LESSON 23: DR. AMADOR’S Key Scene 4: Resolution – Wrap it up and show us the “new normal.”
***What I learned from this resolution was that I found it moving even though it will be re-written. Nonetheless, I was able to show an actual “new normal” of my lead character living in his new ways!
EXT. WHITE HOUSE LAWN – DAY
BEGINNING: ROBERT IS ON white house lawn. The president makes moving speech: “Dr.Robert Augustus Amador, I sincerely apologize for having doubted you, for trying to arrest you
CHUCKLES AND LAUGHS are heard from standing spectators witnessing history.
and not trusting in your valor. for this I honor you with the medal of freedom for your historic contribution to not just our country but for the benefit of all mankind. . .
APPLAUSE from spectators.
MIDDLE: ON TV
ROBERT’S DAUGHTER JUMPS INTO HIS ARMS, HE HUGS HER AND SWINGS HER AROUND.
spectators continue APPLAUDING.
INT. ROSE HAYDN PLANATARIUM NYC – DAY
END: ROBERT IS GIVING SPEACH. ANXIOUS YOUNG astronomers hang on to his every word.
He looks up at the giant crystal stars dangling from the ceiling. He begins to tear up.

2145: spaceships powered by clean hydrogen fly in and out of major Earth cities into space. The planet has been saved from destruction: clean cities powered by clean energy glisten, happy families walk on elevated bridges over abundant wheat fields, they pause at a giant statue of Dr. Robert Amador, savior of mankind.

ACT4:
OUTLINE: RESOLUTION:
SLUG: INT–MARK’S NEW HOME, FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA–DAY
BEGINNING: Feeling the pressure from companies Reilly advises and outrage from public humiliation Reilly suffers a hemorrhagic stroke and eventually dies 30 days later, but not before he learns Mark has placed a ‘false flag’ lien on his house to push Reilly into the next afterlife. The CIA acknowledges wrongdoing towards Mark and the Director of Central Intelligence for the CIA orders the release of all 45 cases involving child pornography and sex trafficking of children the Agency has not prosecuted, but for two.
MIDDLE: Mark is contemplating running for office a second time using his new found fame to be an advocate for Whistleblowers, in addition to campaigning again for the Discarded and Forgotten (low income, the impoverish, the homeless, foster care children and the middle class). Mark has also decided to pursue setting up transitioning center to move the homeless from the streets to assist in rebuilding their lives.
END: Mark no longer feels discarded, nor forgotten, but instead accepts himself. His faith in himself, self esteem, self worth is restored. Mark is at peace finally with himself. Meanwhile, Mark pays a visit to Reilly’s grave site weeks later and lets his dog pee and poop on Reilly’s grave just about where Reilly’s head would be. Mark takes his dog’s lead and takes a piss too….right between the eyes. Justice has finally prevailed 16 years later. Mark looks back on the time when God must have heard him, ‘while in the trenches’ asking God to call in more fire support because his ass was being handed to him.

ASSIGNMENT #23
The Resolution: What I learned doing this assignment was that at this point I just was able to write one of my resolution scenes without outlining it. It poured out of me onto the page. That was fun.
1. Outline Key Scene 4.
SCENE WITH MARK AND CARLA IN LIVING ROOM
Mark is leaving on another work trip. He is sorry. He does not want their marriage to end. Neither does Carla. Trust will be hard to win back. She tells him Harriet is a part of her. He knows. He likes that part and hopes to get to keep Harriet around she is clearly good for Carla.
2. Write Key Scene 4: Resolution – Wrap it up and show us the “new normal.”
3. Write any other scenes for the Act or do some edits on scenes if you’ve completed every scene you outlined.
4. Answer the question “What I learned doing this assignment is…?” and put it at the top of your work.

Lesson 23
Trish’s Act 3 (4) Resolution
What I learned doing this assignment is that this act is likely way too short. It’s all I’ve got for now though, as far as plot.
1. Outline Key Scene 4.
Key Scene 4: Resolution – Wrap it up and show us the new status quo.
EXT. LAKE PATH – DAY
Lucas tells Emma he’s going to ask the family if he can start a scholarship or program in the guy’s name to bring back his good name. Lucas will start writing fiction or something.
She admits how helpful it was to partner with Lucas on this adventure (?).
EMMA
I’ve gotta go. Some calls to make. Some apologies to make.
LUCAS
I guess people can change. Look at us.
EMMA
Only when they’re good and ready.
INT. HOTEL ROOM – DAY
Emma calls her dad and gives him an update. She apologizes for losing touch. He does too. She says how she felt abandoned after Mom died. He didn’t know. He feels terrible. They make plans to get together.
She cries after she hangs up. Freshens up, then calls her ex and apologizes for her part in their breakup. Maybe they consider giving it another go. She hints that she’ll quit her job. Find something less stressful.
2. Write Key Scene 4: Resolution – Wrap it up and show us the “new normal.”
Will do later.
3. Write any other scenes for the Act or do some edits on scenes if you’ve completed every scene you outlined.
