          COMMUNITIES HEALTHIER

| DR. MAYA  ANGELOU:  | 
As we get older, our chances
          of developing breast cancer increase.
           (Couple dancing.)  | 
| GRAPHICS: | WANNA treated her breast cancer in 1979. | 
| DR. ANGELOU: | However, every year, more women continue to live meaningful lives because their breast cancer was discovered and treated early. | 
| GRAPHICS: | Yuk Hing treated her breast cancer in 1996. | 
| DR. ANGELOU: | Every woman deserves to be healthy. | 
| GRAPHICS: | CARMEN treated her breast cancer in 1998. | 
| DR. ANGELOU: | And a good way to make sure
          you don't have breast cancer is to have a mammogram every year. If
          you're over 40, call about a free mammogram. Do it for yourself and
          the people you love
           Every woman counts, every year.  |

| BEE CHARACTER: | Okay. That's the buzz. I'm out of here, people. You were great. Even you. Thank you. |

| GO TO CLOSEUP OF ANNA | |
| ANNA: | Oh, Harold, now you know you trying to tell me that you can't live without me. | 
| GO TO CLOSEUP OF HAROLD. | |

A message from your daughter.
          (Clears throat.)
           (Singing.) "Be smart, be brave, what I'm really trying to say is someone needs to take a peak at a part of which we rarely speak." (End singing.) Oh, what the heck. Just get your darn colon checked, okay!  | 
| VOICEOVER: | If you're over 50, you're at risk. But there's great news. Colorectal cancer is 90 percent curable if detected early. So go in and get checked, because we've got to catch it early. Remember, when it wants to, a bee can be a real pest. |

| BEE  CHARACTER:  | 
Are you going to get checked? | 
| MALE VOICE: | I'm going to get checked. Okay? | 
| BEE  CHARACTER:  | 
Okay. | 
| VOICEOVER: | Save a life. Get checked. Ask
          your doctor or a health care provider about getting checked for
          colorectal cancer. Or call 1-800-4CANCER. Or visit Georgiacancer.org
          for more information.
