DAY OF THE DEAD (The original script) by George A. Romero

THE REFUGEES stare toward the island as A HUGE BOOOOOM FILLS
   THE NIGHT. Some of the YOUNGER CHILDREN start to cheer as
   though watching fireworks on the Fourth of July.

165   EXT. GASPARILLA'S ISLAND (THEIR P.O.V.) - NIGHT

   THE TOP BLOWS OFF THE ISLAND, just as TOBY predicted is would.
   It's as though an enormous underground volcano is exploding.
   It's a frightening...yet beautiful sight.

166   EXT. THE FISHING BOAT - NIGHT

   TOBY looks back over his shoulder. THE NURSE is kneeling beside
   the body of TRICKS. He's dead. The woman pulls a blanket up
   over his head. TOBY steps forward, his PISTOL drawn. He pulls
   the hammer back and aims at TRICKS' head.

            SARAH
      No. Don't. Wait. Wait to see if... wait
      until it's necessary.

   TOBY turns and looks at MARY. She nods. He releases the PISTOL
   HAMMER without firing.

   DISSOLVE TO:

167   EXT. ANOTHER ISLAND (WIDE EST.) - MORNING

   Gorgeous, a paradise. BIRDSONG fills the air.

168   EXT. A RIVER ON THE ISLAND - MORNING

   THE REGUGEES are all gathered. THE CHILDREN walk, one by one,
   through the shallows as JOHN baptises them. SARAH, MARY AND THE
   NURSE carry the infants. When the infant in SARAH'S arms has
   been touched by JOHN'S hand, SARAH doesn't move on. Instead,
   she looks up into the big man's warm eyes.

            SARAH
      Me too...please.
