Jackie nods sagely. Pulls up next to a school playground.
JACKIE:
I hate to say goodbye. Eskimo Kiss.
(they rub noses)
Russian Orthodox Wedding Kiss.
They bump foreheads and elbows. Ben runs toward the kindergarten
playground; Jackie watches concerned as Annabelle climbs the steps.
The only orangey red dot in a sea of purple.
EXT. PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIO, TRIBECA - MORNING
Taxi pulls up to a converted warehouse. Rachel BOLTS out,
SPRINTING for the door.
INT. PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIO - DAY
Black and white FILLS the frame. Like a checkerboard. We PULL
BACK and realize we are seeing a group of PENGUINS waddling against
a black and white backdrop. We see a WHITE WAITRE'D in a BLACK
TUXEDO holding glasses on a tray. A BLACK MODEL, IMAN, in a WHITE
In the center the only dash of color is Rachel -- who has just
entered and starts expertly directing the action. She calls out to
her assistant, COOPER. Perpetually hip. Perpetually young.
RACHEL:
Cooper, back the fill off I don't have
enough shadow...
COOPER:
You've got a fruit loop in your hair.
RACHEL:
You say that like I don't know that.
COOPER:
I once threw an entire bowl of jello
on my stepmother's head --
RACHEL:
And when did that pass?
COOPER:
Actually, never. They'll always hate
you. There's a gene for it.
DUNCAN SAMUELS -- Rachel's boss, an elegant, edgy, Englishman
interrupts them.
DUNCAN:
Congratulations. Only forty minutes
late. You're handling this promotion
really well Rachel.
RACHEL:
Duncan. My work is everything to me.
This'll never happen again. Now stand
back -- this session's gonna make you
remember why you hired me even though
I wouldn't sleep with you -- Cooper
let's get these penguins dancing --
Duncan backs off, charmed by her ballsiness. The music BLARES just
then, and a penguin JUTS forward and NIPS the model. The FLASH of
the camera. We FREEZE for a second, seeing the photo Rachel just
took. An Avedonesque portrait of a model being GOOSED by a penguin
COLLIDING with a maitre'd who SPILLS his tray and the penguins seem
to be POINTING and LAUGHING uproariously. It's an inspired photo.
INT. SCHOOL COUNSELOR'S OFFICE - 2:30 THAT DAY
Jackie and LUKE HARRISON -- ruggedly handsome man, mid-forties,
charming, disarming, and smart as they come. They sit side by side
on a couch across from RUTH FRANKLIN, an Elementary School Counselor
MRS. FRANKLIN
Mr. and Mrs. Harrison, while change is
exhilarating for adults, it can be
quite challenging for a child.
Luke's beeper beeps. He ignores it; focuses on Mr. Franklin.
LUKE:
I won't get that...It's fine. Change.
MRS. FRANKLIN
The fact that you two are remarrying
obviously has Annabelle overjoyed...
(they look at her,
dumbfounded)
And she's very excited about your move to
Switzerland.
