KIT:

Well, at least nobody could get on

me about wearing these boots any

more.

She watches him intently. This makes him uncomfortable.

KIT:

You want to go for a ride?

HOLLY:

Well, I got homework.

KIT (O.S.)

Bring it along.

His forwardness surprises her.

EXT. DOWNTOWN STREET IN FT. DUPREE

They are walking through the downtown area. Kit kicks a paper

bag that someone has discarded on the sidewalk.

KIT:

Somebody dropped a bag on the

sidewalk.

She appears nervous about being seen alone with him.

KIT:

Everybody did that, the whole town'd

be a mess... Hi.

He greets a passing stranger.

KIT:

You're a redhead.

HOLLY:

I know.

KIT:

Anybody ever call you "Red"?

HOLLY:

Yeah, but I don't like it.

KIT:

Why not?

HOLLY:

Just don't... I've got a headache.

KIT:

Yeah?

He steers her toward his car, a customized Mercury. As she

gets in, he asks her:

KIT (O.S.)

Can I come around and see you

tomorrow?

HOLLY:

(startled)

Okay.

EXT. FEEDLOT – SERIES OF ANGLES

We see Kit at work at the feedlot. Throwing hay to the cattle,

feeding them pills, etc.

HOLLY (V.O.)

Kit went to work in the feedlot while

I carried on with my studies. Little

by little we fell in love... As I'd

never been popular in school and

didn't have a lot of personality, I

was surprised that he took such a

liking to me, especially when he

could've had any other girl in town

if he'd given it half a try.
