Transcript

*Mike’s face is flushed with rage. He scowls, grits his teeth, and holds up a fist.*
Mike: Okay, THAT’S IT!! We’re not stopping until I find that damn parade!!

*Mike, still angry, grabs Lucy by the arm and begins running, dragging her along. She looks surprised.*
Mike: AHHHHHHHHH!!

*Mike continues to run past some trash cans, Lucy still being pulled along.*
Mike: AHHH!!

*Mike jumps up onto a ledge to avoid a barking dog. He’s still holding Lucy, who floats through the air like a balloon.*
Mike: AHHHHH!!

*Lucy and Mike sit in a swan boat. Lucy has a neutral expression. Mike has his arms in the air and an intense face, still screaming.*
Mike: AHHHH!!

*Mike, now wearing a Tarzan outfit, swings from a vine. He’s still holding Lucy’s arm and she swings in the air behind him, looking surprised. A snake peeks out at them.*
Mike: AHHH!!

*Mike hops from the top of one car to another, Lucy still swinging behind him. The drivers in the car look shocked and angry.*
Mike: AHHHHH!!

*Mike freezes.*
Mike: I hear.. trumpets..

*Mike and Lucy look ahead of them, both with wide eyes.*

*They stand looking at a parade. There’s a huge crowd, and balloons and streamers decorate the street.*

*Mike and Lucy are still standing on the car. The driver is getting mad but they don’t notice.*
Mike: It’s actually here!
Lucy: Well, let’s get on with it!
Mike: O-okay!

*Lucy and Mike make their way through the crowd. Mike is searching for Sandy, but doesn’t see her.*

*Mike looks distressed.*
Mike (thinking): Nooo, there’s so many people! How could I possibly find her here?!

*Mike suddenly notices someone.*
Mike:

*The TV reporter leans against a news van, looking bored.*
Mike: Hey.. that’s the lady from the news!

Mike (thinking): Maybe she remembers..
*Mike smiles hopefully and calls out to her.*
Mike: Hey! Um, excuse me?

*Mike approaches her and she looks at him curiously.*
Mike: I was looking for..

*The reporter leans forward and shoves her microphone toward Mike.*
Reporter: YOUR LOST AND KIDNAPPED CHILD?!
*Mike leans away, confused.*
Mike: Wait what?!
