STANLEY PETERSON (CONT'D)
I can’t believe it. Jake Green!
My God. When you get back to town?
JAKE:
Just now.
STANLEY PETERSON
You seen Emily yet? The family?
JAKE:
I just got back now, Stanley.
STANLEY PETERSON
Oh, right. Right. Sorry. Wait.
Where the hell have you been?
JAKE:
Around.
STANLEY PETERSON
No one is “around” for 5 years.
JAKE:
Believe it or not... the Army.
Just then, a woman emerges from the farm house. MIMI CLARK
is 30, sexy, stylish, Jewish, urbanite, and couldn't look
more out of place. Stanley’s good humor instantly vanishes.
JAKE (CONT’D)
Who’s that?
5.
STANLEY PETERSON
That? That’s the government.
JAKE:
Sexy government.
Mimi Clark runs frightened from a chicken. “Ewww!”
STANLEY PETERSON
Don’t let the style fool you, Jake.
Miss “shiver me timbers” is from
the I.R.S.
JAKE:
IRS? Audit?... Not going well?
STANLEY PETERSON
Forget it. How about you and me
get together tonight? Catch up?
JAKE:
I’d love to, but I’m only in to see
my grandpa, then I gotta get back.
So, if I can get my mother’s
favorite Peterson Apple Pie...
Stanley nods, slaps Jake’s shoulder, and turns to find...
STANLEY PETERSON
BONNIE!
Bonnie drops the phone and scrambles to get Jake's order.
STANLEY PETERSON (CONT’D)
Welcome back to Jericho, Jake.
14 EXT. JERICHO - VARIOUS LOCATIONS - AFTERNOON 14
We see it all through Jake’s eyes. Unlike most of flat,
dusty Kansas, Jericho is nestled in the foothills. It’s a
town that embraces its Old West roots and Frontier Spirit. A
statue reads... Welcome to Jericho: We Stand Strong.
ELECTION POSTERS hang on every storefront and telephone pole.
ELECT GRAY ANDERSON. RE-ELECT MAYOR GREEN. All to the
lovely sounds of Sean Hannity raving on the radio...
SEAN HANNITY (V.O.)
... we got an advanced copy, and
let me tell you, friends, this
speech is going down in history.
Bold agenda. Bold. Okay, who do
we have? Tiffany in Homestead,
Pennsylvania. Hi, Tiffany.
6.
As Tiffany tells Sean he’s a great American, Jake turns off
the radio and keeps driving. To his right, Jake sees a
moving truck. ROD HAWKINS, 39, serious, African American
tips the movers as his wife and kids play in the yard.
Suddenly, POLICE LIGHTS FLASH behind Jake. Jake pulls over.
He looks in the side view mirror as two ominous pairs of
policeman’s legs approach. Jake sighs until...
JIMMY:
I thought I recognized this car.
Jake looks at JIMMY, 42, and BILL, 42, two best friends and
the laughing stock of the police force. They smile at Jake.
JAKE:
Hey Jimmy, Bill. Still buyingthose lottery tickets?
JIMMY:
Man, if we ever win the lottery,
our wives are going to become world
travelers.
