Andrea is setup as a local celebrity. In the end she uses that celebrity to convince everyone that Meagan is guilty of stealing her family and starting the fire at the lab.
B. The Contrast final page: Andrea is back in the present and everything is the same as it was at the beginning of the movie. She is devasted. The network job is gone. She goes to her son’s baseball game. While there, she gets a call that the network is interested in her.
C. The Climax/Resolution final page: Andrea comes back out of the supercollider and realizes she’s back in the present. She’s panicked that everything that just happened has been erased, but once she goes home to her family, she realizes the present and the future have merged.
D. The “Something good is going to come out of this mess” final page: Andrea is back in the present and everything is the same as it was at the beginning of the movie. She is devasted, but when her boss gives her a chance to do a report for the network, she chooses instead to go to her son’s playoff game giving us hope that she won’t lose her family.
E. The “One last gesture” final page: The network wants someone from WBEN to cover a story for them. Andrea chooses her family over her job. She gives the story to Joannie and goes to Benjamin’s’ baseball game.
F. The Shock final page: Andrea tells Meagan she can have Josh and be a mother to her kids. She’s going to concentrate on her career.
2. Choose your favorite: E. The “One last gesture” final page: The network wants someone from WBEN to cover a story for them. Andrea chooses her family over her job. She gives the story to Joannie and goes to Benjamin’s’ baseball game.
Final page:
INT. – NEWSROOM – DAY
Andrea sits at her desk. The newsrooms is a beehive of activity. The President is coming to town.
Tom frantically runs out of his office and up to Andrea’s desk.
TOM
ANDREA! Julia just fainted. She’s on her way to the hospital. Can you go cover the rally? The network is picking up our broadcast. I need someone who knows what they’re doing.
Andrea considers this for a moment, then stands up and grabs her purse.
ANDREA
Do you know who could handle this just as well as me?
Tom scrunches up his forehead in confusion.
TOM
Who?
ANDREA
Joannie.
Tom is taken aback.
TOM
Seriously?
ANDREA
Yes. Totally.
Andrea walks out of the newsroom as Tom watchers her, his jaw on the floor.
EXT. – BASEBALL FIELD – LATER
Andrea, Josh and Chloe sit in the stands. Benjamin is on the pitcher’s mound.
He throws a fast ball to the hitter.
UMPIRE
ST-RIKE THREE!
Andrea, Josh, Chloe and everyone around them go crazy. That’s the last out. The game is won.
CHLOE
Go Benjamin!
Andrea looks at Josh. He catches her looking him. Their eyes lock, then they kiss.

1. Take a look at your final pages and write up a paragraph showing how each of these could possibly work for your story.
A. The Setup / Payoff final page. Accusations against personal and social crimes are couched in a family-friendly circle looking at photos of Ibrahim’s and Leo/BB/Betty’s better days. This would necessitate my setting up this historical methodology of Anahu’s after midpoint. As he studies the crimes of Northeast serial killers and leaders or organizations that commit genocide, he collects photo albums and social media postings of their better days, showing humor, friendship, service, anything good, because it is the seeds of goodness that cloak their badness and lead to victims’ sadness. Then I could make the trial less expository because the bad guys would think they are still liked and appreciated. Anahu could sympathize with motives. But then they confess and that is the payoff.
B. The Contrast final page. Everyone agrees to cooperate, be peaceful, work hard, never kill again, but Betty and Ibrahim suddenly attack Jake and Litonya and there is a brutal bloody fight where some are killed.
C. The Climax/Resolution final page There is an earthquake that causes a landslide on the Palisades so everyone is crushed by rocks.
D. The “Something good is going to come out of this mess” final page. Kisele and Delphine vow to work for Green Globals against STEMGARCHS and Litonya and Jake live happily ever after as long as time stops.
E. The “One last gesture” final page. Betty kills herself and Ibrahim with the kind of stick she used for years.
F. The Shock final page
After everyone is sure Ibrahim wants to live forever, he pulls out a secret soundless gun and kills Betty and himself as the boat lands. His will gives money and power to the kids. He dies with a good global reputation.Anahu searches Ibrahim’s office and pulls out a photo album.
