EXT. Baseball field - day

Flip and Luther are now both lying on the ground, staring at cloud formations.

LUTHER:     When I grow up, I wanna be a robot like your dragon.

FLIP:     But you said you have a dream to be a Baptist minister and help black people.

LUTHER:     I can do that better as a robot.

With a sigh and a look of dismay, Flip turns to Luther.

FLIP:     Shut up, Martin Luther! Robots have no heart. Mom said, "You lose your heart, you lose what you are meant to be."

LUTHER:     But, Flip, they're making robotic hearts now.

EXT. THE LANDFILL - DAY

We see a mountain of decaying trash and garbage framing the distant town.

It is now a vision of Industrial Gothic where there are as many factories as there are houses.

MARIA:     (V.O.)   The dragon knew that this world, too, was coming to an end. It broke the dragon's heart for the Earth had become his home too.

INT. MARIA'S HOUSE/MARIA's ROOM - NIGHT 

Maria is fast asleep, a framed photograph of her son beside her.
