JOURNALIST:
(confused)
I’m sorry?
JACKIE:
A moment-by-moment account. That’swhat you came her for, isn’t it?
(beat)
You want me to describe the sound
the bullet made when it collided
with my husband’s skull.
CUT TO:
INT. AIR FORCE ONE -PRESIDENTIAL QUARTERS -DALLAS, 1963
Jackie applies makeup in the mirror while practicing a speechin Spanish. Her delivery is practiced, careful.
JACKIE:
I’m very happy to be in the greatstate of Texas, to be with you andexperience the noble Spanishtradition that has achieved so much
in Dallas. This tradition started
100 years ago before thecolonization of Massachusetts, myhusband’s State. It is a tradition
that remains alive and strong.
She puts on her famous pink, pillbox hat and closes themirror.
INT./EXT. DALLAS -LOVE FIELD -DAY
Jackie walks through the plane. She can hear the loud crowdoutside.
JACKIE:
(hopeful)
Is that the sound of birds?
Playing along with his wife -
12.
PRESIDENT KENNEDY (O.S.)
Not exactly birds. Must be the
ocean...
(beat)
Are you ready?
JACKIE:
(ironic)
Of course. I love crowds.
The door opens. Jackie walks off AIR FORCE ONE onto thetarmac at LOVE FIELD.
It is NOVEMBER 22, 1963.
She is wearing that pink wool Chanel suit with navy lapels,
an outfit that will soon be notorious but right now, in themorning light, is cheery and elegant, another fashionpronouncement by the most stylish woman in America.
Beside her is her husband, PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY.
Jackie absorbs the roar of the crowd like a physical assault.
Then sees GOVERNOR JOHN CONNALLY and his wife NELLIE waitingat the bottom of the short staircase, flanked by a salutinghonor guard.
The crowds are chanting "JACK-EE! JACK-EE!"
LYNDON JOHNSON:
You remember the Governor and Mrs.
Connally?
LADYBIRD:
Welcome to Dallas, Darling.
She carefully descends to the bottom of the stairs, wheresuddenly --Nellie thrusts a bouquet of RED ROSES into herhands.
A beat, as she eyes the crimson blossoms.
And then --shouting over the screaming crowd...
JACKIE:
My! What a welcome!
The Governor places a conspiratorial arm around the Presidentand holds him for a whispered conference.
Amidst the chaos, Jackie turns around to face the CROWD,
which erupts in even louder cheers. She blushes, almost
embarrassed, and responds with a demure smile.
13.
Then she notices --the President is on the move again. She
hurries to catch up as he marches toward the waiting limo.
Jackie holds a grin in place and methodically makes eyecontact with every voter on the rope line -
JACKIE (CONT’D)
Thank you. Thank you so much for
coming...