ANAHU
If you just castigate criminals, you never understand their power. Look at these beautiful images.They gather round to see pictures of Ibrahim, Sandrine, and the triplets lined up for their bike brigade on the rail trail and the Minnewaska and Mohonk carriage roads, Ibrahim with De Blasio, Trump, Biden, Bloomberg, and a plethora of politicians and celebrities at events, masked and mask-less, secular and religious, BB and Joe in fire hats receiving awards from the Mayor’s office for their work cleaning up the Summit collapse after Hurricane Ida, and Betty on the dock, sorting a string of fish.
KISELE
I like that one the best! Betty looks like Jesus about to turn his two sardines into a feast for thousands.BETTY
And I cook better than Jesus ever did.Silence. Kisele and Delphine have tears in their eyes.
BETTY
I am an old woman. My best days are over. I want to choreograph my death the way Hitler did. Only no cyanide or gunshots for me. This poison tastes delicious. I will eat more of it and rock myself in the boat back to the womb. As for Ibrahim, he must be killed because he has too much responsibility to do it himself.JAKE
No one else wants to be a murderer but you.BETTY
I have never used a gun and lack the stick strength I used to have. He knows this is poison, so he won’t eat more.LITONYA
We still have his estate in the Will, but STEMGARCHS would investigate his death.KISELE
Or could Ibrahim be trusted to make me his prodigy?DELPHINE
I was always his prodigy. But doing some lab work with musical comedy is enough. I don’t want to fly around the world and get involved in depopulation.KISELE
Mom thought I would save the world and I will try in my own small way, but I can’t be CEO of STEMGARCHS like Ibrahim. I have never even been overseas. Like Betty, I love boats around here. But STEMGARCHS must be exposed just as Hitler was exposed.AANADI
I want to be a country doctor like Grandma Joan, not a world leader for the rest of my life.ANAHU
And I want to be a history prof like Grandpa Jean and neither of us want to live forever. We don’t need Ibrahim’s toxic power.NIKOS
Orhan and I don’t mind living past 2060 because we are philosophically resilient enough to handle anything.JAKE
Fine. But we need a constant supply of the Brain Buffet. Could we keep Ibrahim, inject him with something so that he is a perennial Ted Talks guy promoting Brain Buffet for everyone the way they gave out COVID vaccines in the States?ANAHU
He is still responsible for the deaths of millions like Hitler, Mao, Stalin, Mussolini, Trujillo, Genghis Khan, Attila the Hun,JAKE
So what do we do? So what is the moral lesson? If you have the courage to kill people and yourself, you can die well at the right time?Suddenly Ibrahim pulls out a small, soundless gun and extinguishes himself but is stopped before he kills Betty. Betty eats more of her poisoned food.
EXT. INWOOD COVE – NIGHT
Jake, Litonya, and the kids put Betty on her boat as her lights are going out. She gently rocks herself to death.FLASHBACK to a shot of Bobby rocking in the womb.
JAKE
I am shaking as the earth is quaking and we are aching, but our kids are baking and making love.
Last image is that of Kisele giving a lecture at All Souls Church like Ibrahim did.
KISELE
Yes, our Bright Space Brain Buffet is for all souls…Delphine leads a communal dance.
Conclusion Fate marries Will at least for now.
EXT. HUDSON RIVER – DAY
We transform to survive. We transform as we die.The rocks shake and let loose another shower of igneous rocks into the river, killing Ibrahim and Jake.

Armand final page!
What I learned…
Of course, you want to give a sense of completion with your last page, but you also need to satisfy your audience’s needs in three areas:
– Surprising
– Inevitable
– Meaningful
FINAL PAGES THAT END MEANINGFULLY
I’m going to give you six examples of final pages that provide meaning as they conclude the script. They are:
A. The Setup / Payoff final page.
B. The Contrast final page.
C. The Climax/Resolution final page.
D. The “Something good is going to come out of this mess” final page.
E. The “One last gesture” final page.
F. The Shock final page
Try on these structures for your final page.
1. Take a look at your final pages and write up a paragraph showing how each of these could possibly work for your story.
A. The Setup / Payoff final page.
Set up that Tyler dreams he could have been brave and saved his friends, and he does it in the end saving Maddie and the others.
B. The Contrast final page.
The ghost stays in the manor forever, but now has friends living there and also, befriends other ghosts.
C. The Climax/Resolution final page.
The killer is finally defeated, Tyler moves on.
