Of course it's okay, it's your room.

TONY

Oh yeah, I almost forgot.

He enters.

INT. HOTEL ROOM

piano, wetbar, everything... very posh.

TONY

Wow, what a layout!

(spots vase with bouquet of roses)

Hey, who are the flowers for?

Tony walks over to flowers and reads note to himself.

INSERT NOTE

“To Tony and Anna -- Have a wonderful weekend, “if you know what I mean” -- Andy Kaufman

BACK TO TONY

Feeling very uncomfortable at Kaufman's insinuation and at the flowers themselves. He takes his flowers and hides them behind his back.

ANNA

Is that for me?

TONY

What?

ANNA

Those flowers you're holding behind your back.

TONY

Oh, that.

(pulling out flowers)

It's nothin'. It's just some old...

ANNA

Daisies are my favorite flowers.

TONY

(excited)

They are?

(sheepishly)

They're for you then.

(hands her flowers)

ANNA

They're beautiful. Thank you, Tony.

She kisses Tony gently on the cheek.

TONY

(flustered)

Well... let's see... you're here...

I could hardly believe it... I'm

sorta at a loss for words...

What would ya like ta do?

ANNA

We can do whatever you want.

Isn't your TV show on this evening?

TONY

(unenthusiastic)

Oh, that.

ANNA

Tony, what's the matter?

TONY

Well... ta tell ya the truth, Anna...

I'm gettin' a little sick a... Tony Clifton.

ANNA

Tony, one should never be sick of oneself.

TONY

It's just that Kaufman's got me doin

Things -- things that I would never even do.

ANNA

Tony, you should do what you want to do.

A man should do what makes him happy.

What makes you happy?

TONY

I don't even know any more...

ANNA

Well, think.

TONY

... Well, ah... you make me happy...

ANNA

Besides me, Tony.

TONY

Well... I don't know... let's see,

Amusement parks make me happy.

When I was a kid, I used ta go all the time.

ANNA

There you are. What else?

TONY

Let's see... amusement parks...

Bugsy and Aunty Deb make me happy.

We used ta do a lot a laughin '...

Before this big star business.

ANNA

Well, there you have it. Go to an

Amusement park. Go see your friends.

You have money now, you can do what

You want. Have some fun.

TONY

Yeah, fun. That's what I should do.

Have some fun. Have a few laughs,

A few chuckles.

ANNA

That's the spirit!

TONY

Will you come with me?

ANNA

Of course I will.

TONY

(excited)

You will? Great! Let's see, the first thing

I'm gonna do is get outta this outfit and

Put on somethin' a little less conspicuous.

Excuse me, darlin', I'll be right back.

Tony goes into the bedroom.

TONY

(o.s.)

It'll be just like old times...

the ferris wheel, cotton candy...

I'll even win ya a kewpie doll...

I'll see Bugsy, Aunty Deb...

There is a knock on the door. Anna walks over and opens it. In walks a Waiter in tails, wheeling a cart full of caviar and champagne.

WAITER

(very proper)

Good evening, miss.

ANNA

I don't believe we ordered anything.

Tony walks out in an outfit that is even more conspicuous than the tux -- orange ascot, bright red pants, an iridescent shirt, etc.

WAITER

(shocked at Tony's attire)

My word!

TONY

What's all this?

WAITER

Compliments of Mr. Kaufman.

TONY

Oh, Kaufman again.

(gets idea)

I'll tell ya what, my good man...

I want ya ta sit right down here...

(sits Waiter at table)

Have yourself a little champagne and

Caviar -- make yourself right at home.

Here, take your shoes off.

Tony takes Waiter's shoes off.

WAITER

But sir, this is quite out of the ordinary.

Anna giggles.

TONY

That's right, it is quite outta

Da ordinary, isn't it? Lemme ask

ya... what makes you happy?

WAITER

I beg your pardon, sir?

TONY

What do you do ta have fun?

WAITER

Fun... well, I don't have fun, sir.

TONY

No fun?! Well, you're gonna have

Fun tonight, pal. Here's the keys

To the room, it's good for the whole

Weekend. There's a limo and

driver downstairs... they're yours.

ANNA

Do you have a girl friend?

WAITER
I have a wife.

ANNA

Well, give her these.

Anna hands the Waiter the roses from Kaufman, then Tony and Anna begin to leave.

ANNA

Oh, I almost forgot...

She runs back and gets Tony's bouquet.

WAITER

But where are you going?

TONY

Ta win da little lady a kewpie doll.

Anna smiles.

FADE OUT

FADE IN

OPEN HIGHWAY - DAY

B.g. music up. Riding along the highway in a peach-colored '57 Chevy convertible, with its top down, are Tony and Anna. We can almost feel the warm country breeze, carrying with it the fresh euphoric scent of the wide open spaces. THIS is what life's all about.

MONTAGE OF TONY AND ANNA HAVING “FUN”

Water skiing, skeet shooting, riding horses; enjoying the rides at a county fair... Tony wins Anna a kewpie doll; late night dining and dancing.
