Kitten Waltz

SC.11 EXT. Kids and their caretakers play on a playground. Day

There's a loop of the waltz playing in the background. The loop
Is weird and eerie

Lily: Daddy, I wanna dance!
Daddy: Darling, sweetheart... You can't be doing that
Lily: But why, Daddy?
Daddy: This dance requires both legs, darling
Lily: [sobbing] But who cares?
Daddy: Well... People will be watching
Lily: Tell them it's ok. They have to understand it's ok!
Daddy: [sighs] I can't risk my reputation...
Lily: Daddy, you're a moron!

The waltz starts playing. The playground ambiance gradually fades into the music. Then it fades in back again when the track is over. A southerner who played the waltz walks up to Daddy

SC.11.1

Morgan: Hey! Howdy, man. I'm Morgan
Daddy: Howdy to you, Morgan. Nice to meet you. I'm Dan
Morgan: Nice, Dan. May I call you Danny? Like the Shining Danny...
Daddy: What's the Shining?
Morgan: Ah... Forget it. You don't have it anyway. [after a pause] I wanna ask you something, man
Daddy: Talk to me
Morgan: I was playing this waltz for years. And kids were dancing... Ha! My lil Jack and Jill danced to it. Kids got dizzy, that's how they danced!
Daddy: Those two blondes?
Morgan: Yeah. Sweet kids. I love them, man! [pauses] Your lil girl didn't dance. Why? All kids had fun
Daddy: Well...
Morgan: Tell me
Daddy: There's a problem. She thinks she has one leg
Morgan: Jesus Christ! How come?
Daddy: I don't know, man. I keep saying she's wrong, but she wouldn't listen
Morgan: Ah! This is a very strange world, Danny. I thought you might have that Shining thing. But you haven't. Your girl thinks she has one leg. But she has both. Strange world, man. Very strange