D. The “Something good is going to come out of this mess” final page.
– Doesn’t work for my script
E. The “One last gesture” final page.
Tyler can move on having defeated the killer, but he uses his after-life power to give Lex life and will remain as a ghost forever.
F. The Shock final page
Not applicable.
INT. MANOR – NIGHT
The killer’s dead body is on the ground. Dallas sits next to Lex’s dead body.
Tyler starts moving on. Maddie notices.
TYLER
What is it?
MADDIE
It’s happening.
Tyler glances at Lex’s body. He walks up to her.
DALLAS
What are you doing?
TYLER
What’s right.
Tyler reaches for Lex’s face. Maddie stops him—
MADDIE
If you do this…
TYLER
I’ll never leave the manor. But that’s okay.
Maddie sobs. Tyler caresses her cheek. She smiles through the tears.
TYLER
Do me a favor. Live. Okay?
Maddie nods as Tyler touches Lex. He dissolves into thin air.
Lex coughs, waking up.
Maddie and Dallas comfort Lex.
LEX
Where’s Tyler?
They say nothing.
Tyler observes them right there, but they can’t see him anymore. He smiles, still a ghost, but resting in peace.

Budinscak Final Page
Day 7
What I learned doing this assignment:
o Never just ‘wrap it up’.
o The tremendous importance of the last page – and to make it meaningful.
o First page compelling, last page meaningful.
o To satisfy the audience’s needs in 3 areas – surprising, inevitable and meaningful.
o 6 options for the final page.
Final Page Options:
THE SETUP/PAYOFF FINAL PAGE:
With all the help along the way from upstate NY to Burbank for a trip with the theme of life and family, the last page is a celebration in current times. Our story begins in 1988 with the trip to Burbank, but ends in the present with everyone involved with making the trip a success enjoying a “Family RE-union” at the restaurant back in upstate NY – and everyone attends. By everyone, any character in the movie joins the celebration.
THE CONTRAST FINAL PAGE:
Start the last page on an upbeat note of escaping the clutches of Don Vito and his men. Our trio of Jack, Puck and Sal make it back to JFK to pick up their mothers, and the nephews are excited about their newfound relationship with their uncle. As a matter of fact, they cover for Uncle Jack when their mothers question him on the ride home. They get back to upstate NY and find Carmine’s has been burned to the ground.
THE CLIMAX/RESOLUTION FINAL PAGE:
Jack and his nephews battle to get to the Burbank destination on time to save his restaurant, but once there, Don Vito says Jack can only save one – the restaurant or his nephews. Through shrewd negotiation and luck, the nephews are fine, the restaurant is saved and Don Vito is now a silent majority partner for the roll out of Carmine’s, a fast food franchise Italian concept opportunity.
THE SOMETHING GOOD IS GOING TO COME OUT OF THS MESS FINAL PAGE:
After scrambling to make it on time and just missing the deadline, Jack finds out that water damage has destroyed most of Carmine’s, he was not able to make it to JFK to pick up his sisters, but … eating at a Bob’s Big Boy in Burbank, Sal and Puck were discovered and signed by a talent scout to be the models for a new children’s series.
THE ONE LAST GESTURE FINAL PAGE:
After surviving the trip with his nephews and saving the restaurant, Jack forgives the debt Jack incurred ‘stealing’ from Don Vito. Jack offers the Don a piece of PZN – the Psychic Zealots Network – the company Jack shares with LC and started with money Jack stole from Don Vito. And it’s a success!
THE SHOCK FINAL PAGE:
Jack makes it all the way to Burbank on time and he’s told by Don Vito that he’s going to burn the restaurant to the ground anyway – for the fact Jack has stolen from him. In front of his nephews, Jack grabs a bodyguard’s gun, kills the bodyguard, locks Don Vito in a casket alive and burns the Burbank funeral home to the ground

Rob Bertrand’s Final Page
What I learned: I learned that the first page and last page are the most important pages of your screenplay. I also learned to avoid the temptation to wrap things up with on the nose exposition. Something I am very guilty of doing.
A. The Setup / Payoff final page.
Set up through the 1st and 2nd Act that Danny is longing for acceptance and connection. He wants to find the perfect family that “gets him.” After receiving a letter from Annie, we hear it over voice over, as Danny is found missing from his hospital room. Annie’s letter is a letter of forgiveness, telling Danny to stay away from her family, but hopeful that he finds the sense of belonging he hopes for. The scene ends with a brand new family entering their house with groceries. The family is oblivious to the signs…things moved around. Cereal bowl on the kitchen table. The teenage daughter takes a shower, only to reveal a heart drawn in the steam on the mirror. Danny has chosen a new family.
