Steve reaches the fence beside the tracks just as the train goes by.) (As his parents run toward him, Teddy continues to hold the balloon, not hearing the warnings.
MAGGIE HOLVEY: Teddy, get off of the tracks! Charlie continues to watch from a distance, showing no emotion.) He tries to stop the train but it doesn't respond. (The train rounds the curve and the engineer sees Teddy ahead. The balloon has led Teddy onto the tracks, where Teddy is now holding it by the string.) Maggie hears Steve's shouts and runs toward Teddy as well.
(Steve runs toward him, while Charlie stands impassively. STEVE HOLVEY: (seeing him) Oh my God! Teddy! Teddy! Get away from there! Beyond them, the man sees Teddy near the tracks. Nearby, a family poses as the father takes their picture. (The balloon leads Teddy down to the railroad tracks. MAGGIE HOLVEY: (still not seeing him) Teddy?! Teddy?! Rather than flying up and away, the balloon behaves as if the string is being held by an invisible entity. (Teddy is following the balloon, which is leading him down an embankment and out of Maggie's sight. MAGGIE HOLVEY: Teddy? Teddy?! (she runs outside) Teddy?! Teddy?! Teddy?! (Maggie finishes up and opens the door to the stall, only to see Teddy's empty halter on the floor and no sign of Teddy.) Two in the bed and the little one said "Roll. Three in the bed and the little one said, "Roll over! Roll over!" So they all rolled over and one fell out. So they all rolled over and one fell out. Maggie leans down and looks under the stall door to check on him. (The balloon has mysteriously moved across the ceiling, then down a foot and out through the gap at the top of the restroom door. Four in the bed and the little one said, "Roll over! Roll over!". And they all rolled over and one fell out. (Teddy has let go of his balloon again and watches it float up to the ceiling.) Five in the bed and the little one said "Roll over! Roll over!".
MAGGIE HOLVEY: (singing) There were six in a bed and the little one said "Roll over! Roll over!" So they all rolled over and one fell out. She sings to Teddy to keep his attention.) (She goes into one of the stalls and closes the door. (She picks him up and puts him in front of the sink, attaching his his halter to one of the sink supports.) In the restroom, Maggie wipes the ice cream from Teddy's face.) (Steve puts all of the ice cream cones into a trash can. (to himself) That was a waste of good money. (takes Charlie's ice cream cone) We'll get you another balloon. STEVE HOLVEY: (slightly annoyed) We'll get you a balloon, OK? STEVE HOLVEY: Eat your ice cream before it melts.ĬHARLIE: I don't want any ice cream. MAGGIE HOLVEY: (to Teddy) You're amazing. STEVE HOLVEY: Charlie and I will wait for you. (Teddy continues to cry, so Steve takes Charlie's balloon and offers it to Teddy. STEVE HOLVEY: Hey, look! Here's some ice cream! Here's some ice cream! Want some ice cream? Look. Steve offers one of the other ice cream cones to him.) (Teddy falls, dropping his ice cream, and starts to cry) Oh, sweetie. As young Teddy holds his ice cream cone, he lets go of the balloon and it drifts up and away.) (Charlie takes the ice cream but doesn't seem very happy about it. STEVE HOLVEY: Charlie, hey! Ice cream! (kneeling and offering a cone to Teddy) Hey buddy, you want some ice cream? Huh? (to Charlie) Here, Charlie. (to Teddy, handing him a balloon) Here you go, sweetie. MAGGIE HOLVEY: Charlie! Come on, Charlie.
His mother, Maggie, is a short distance away with Charlie's younger brother, two-year-old Teddy, while his father, Steve, approaches with four ice cream cones.) A miniature train chugs by and young Charlie Holvey watches from a railing, holding a balloon on a string. (The Holvey family is enjoying an afternoon in the park.
