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:

I think it looks nice on you.

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.

16 EXT. GRACIE LEIGH’S SUPERMARKET - MOMENTS LATER 16

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.
