You Made a Bear

Fun Buffyverse Moments - "You made a bear!"





INTERIOR - UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON- 
DAHLGREN CHAPEL - DAY

The Bishop walks into the chapel, and walks to the aisle. 
When he reaches the aisle he bows 
and then approaches the altar. 
He places one of the boucuets in front of one statue, 
but as he turns to the camera he walks very slowly 
and we see him in shock as he gasps. 
We cut to what he has seen. 
It's the statue of the Virgin Mary, which has 
been horribly desecrated, by being given 
clay penis and pointing clay breasts.

INTERIOR - BELLEVUE PSYCHIATRIC 
HOSPITAL - HALLYWAY- DAY

We cut to Karras hurridly walking down 
a corridor being followed by his Uncle.

UNCLE
The edima affected her brain, you 
understand Dimmy? She don't 
let no Doctor come near her. 
She was all the time screaming
even talking to the radio.

KARRAS
You should have called me 
the minute it happened.

UNCLE
Listen, regular hospital not going 
to put up with her Dimmy, understand? 
So we give her a shot and bring her here, 
'till the doctors fix up her leg, then we take 
her out Dimmy, two or three months 
and she's out good as new.

They approach an office and Karras' Uncle 
walks in to speak to he nurse.

UNCLE
Miss?

NURSE
Yes?

UNCLE
We want to see Mrs. Karras.

NURSE
Do you have an appointment?

UNCLE
Yes

NURSE
Are you a relative?

UNCLE
Yes I am Her Brother
He's The Son

NURSE
Just a minute.

The grabs a set of keys and writes something in a note book. 
We then cut to Damien staring in the window of the ward. 
He's see's all sorts of people, all with mental problems.

UNCLE
You know it's funny. If You wasn't A Priest 
You'd be famous psychiatrist now on Park Avenue
Your Mother, she'd be living in 
penthouse instead of here.

The nurse unlocks the door and opens it. 
Damien looks at His Uncle.

UNCLE
You go in Dimmy. 
I wait for you outside.

Karras walks in and leaves 
His Uncle behind.

NURSE
You'll find Mrs. Karras on the 
last bed on the left hand side.

As Damien enters, a few of the patients rush toward him. 
Two of them grab him, as the nurse tries to get them away.
Damien barges them out of his way only to have 
another patient rush into him and take his collar. 
The nurse takes her away as bed-bound patients 
look on with arms out stretched. 
Damien approaches his mothers bed.

KARRAS
Momma? It's Dimmy momma.

Mrs. Karras slowly turns her eyes to him.

MRS. KARRAS
Dimmy. Why they did this 
to me Dimmy? Why?

Damien rushes to comfort his mother.

KARRAS

Momma, I'm gonna take you outta here momma.

Mrs. Karras struggles to turn away from him.

KARRAS

Momma I'm goona take you home.

Mrs. Karras shouts at him in Greek as Damien tries to comfort

her.

KARRAS

Momma, everything's gonna be alright momma, I'm gonna take you

home!

EXTERIOR- NEW YORK- CITY STREET- DAY

We cut to Damien talking to his Uncle face to face.

KARRAS

Couldn't you have put her some place else?

UNCLE

Like what? Private hospital? Who got the money for that Dimmy?

You?

INTERIOR- UNIVERSITY OF GEORGETOWN- BOXING GYM- DAY

We cut Damien taking his frustration out on a punch bag. He

throws a few hard punches before stopping for breath.

INTERIOR- DR. KLEIN'S EXAMINING ROOM- DAY

Brief montage of shots.

Klein administering a physical to Regan. Including opthalmoscope,

tuning fork and simple coordination tests. Also blood sample in

centrifograph, and urine sampl under microscope. Final shot has a

nurse with her back against the examining table, her expression

partly puzzled, partly disturbed as she observes Regan, who is in

her slip and in constant motion; stepping, twirling, touching,

making nervous movements whilst aimlessly humming. Klein is not

present.

