It's a Wonderful Life (Alternate Ending)

By andybyers

          Fellahs--

          What do you think of this as a possible twist ending for "It's a Wonderful Life"? Let me know what you think.

          --Frank

                              ZUZU
                    Look, Daddy! Teacher says, every
                    time a bell rings, an angel gets
                    his wings!

                              GEORGE
                    What a crock of shit.

                              MARY
                    They're teaching religion in the
                    schools again! What's your
                    teacher's name, Zuzu!?! We'll have
                    to get her fired!!

          ZUZU BEGINS CRYING

                              GEORGE
                         (SHAKING ZUZU BY THE ARMS)
                    Stop it! STOP IT!!

          ZUZU'S NECK SNAPS

                              GEORGE
                    Zuzu? Zuzu! -- Killed her!

                              CLARENCE
                         (OFF-SCREEN)
                    Way to go, fuckhead! I've just been
                    demoted! Now I have to lick the
                    toilets of Hell clean for eternity!

                              GEORGE
                         (LOOKING UP)
                    Aw, fuck you, you meddling lard
                    ass!!

                              BANK EXAMINER
                    I can see there's no need to bring
                    you in alive, Mr. Bailey!

          DRAWS REVOLVER AND SHOOTS GEORGE

                              GEORGE
                         (GASPING FOR BREATH)
                    Oh... fuck... you all.

          DIES

                              MARY
                    Well, serves him right. Now who's
                    gonna clean up this mess?!

          CREDITS ROLL.

          END.

ight just work, but as one of a rare breed who has never seen It's a Wonderful Life - I couldn't really comment. Is it as good as they say? Or is it vomit making garbage. (Keep in mind I'm a pretty sentimental type.)

I do like this style of humour and this is one film that really merits this sort of treatment. At first I thought you went a bit OTT but I decided the pollyana ending of the original needed it for contrast. Perhaps if you had led us into it more gradually, the realization of the change might have been funnier as they were all won over to the "dark side" But it was quite affective as a spoof as is.

I haven't seen A wonderful Life either, but I thought this was very well written. I don't know the characters and all, but I just thought this dialogue was just great, not their language, but how they speak, it just feels very real.

For those that haven't seen it, It's A Wonderful Life is a heart-warming and life-affirming slice of Chirstmas family cheer. So on behalf of jaded young adults everywhere, that once sat through all three luke-warm hours of this classic, cuddly pice of festive entertainment, thank you. You had me with, "What a crock of shit."

Some critical points (just to justify my time here), the script's an ideal length and doesn't try to stretch the joke, Zuzu's death is suitably horriffic and in good contrast to original material, as is the crass dialogue and bleak finale. Very nice...
