EXT. RETREAT - BLUFF - MORNING - (DAY 7)
Don walks out onto the bluff in khakis and an untucked white
buttoned shirt, no shoes.
VINCE (PRELAP)
Mother sun, we greet you and are
thankful for the sweetness of the
earth.
EXT. RETREAT - CLIFF - MORNING - (DAY 7)
We REVEAL Vince in linens, in the lotus position.
VINCE
The new day brings new hope,
We see Don, sitting across from him, in the lotus position,
in light clothing, with a group of OTHERS, listening.
VINCE (CONT'D)
Lives we've led, the lives we've
yet to lead. New day. New ideas.
A new you.
(beat, closes eyes)
Ommmmmmmmm.
We MOVE DOWN across the group as they say the second "OMMMMM"
until we find Don, eyes closed, finishing the "OM".
DON
(third time)
Ommmmmmmmm.
As we push in, he smiles. We hear a woman's voice singing,
WOMAN (O. S.)
I'd like to buy the world a home--
CUT TO:
EXT. ITALIAN HILLTOP - DAY (CLIP)
REVEAL the woman is in the 1971 COCA-COLA AD, singing with a
group of young people from around the world.
SINGERS
...And furnish it with love,
Grow apple trees and honey bees
And snow white turtle doves.
I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I'd like to buy the world a Coke
And keep it company
That's the real thing.
I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I'd like to buy the world a Coke
And keep it company
It's the real thing
What the world wants today
Coca-Cola
Is the real thing.
As the ad ends, we see all of them gathered on the hilltop,
still singing.
FADE OUT.
END OF SERIES.