B. The Contrast final page.
First page: Annie wakes from a nightmare when she hears her dead mother say, “Let’s go kiddo, you’ve got a life to live.
Last page: Annie recieves word that Danny has escaped the mental hospital and has a panic attack. She finds her father, who’s wrapping up with an Alarm Technician. They’ve installed a state of art home security system with cameras everywhere. Jack calms her down. Jessica wants to give Annie her present. The Andrew’s family exits the house, only it’s not the house we’re used to. We see palm trees and sun. They moved to California. Jack hands Annie a set of keys to a new car. “Let’s go kiddo, you’ve got a life to live.”
C. The Climax/Resolution final page.
In the driveway, a paramedic attends to Jack on a stretcher, preparing to load him in an ambulance. Annie and Jessica by his side. They watch has police bring Danny out of the house, handcuffed to a stretcher. He’s raving like a lunatic. Annie comes out to her father, who’s accepting. Jessica asks if they can move. “abso-fuckin’lutely…”
D. The “Something good is going to come out of this mess” final page.
Annie’s final meeting with her guidance counselor, Robin. Jack and Jessica are also in attendance. Annie’s received a letter from the favorite college she applied to. She opens it but can’t bring herself to read it. Robin reads it. It’s an acceptance letter. Annie and Robin are overjoyed. Annie has chosen to become a psychiatrist. She wants to help kids and be a guiding light.
E. The “One last gesture” final page.
A few months after the incident with Danny, life has returned to normal for the Andrew’s family. Annie is packing for college, when Jessica says dad wants to see her outside. Annie finds Jack standing in the driveway, where they have a heartfelt conversation. Jack promises that everything will be okay with Annie leaving. He’ll take good care of Jessica, while she’s at college. Jack hands Annie a set of car keys. “What’s this?” Jack wants Annie to be able to visit whenever she wants. Pressing the garage remote, the door slides up to reveal a very special car. It was Annie’s mom’s car. Jack completely restored it.
F. The Shock final page
A new house with a new family. A mother bakes cookies in the kitchen. Dad watches football, snoozing on the couch. Young siblings run in from the backyard, fighting over who won a game. The oldest sister takes a shower. She’s shocked to find a heart drawn in the steam on the mirror. Leaning close to investigate, a hand shoots through the mirror and grabs her by the throat. Smash to black.
SCENE
INT. ANNIE’S ROOM – DAY
The bright spring sun, shines through the window as Annie packs a suitcase.
Jessica bursts in.
JESSICA
Dad wants you!ANNIE
What does he want?A devious smile plays across Jessica’s face.
JESSICA
I dunno…She disappears out the door before Annie can grill her more.
EXT. DRIVEWAY – ANDREW’S HOUSE – DAY
Jack kneels down and straightens an alarm company sign prominently displayed in his grass.
Annie emerges from the front door and approaches. Jessica watches from the window.
ANNIE
Hey, pops. You looking for me?JACK
Hey, kiddo. Yeah. You all packed?Annie shrugs.
ANNIE
I feel like I’m starting my life over.JACK
No. Not over. You’re just starting a new adventure, that’s all.ANNIE
Yeah…JACK
You scared?ANNIE
Me? Of course not––Annie catches herself.
ANNIE
Actually? Yes. I’m scared to death. My whole life was in this house…JACK
Ah, well…this house will always be your home, Annie. But it’s time you left the nest. The rest of your life is waiting for you to find it. Don’t be scared…be curious.ANNIE
Be curious.JACK
The first Andrew’s in this family to go to college! Your mom would be so proud. You’re going to be a wonderful psychiatrist.ANNIE
Will you and Jessica be okay?Jack pulls Annie in for a hug.
JACK
Jessica and I are going to be just fine. I’ll take good care of her, I promise.ANNIE
It’s just so far away…you know?JACK
I know. But I have a plan for that.Jack pulls a garage remote from his pocket and hits the button. The garage door raises to reveal a classic Ford Mustang, candy apple red. Nora’s car, fully restored.
