Zustand: Very good. Original draft screenplay for this sobering Afterschool Special on the dangers of drunk driving, starring Michelle Pfeiffer, Val Kilmer, Mare Winningham, and the great Grace Zabriskie as the mother nobody listens to. The star-studded ONE TOO MANY aired on May 1, 1985, as the seventh episode of the 13th season, close to dead center of the long-running series. This tragic drama includes in-story depictions of the scare-tactic educational films once common in high school sex- and driver-ed classes (after viewing a gruesome close-up of a road accident victim, "Beth" (Winningham) compares and contrasts the previous year's "pictures of people with VD"). Where old-school driver's-ed films merely showed the consequences of reckless driving, ONE TOO MANY adds a layer and shows the consequences of ignoring those films - effectively an afterschool special about the danger of ignoring afterschool specials. Harmon's screenplay also shows insight in its choice of threatened outcomes: the mere thought of dying in a car accident won't scare a teen who plans to live forever. But what if your drunk boyfriend was Val Kilmer, and he had too many beers, and he wouldn't give up his keys without a fight, and you killed your best friend with his car just because your nerves were on edge, and they sent you to jail even though you were Michelle Pfeiffer and you never meant to hurt anybody? That's something to really think about. 11'' x 8.5''. Original brad-bound wrappers. Xeroxed text on rectos only. 57 pages. Light creasing and edgewear, red pen to front cover/title page, small stain to rear cover/last page.
