EXT. STATE AND MAIN - DAY

As they walk out we hear a high pitched beeping sound at the

traffic light. We see DOC WILSON crossing the street, holding

his doctor's bag.

An ELDERLY MAN approaches Doc at the crossing. As Walt and

Bill walk, the airport van follows them.

TOWNSMAN:

Doc, those pills, y'gave me for my

back? I'm not sure that they work.

DOC WILSON:

Well, I'm not sure either, but y'don't

hear me complain... come by th'office,

end of th'afternoon.

TOWNSMAN:

Thanks, Doc...

BILL:

This is your movie, this is small

town America.

WALT:

Town in New Hampshire was small town

America too. Forty thousand dollars

a day, to shoot on the street. And

then they kicked us out...

They stop in front of a rack of fifty "factory seconds."

Black and red hunting jackets, in front of the sporting goods

store. The sign reads "FACTORY SECONDS, FIVE DOLLARS."

BILL:

A jacket for five dollars... I can

buy this town for fifty bucks.

WALT:

You told me that about the last town.

BILL:

Yeah, but they never made a movie

here.

WALT:

I'm bleeding, Bill, I'm bleeding...

BILL:

...why am I here...?

WALT:

What, what, what, what do they got

that can pass for the Old Mill...

Bill shows Walt a brochure from Waterford, which shows a

picture of the Old Mill. Walt reads.

WALT:

"The Waterford Mill, built in 1825,

and long a tourist attraction..."

Wake up Uberto.