INTERIOR- DR. KLEIN'S OFFICE- DAY

Chris is seated on the edge of a chair. Klein is behind his desk,

writing a prescription.

DR. KLEIN

A disorder of the nerves. At least we think it is. We don't know

yet exactly how it works, but it's often seen in earl

adolescence. She shows all the symptoms: the hyperactivity; the

temper; her performance in math.

CHRIS

Why the math?

DR. KLEIN

It affects concentration.

Here tears the prescription away from the pad.

DR. KLEIN

Now this is for Ritalin. Ten miligrams a day.

CHRIS

What is it? A tranquilizer?

DR. KLEIN

A stimulant.

CHRIS

Stimulant? She's higher than a kite right now!

DR. KLEIN

Her condition isn't quite what it seems. Nobody knows the cause

of her hyperkinetic behaviour in a child. The Ritalin sems to

work to relieve the condition, but we really don't know how or

why, frankly. Your daughter's symptoms could be an overreaction

to depression- but that's out of my field.

CHRIS

Depression?

DR. KLEIN

Well, you mentioned her father... the divorce.

CHRIS

Do you think I should take her to see a psychiatrist?

DR. KLEIN

Oh no. I'd wait and see what happens with the Ritalin. I think

that's the answer. Wait two or three weeks.

CHRIS

And those lies she's been telling?

DR. KLEIN

Lies?

CHRIS

Ya know, those things to get attention, like saying that her bed

shakes and stuff.

DR. KLEIN

Have you ever known your daughter to swear and use obscenities?

CHRIS

Never.

DR. KLEIN

Well, you see, that's quite similar to things like her lying-

uncharacter-

CHRIS

Wait a minute. What are you talking about?

DR. KLEIN

Well, she let loose quite a string while I was examining her,

Mrs. MacNeil.

CHRIS

You're kidding! Like what?

DR. KLEIN

Well, I'd say her vocabulary's rather extensive.

CHRIS

Well, what, for example? I mean, give me a for instance!

Klein shrugs. No reply.

CHRIS

Hey, come on, I'm grown-up. What'd she say? I mean specifically,

Doctor.

DR. KLEIN

Well, specifically, Mrs. MacNeil, she advised me to keep my

fingers away from her goddam cunt.

CHRIS

(shocked, laughing)

She used those words?

DR. KLEIN

She used those words. Look, I doubt that she even understood what

she was saying.

CHRIS

Yeah, I guess. Maybe not. You don't think a psychiatrist-?

DR. KLEIN

The best explanation is always the simplest one. Let's wait.

Let's wait and see. In the meantime try not to worry.

EXTERIOR- MACNEIL HOUSE- PROSPECT STREET- NIGHT

We see the house is lit up as there's a party going on inside. A

car pulls up before we enter.

INTERIOR- MACNEIL HOUSE- NIGHT

We see lots of people enjoying them selves, talking, laughing,

eating. Music playing and people having a good time. We see Burke

sitting on a couch with two people beside him, he's drunk and is

sat twirling his finger around in his drink.

BURKE

There seems to be an alien pubic hair in my Gin.

ASTRONAUT

I beg your pardon?

BURKE

Never seen it before in my life. Have you?

We see more people having fun, Regan laughing and we then cut to

Father Dyer, a young priest who is talking to the same guy Burke

was.

ASTRONAUT

Well actually Father, we're quite comfortable up there, at least

compared to the Gemini and Mercury program. So they were tight

for space, see we've got about two-hundred and ten cubic feet so

we can move around.

FATHER DYER

Listen, if you ever go up there again will you take me along?

ASTRONAUT

(laughs)

What for?

FATHER DYER

First missionary on mars.

We then cut to Burke who is approaching Karl, who is carrying a

tray of drinks.

BURKE

Tell me, was it public relations you done for the Gestapo or

community relations?

