EXT.A FARM IN VERMONT-15 YEARS LATER-SUMMER DAY

There is a party going on. Victor and Cammie are the guests of honor.

Victor's beard has turned grey. He looks frail and unsteady. But still, the eyes and the smile. They are sitting around a hole that is being dug. It will be VICTOR'S GRAVE. All his friends are there. Cammie helps him down the ladder and leaves him alone, standing at the bottom of his grave. He is wearing an old fedora, and a white embroidered shirt that Cammie made for him. He smiles up at the crowd, tips his hat and begins to sing, in his still strong voice.

                            VICTOR

                 Take your coat and grab your hat

                 leave your worries on the doorstep

                 Just direct your feet

                 to sunny side of the street.

  And then, of course, being Victor, he begins to, he had to... dance on   his own grave.    

   FADE OUT
