By Rod Hilton

**NOTE: This script, as almost all scripts on my
site, has some spoilers. don't read it if you
haven't seen the movie. now stop bugging me about
giving it away. it's your fault now when you read
that bruce willis is actually the boys father.**

FADE IN:

INT. AUDIENCE'S HOME

The AUDIENCE is reading reviews of the film.

FILM CRITIC
There is a SURPRISE ending in this
film!

INT. BRUCE WILLIS' HOME

BRUCE is shot by a man with a GUN.

INT. BRUCE WILLIS' OFFICE - THE NEXT FALL

HALEY JOEL OSMENT
I see dead people.

BRUCE WILLIS
(gruff whisper)
Interesting.

AUDIENCE
Wait, didn't he get shot? Well, this
is a ghost movie, I guess he is a
ghost. I guess that's the surprise
ending critics won't shut up about.

The movie continues on for quite some time. HALEY
interacts with some DEAD PEOPLE including BRUCE WILLIS.

Weird stuff happens in which people don't react to
WILLIS, further showing that WILLIS is a ghost.

This still continues for quite a while.

Eventually, it is revealed that BRUCE is a ghost!

WRITER/DIRECTOR M. NIGHT
SHYAMALAN
Ha ha! I thought of the ending first
and the story second! The whole film
is nothing more than build-up for this
clever surprise ending!

SHYAMALAN is shot by the audience, who figured out that
WILLIS was a ghost long ago. He is now DEAD.

HALEY JOEL OSMENT
Mom? The director is standing outside
my window.

HALEY'S MOM
Freak.

HALEY JOEL OSMENT
He is. And he's telling me how to
make a movie that ends with the main
character revealing that he's the bad
guy. Make him go away.

BRUCE WILLIS
(gruff whisper)
I'm workin on it.

BRUCE whips out a shitload of guns.

BRUCE WILLIS (cont'd)
Damn I'm getting tired of movies where
I have to act calm. Yippee-ki-yay,
motherfucker!

BRUCE fills everyone with bullets.
