MR. SMITH

Too old.

They're talking about a COUPLE IN THEIR SIXTIES, warmly

greeting each other.

MR. JONES

Him!

MR. SMITH

If you ever had an idea it would die

of malnutrition. First those blue

hairs then some Spic. Leave this to

me. I know people. It's my job. I'm

a people person.

MR. SMITH laughs at his joke.

MS. JONES

What the f*** are you looking for?

MR. SMITH has spotted someone.

MR. SMITH

I'm looking for them.

MS. JONES

Where?

MR. SMITH

Right there.

He starts walking towards the exit gate.

INT. UNION STATION -ARRIVAL CONCOURSE - DAY - 12:09PM

GENE has emerged with LYNN. They pause there, getting their

bearings. Next to them, a YOUNG COUPLE is kissing. They can't

keep their hands off each other.

GENE:

I gotta make a phone call, Lynn. Do

you see a phone?

LYNN has seen the YOUNG COUPLE. She secretly points to them,

covers her mouth, and does a "tee, hee, hee" number. GENE

laughs.

GENE:

Come on, you.

They start walking across the concourse, towards MR. SMITH

and MS. JONES.

GENE:

(to LYNN)

Haven't you ever seen anybody kiss

like that?

LYNN:

On TV.

GENE:

You never saw your Mom and me kiss

like that?

LYNN suddenly gets very sad. She looks at the ground, slows

down. GENE notices. He stops, crouches down to her level.

MR. SMITH and MS. JONES, nearing them, split apart, move

around them, and keep going.

GENE:

(to LYNN)

Hey, it's OK to talk about her. You

can talk about her all you want. You

know that, don't you?
