SOUND of WAVES crashing

          Fade in:

          EXT. BEACH - DAY

          CORY stands facing a surreal, dream-like beach setting. The skyline
          is a beautiful orange, over soft blue oceans. A few feet of
          sands lay in front of him. He stands tall, like a statue,
          wearing a bleak, BLACK SUIT, waiting patiently.

          The waves are crashing, decorated by faint sounds of
          seagulls chirping.

          His head turns right, just catching the sight of Charmaine off
          screen.

                              CORY
                         (overly exaggerated)
                    Charmaine, I didn't think you'd
                    come. It's been... (looks at watch)
                    2 minutes! What took you so long?

          CHARMAINE, with long blond hair blowing over a fake windy breeze,
          glides onto screen, wearing a bright RED DRESS. She floats magically
          toward him--without footsteps--and meets Cory on the
          shoreline. A small, PAPER NOTE flaps in her left hand.

                              CHARMAINE
                         (sappy, apologetic)
                    Oh Cory, I'm so sorry. I'm such a
                    slow reader (referring to the
                    note). But when I saw the words
                    "ice cream on the beach," I ran as
                    fast as I could. (like a child)
                    Now, where's my ice cream???

                              CORY
                    Oh Charmaine. Today, I have
                    something far better than ice cream
                    for you. Look (points up), over
                    there.

          Charmaine turns her head, looking up. Whatever could it be?

          There, in the distance, up in the sky, a small BI-PLANE glides
          by from the right. Flapping on its tail is a small BANNER.
 
                              CHARMAINE
                         (confused)
                    OK, I see a small airplane...
                    What's that thing on its tail?

                              CORY
                    What does it say?

          She takes a closer look.

          It's not an advertisement, the banner actually reads:

          "CHARMAINE, WILL YOU MARRY ME?"

          Charmaine, taken in by an overwhelming shock and surprise, her
          face blushing, mouth speechless. She turns around, heart
          still pounding, pulsing blood up to her face.

          Cory's knees dug into the sand, hunched over, arms pouching forward,
          holding a small black box in both hands. His eyes look up to
          meet her gaze. He opens the box.

                              CORY
                    Charmaine Young, will you marry me?

          Charmaine, eyes as wide as gumballs, blushing, takes a deep breath.

                              CHARMAINE
                    Yes! Yes! Yes! Cory Rostein, I will
                    marry you!

          Corey gets up as they hurry together for a kiss.

          PAN UP to fill the scene with blue skies. We hear the sounds of
          CLAPPING, CHEERING from nearby beach patrons.

          The distant plane flies off screen to the left.

          FADE TO WHITE

          FADE FROM WHITE

          MED CU on the hand of Cory (on left) and Charmaine (on right).
          Their hands are locked in love over the surreal beach waters
          and skies, as they stand together reflecting on this moment.
