Well, honey, I sure hope it comes

31 INT. STEWS' CAR

STEW #1

I just knew that was you when you

got on.

TOM:

You did, huh?

STEW #1

Ya - I even recognized them.

STEW #2

How long have you been together?

TOM:

(laughing)

Too long.

STEW #3

Is your rather really an actor?

TOM:

(laughing)

All his life.

STEW #3

Really?

TOM:

Me, too.

They all laugh. STEW #4 has been driving over-cautiously because

of the cargo. TOM leans over and kisses her ear.

TOM:

You having any fun?

She shrieks and practically drives off the road. They all laugh.

TOM:

That's the most important thing --

to have -- fun

STEW #2

How long are you going to be here?

TOM:

Long enough to have fun.

They laugh.

32 INT. CADILLAC

TRIPLETTE:

What do you think of him?

REESE:

Hal? Well, Hal and I have been

friends for a long time.

TRIPLETTE:

You go to school together?

REESE:

No, we never did that

TRIPLETTE:

Oh --

REESE:

We're connected by a relative. One

time, one of his aunts married one

of my uncles. That was a long time

ago, though. How'd you come to work

for him?

TRIPLETTE:

Well, I really think he's got a

chance.

REESE:

You do?

TRIPLETTE:

Oh yea -- There has never been a

better time for something new.

REESE:

He ain't really new.

TRIPLETTE:

He is to a lot of people.

REESE:

He was a good Judge, but that was a

long time ago.

TRIPLETTE:

You know, I'll bet you he makes it

with a majority.

REESE:

Where are you from?

TRIPLETTE:

Southern California.

REESE:

You always live there?

TRIPLETTE:

Spent time in Arizona. Why?

REESE:

Well, I admire your optimism, and I

just wondered if it was regional.

You ever see any movie stars?

TRIPLETTE:

I know a couple.

REESE:

No kidding -- Wait till I tell

Linnea. Who?

TRIPLETTE:

Ah... Peter Finch.

REESE:

Who?

TRIPLETTE:

Peter Finch -- he's English.

REESE:

I never heard of him. Name

somebody else.

TRIPLETTE:

Ryan O'Neal.

REESE:

You really do? ~ God -- How come

you know them?

TRIPLETTE:

Oh, you meet them at parties and

stuff.

REESE:

I'll be damned. Boy, if you could

get Ryan to say something about Hal

Phillip Walker, wouldn't that be

something?

TRIPLETTE:

Well -- maybe. Let's see what

happens here.

REESE:

I'll be dammed.

CUT TO:

33 AIRPORT BUS

GLENN is at the window. "Connie White" ads are present.

34 MOBILE HOME

Part of normal traffic. It belongs to TOMMY BROWN, who lounges

with four very black associates, playing serious poker.

35 INT. LINNEA'S CAR

Joining the procession from an auxiliary route. With her is

OPAL, who interviews LINNEA.

OPAL:

Have your children been deaf since

birth?

LINNEA:

Yes -- yes, they have. It was a

real shock at first, especially

since my daddy's a preacher, but

Delbert and I have been blessed by

their being here.
