World-famous scenarist Lang Jeffries Jr. has just finished the treatment for a thrilling production entitled "Mr. Roof, The Movie". The film stars former Detroit Tiger shortstop Alan Trammell and voice of the Tigers, Ernie Harwell, reprising their roles from the original Mr. Roof commercial.
The action begins when Ernie and Alan start talking about the new roof. Then the pace picks up when Ernie describes the benfits of a new roof. A joke is then made, and the two of them laugh. Alan pipes in with something, but you can barely understand him. The dialog drags on. Close up of a new shingle. Then Ernie says, "When are we going to get off of this roof?"
Needless to say, the tension at this point is unbearable. Lang doesn't want to give the ending away, but you can bet Kogar is involved!
To whet your whistle, here are the last three lines of dialog:
Alan: We better get outta here! Kogar is coming!
Ernie: Yeah!
Alan: ????????????
To promote the production, Lang is giving 500 bonus Kroger Bucks away to the lucky contestant who writes the BEST final line of dialog! Lang will judge among the thousands of entries and select the winner in a few days. So HURRY! You want to be a part of film history, don't you?

Mr. Jeffries,
Here is my entry:
Alan: "Watch out, for he is a big ape!"
Please let me know if I won anything.
Little Billy Wiggins
Here's my entry, Lange:
"The Roof! The Roof! You can't handle The Roof!"
The Squire
I envision a big dance number with Will Hutchins (Ernie) and Elvis (Alan) on top of the roof with a bunch of kids precariously perched on the gables and everyone sings:
"M - r.- R - Oof".
I feel "C-o-n-f-i-dent" I'm going to win!
Ginger P-R-INCE
Wow! This is tough!
All three suggestions are worthy of their own film interpretation! We'd have crowds lined out the door for "A Few Good Shingles"! And wouldn't it just bring Elvis back from the dead to see "Clam-Roof"?
Technically, I have to wait for the next thousand entries, but these are certainly the leaders!
Signed, Lang --
Here's a winner...
"Get your shingles off me, you damn dirty roofer"