ANNIE
You fixed it?JACK
Yeah. All those times I said I had to work late? I was working on this, with your uncle Tommy. Your mom, she would’ve wanted you to have this.There are no words, only tears as they stream down Annie’s face. She throws her arms around Jack and won’t let go.
ANNIE
Thank you.JACK
Now you can visit anytime you want.Jack hands Annie the keys.
Annie inspects the car, running her hand along the hood. Jessica joins her family.
JESSICA
Do you like it?ANNIE
It’s so beautiful…Jack opens the drivers door.
JACK
Let’s go, kiddo. You’ve got a life to liveAnnie climbs in, inserts the key and the engine roars to life.
CUT TO:
INT. KITCHEN – JOHNSON HOUSE – DAY
A WOMAN, late 30s, with expertly styled hair and freshly manicured nails, carries an armload of groceries into the kitchen. She rolls her eyes at a cereal bowl left on the kitchen table. She followed by her BRATTY KID, 10, who carries the smallest bag.
WOMAN
What did I tell you about leaving your dishes out?The kid is instantly offended.
BRATTY KID
I didn’t!INT. BATHROOM – JOHNSON HOUSE – DAY
Music plays from a bluetooth speaker on the counter as the shower fills the room with steam.
The CLUELESS TEEN girl, 18, lets water run down her face, oblivious to the shadow lurking outside her shower curtain.
She shuts the water off, rips the curtain open to reveal a heart drawn in steam on the mirror.
She thinks nothing of it.
INT. BEDROOM – JOHNSON HOUSE – DAY
The Clueless Teen sits at a Vanity, brushing her hair. In the reflection we see her closet door open.
FADE OUT
THE END
-
Hi, Rob!
I think the shock ending works beautifully. Leaves open ended: Is Danny still in the house, is it Annie’s mother’s ghost, or another entity unrelated but present. It explains those times when what appears earlier as paranormal activity were not Danny at all but perhaps an unrelated entity in the house. Refresh my memory: Does Danny die? Could it be his apparition and activity. Anyway, yes, it is a shock and a cliff hanger. Do you plan on a sequel?
Be well, be safe.
Bob Smith
-
Danny is taken into custody after the climax of the story, but he escapes custody. The ending is to signify that Danny has become obsessed with a new family and that he will continue to “haunt” houses as a living person. Setting up a sequel, yes. But I also feel like it stands on its own

Janeen’s Final Page!
What I learned doing this assignment is that my story was bland and coming up with a better final page has given me three different directions I can take with it. Each of them will change my opening and turning points in different ways. I have some evaluation and rewrites to do. Good thing I’m still in the beat sheet stage with most of my script!
The Setup / Payoff final page: <div>In the opening scene, Morgan’s husband dismisses her Waterman Method work as a silly hobby, something to keep her busy. It’s clear he sees her as arm candy, a child to be indulged.
After her Waterman work gives a number of women the courage and confidence they need to find a way out of abusive situations (including one killing her husband in a rather calculated way), he volunteers to testify in court that she cannot have been an accessory to the murder because her Waterman work is nonsense. Morgan goes home and does some Waterman work to make her husband value and appreciate her Waterman work.Final Page: A few weeks after she is exonerated, she is doing Waterman at a slightly larger desk. The niche she has been in has been converted to a cozy reading area. Her husband gets her attention, apologizes for interrupting her work and asks her to join him on the sofa when she’s finished. He’d like to consult her on something in his next book.
<div>
B. The Contrast final page:
A. Morgan gives Amber confidence and empowerment to do something to get away from her husband. The “something” turns out to be murdering him. Morgan is charged with incitement to murder.
B. Final Page: Morgan is exonerated from the charges. Then, later, at home, her husband asks why she is still “doing that nonsense” when he sees her doing Waterman at her little desk in his study. Cut to her doing waterman in her walk in closet, a look of disdain on her face whenever she looks toward the door of the closet — obviously disgusted with her husband
C. The Climax/Resolution final page.
A. Setup — Morgan is arrested for incitement to violence, goes to court with a complex trial strategy.
B. Final Page: Morgan is exonerated. Simply end there.
D. The “Something good is going to come out of this mess” final page:
A. Setup — Students of Waterman know that their work accomplishes their goals. The establishment doesn’t believe it is real, can’t prove it is not, tries to use it as a scapegoat.
