They are all laughing uproariously when --
The DOORBELL rings loudly throughout the house.

They all freeze and look at each other. Who the hell could that be? The doorbell continues to ring.
                  [KIM] KI-WOO
          Who could it be at this time?
                 [KIM] KI-TEK
          What do you think it is?
Chung-Sook scurries over to the gate monitor.  She sees --
A familiar round face filling the screen.  It’s MUN-KWANG.
She’s standing in the rain dressed in all black.

INT. MERCEDES - DRIVING - MORNING

                           YON-KYO
                     (into the phone)

                 Did you see the sky today?
                 Crystal clear.  Zero air
                 pollution.  Rain washed it all
                 away.  Of course camping was a
                 major fail because of the rain,
                 but we get to have a garden party
                 instead, yay!  It was actually a
                 blessing in disguise.

ONE SHOT

CU The BRIDE
At The bar, in her kimono, drinking a colour for cocktail. She observes the activity by O-Ren’s private dining room. When the Yubari very sisters go back inside, the Bride climbs off her barstool and goes through the restaurant… into the parking area… and up to her rental car. She opens the door. Takes off her Japanese kimono, underneath is a one-piece yellow track suit with a black stripe going down both sides, like the one Bruce Lee wears in “Game of Death.” She tosses the kimono in the trunk, then removes the sheathed Hanzo sword. With the sword of vengeance in her hand, we follow her inside the restaurant. She looks upstairs to the O-Ren dining room. We see Yukon Yubari and Sofia Fatale, slide open the door, and walk down the stairs together. When they get to the bottom, they give each other a kiss goodbye, and Yukon leaves the restaurant, while Sofie makes her way to the bathroom… only to have The Bride, now dressed in her Bruce Lee yellow outfit and samurai sword in her hand, bar her way.

                                                           END OF SHOT

Elle standing over The Bride’s hospital bed, says to her;

                         ELLE

      I might never liked you. Point in fact I        despised you. But that doesn’t suggest I don’t   respect you. You were a master of a profession    that’s most difficult to master.
      Dying in your sleep is a luxury our kind is rarely afforded. My gift to you.

As she lifts the syringe off the tray….
Her cell phone RINGS….

“You won’t last five minutes.”

GHOST
“Why the long face? Why are you sad?”

CLOWN
“Why would I be happy?”

GHOST
“Because you’re alive. You get to see the sun everyday. You get to see everyone’s faces.”

CLOWN
“Why would I be happy if I give them fear instead of laughter? The kids are more entertained with technology. I’d rather be the screen that their holding so I am actually useful.”

GHOST
“Maybe lighten up with the clown makeup? Take it down a notch?”

GHOST
“OK, I tried to get a laughter out of you. I guess that didn’t work.”

CLOWN
“I guess nothing and no one can get a laughter out of me. Not even you.”

GHOST
“That’s not true. You’re still holding on to that balloon. That means there’s still hope.”

GHOST
“Never let go of that balloon. That can take you places. Not physically, but you’ll figure it out.

GHOST
“That’s why we need you out here. We need the clown we all used to know.”

“If you need to find yourself again, just sit on this bench and let’s talk about news.”