KARL

I'm Swiss.

BURKE

Yes of course. Never went bowling with Goebbels either I suppose

ah?

Karl walks away.

BURKE

Nazi bastard.

We cut to Chris who is talking to Father Dyer.

CHRIS

Over behind the church, you know where I mean over there, it's a

red brick wing?

FATHER DYER

St. Mike's.

CHRIS

What goes down there? I mean who's the priest I keep seeing, he's

there all the time. He has black hair and he's very intense

looking?

FATHER DYER

Damien Karras.

CHRIS

Karras.

FATHER DYER

That's his office back of St. Mike's. He's our psychiatric

counsellor. He had a pretty rough knock last night poor guy, his

mother passed away. She was living by herself and I guess she was

dead a couple of days before they found her.

We cut to the kitchen where Burke is once again taunting Karl.

BURKE

Cunting Hun! Bloody damn butchering Nazi pig!

Karl lunges at Burke and grabs him by the throat.

KARL

Bastard! I will kill you.

CHRIS

Karl!!

Chris, Sharon and Willie pull Karl away from Burke. Willie takes

him into another room.

KARL

You fiend!

Burke just laughs and claps his hands.

BURKE

What's for dessert?

INTERIOR- MACNEIL HOUSE- REGAN'S BEDROOM-NIGHT

We see Regan is tucked up in bed with her eyes closed. Chris

pulls the covers up to her shoulders.

CHRIS

Are you asleep?

There is no reply so Chris kisses her and exits. As Chris

disappears Regan's eyes open suddenly.

INTERIOR- MACNEIL HOUSE- NIGHT

We cut to Chris and Sharon who are trying to help (a very drunk)

Burke to the front door. Burke is trying to mumble a song. Sharon

opens the front door for him.

CHRIS
Listen Burke, your car is on 
the curbe. Luis is waiting...

Burke hugs her. Chris looks confused and hugs him back. 
Burke pulls away and points his finger as if 
he wants to say something,
but he forgets.

CHRIS
What honey?

BURKE
.......Fuck it.

Burke walks off and Chris and Sharon 
close the door and return to The Party. 
Father Dyer is sitting at the piano 
and everyone is singing songs.

FATHER DYER
Hi Chris. Great party.

CHRIS
Yeah, don't stop. Keep going.

FATHER DYER
Listen, I don't need any encouragement, 
but my idea of Heaven is 
a solid white night club
with Me as the head liner
for all eternity and 
They love me.

Everyone laughs. 
Father Dyer starts to play a song 
and everyone sings along.

EVERYONE
"Down on the east side of Toyd..."

FATHER DYER
Toyd, Toyd.

EVERYONE
"Toyd, that's my home, sweet home. 
Can we both think it's..."

Regan appears in view and 
Father Dyer notices her first.

FATHER DYER
Hey I, I think we 
have a guest.

Everyone turns to Regan as she stands 
and stares at The Astronaut guy.

REGAN
You're gonna 
die up there.

The guy looks puzzled and Regan begins to urinate on the floor.






"Everything about them is Perfect." 

Perfection belonged to The Bears. 
But once in a while, Treadwell came 
face-to-face with the harsh reality 
of wild Nature. 

This did not fit into his sentimentalised view 
that everything Out There was Good, and 
The Universe in Balance and in Harmony

Male bears sometimes kill cubs to stop 
the females from lactating, and thus 
have them ready again for fornication


Here I differ with Treadwell. 
He seemed to ignore the fact that 
in Nature there are predators

I believe the common denominator of The Universe
 is not Harmony, but Chaos, Hostility and Murder.


Most disturbing for him was to find 
The Skull of a young bear. 
In the summer of 2000, came 
an extended drought

The creek was so low that for weeks, there 
was no salmon run, and starving bears 
simply ate their own.

When interference with 
Nature was not enough
he had to invoke
Higher Powers --