B. Final Page: Morgan is vindicated and exonerated and so is Amber. Maybe this is the new model for fighting abuse, but at what cost to the practitioners. Look what Morgan went through. Vilifying Amber and Daniel gets Morgan off, vilifying Morgan gets Amber off.
E. The One Last Gesture final page:
A. Setup — Amber is enraged when she hears that the guild had empowered her to fight back or protect herself. She has become a murderer because of them.
B. Final Page — Amber recommends someone contact the guild for help.
F. The Shock final page:
A. Setup — Morgan is furious with Daniel and how he never takes her ideas for improvements to his designs unless he can claim them as his own ideas. She plots to have Amber kill him as a means of revenge — she was looking for a way to murder him all along?? Wow!
B. Final Page — Morgan looks at a picture of someone else who has thwarted or argued with her and says, “You’re next.”
</div></div>

Pablo’s Final Page
What I learned: I may just blend a little bit from here and there. Use the final gesture as a setup/payoff and tie it up with “Something good will come…” These were very helpful gear turning exercises.
A. The Setup / Payoff final page.
Early in the film, Antonio and Andres don’t always do what they are told and don’t always complete their chores. Irma is constantly telling her sons: “One day, I won’t be around. And you both will have to figure things out on your own.” At the end of the film, when Irma realizes the only chance her sons have to make it across the border is if she lures the drones away from them she tells the line one last time.
B. The Contrast final page.
Irma comes up with a plan to light the abandoned house on fire so the smoke would cover them as they dash to the border. The plan works and when they make it across, there are no border patrol officers waiting. They were home free but then Frank shows up. He knew where they were the whole time because of the poker chip tracker and he shows to personally ensure that he keeps his deal with the US border patrol. Nobody makes it across.
C. The Climax/Resolution final page.
TBD
D. The “Something good is going to come out of this mess” final page.
After Irma is killed, her sons are taken to into government custody. As minors without a guardian, the US is obliged to care for them until the age of 18 when they will be deported back. There are foster programs available and after Irma’s story becomes a national news story, many families reach out. The boys are on their own, but there will be some help.
E. The “One last gesture” final page.
Irma constantly resists slapping Antonio for his arrogance, rudeness and disobedience. She doesn’t believe in violence. She raises a hand but never follows through. In their final moments together, after she realizes that she must lure the drones away to save her children, Antonio says something negative and Irma slaps him across the face. A solid smack. Shocked, Antonio is about to cry out and she smacks him again. IRMA: “That was for all the mistakes you’ve made. I gave you another for ones to come.” Antonio realizes what she means. They share a long embrace and she runs away from the border.
F. The Shock final page
When they cross the border, they are met with spotlights, cameras and an audience. They come to find out that they are actually on a televised game show. Because they are the finalists, they win US citizenship. Anyone who actually makes it alive earns a US passport. Antonio and Andres are celebrities for a week before their story gets buried under the daily memes and tweets. This was not what they expected.

PS 80 Michelle Damis Final Page
What I learned doing this assignment is that last pages can be a combo too. Or can be spot on. This assignment shows you the choices and how to make sure you nail it.
A. The Setup / Payoff final page. Most of my set-ups and payoffs occur before the final page. With the exception of Osgood having a vial of Jims blood to “die” when he is truly ready.
B. The Contrast final page.: I could do this one by starting the page with Osgood dead. The Goodbye at the Sun then go to current time with the explanation. This is what I’ve been leaning towards but I don’t know that it will actually fit on “one” page.
I could also start the page with Osgood alive in current time but finally moving on with the gift of Jim’s blood.
C. The Climax/Resolution final page. This can mostly happen with the Contrast ending as well. At the beginning he explains that he is “done: with existence but now he has the ability to be done but now has purpose.
D. The “Something good is going to come out of this mess” final page. This is basically part of the story too….out of the tragedy of vampires a way to save the planet and humanity is found. What was once thought of as evil is the savior.
E. The “One last gesture” final page. This one is covered by my plan already in the sense that Jim passed on a last gesture to Osgood in his blood.
F. The Shock final page: I could do something funny like insinuate that Elon Musk is a vampire.(or an Elon Musk type figure)Tie it to something really going on.

Emmanuel’s Final Page
The final page is often the most exciting part to write. There are so many ways to create an impactful ending. Just watched a movie that had a shock final page/ending.
