BILL:
Yeah, they’re going to go
everywhere looking for us.
Jimmy and Bill laugh. Jake smiles. Same old joke.
BILL (CONT'D)
So, where you been hiding, Jake?
JAKE:
Believe it or not... the rodeo.
15 INT. GRACIE LEIGH’S SUPERMARKET - AFTERNOON 15
A poster endorsing Mayor Green hangs in the window of this
medium-sized supermarket and trading post. STEPHANIE
LANCASTER, 16, a teenage princess of the highest order,
samples lipstick. She complains to the cute tech nerd, ALVIE
CLEMONS, 15, who worships her like a beaten dog. They’vebeen friends since they were 3 years old.
STEPHANIE:
I’ll never forgive my parents for
not taking me on their trip to New
York. I could be shopping on 5th
Avenue right now instead of...
(referring to lipsticks)
Look at this sad collection. This
color was out of style before it
was invented.

ALVIE:
STEPHANIE:
That’s because you’re staring at my
chest, Alvie.
ALVIE:
Yes, I am. But, we really should
get back to-
STEPHANIE:
Would you forget about studying for
the SAT’s and live a little?
ALVIE:
You’re right, Stephanie. Forget
M.I.T. and my dreams of a happy
life. Let’s ponder your chest.
We move to the counter, where Jake indulges the never-ending
gossip of good-natured GRACIE LEIGH, 45. Gracie almost scans
his bouquet of flowers and Swiss Army Knife... several times.
GRACIE LEIGH:
... his name is Rod Hawkins. That
new man. I think his wife is
lovely, but him... I don’t know.
Mrs. Olson made me promise not to
tell anyone, but she heard he
bought that nice house in cash.
Cash. Promise not to tell anyone.
JAKE:
Scout’s honor, Mrs. Leigh.
GRACIE LEIGH:
So, how about you, Jake? Where youbeen keeping yourself all this
time?
JAKE:
Promise not to tell Mrs. Olson.
(off her crossed heart)
Believe it or not... I’ve been
playing minor league baseball.
GRACIE LEIGH:
That a fact?
JAKE:
Scout’s honor.

As Jake leaves the store, he sees a woman coming out of her
car. EMILY SPENSER, 26, is young, pretty, and idealistic.
Jake's heart skips a beat. She flirts into her cell phone.
EMILY:
No, it’s a surprise. No, Roger.
You’ll find out tonight. Now, when
do you get in from Chicago?
Emily looks up to see Jake. Her heart skips a beat. Emilyis immediately distracted as she talks into her cell phone.
EMILY (CONT’D)
11 o’clock. I’ll see you tonight.
(locking eyes with Jake)
I love you, too.
She hangs up. Jake and Emily look at each other. It hangsin the air for a long, charged moment.
JAKE:
Hi, Emily.
EMILY:
Jake. My God. What-
A complete loss for words.
