The Horse Whisperer Page #2

JUDITH:

I thought your mom's coming up?

GRACE:

(prickly)

So?

Judith immediately senses a problem so she continues casually,

as they begin walking away from Camera...

JUDITH:

My parents are having friends from

college over. They're really nice...

They have this gorgeous son who wants

to be a forest ranger.

GRACE:

Can I come? I'll start a fire...

Judith laughs as they continue talking, their voices trailing

off, as the girls head for the stables.

INT. STABLES, THE DYER HORSE FARM - MORNING

There are several horses in their stalls. Grace and Judith

enter, talking, carrying their English saddles. Judith stops

at a stall, disappearing into it as she says "Hello?"...,

Grace continues to the end stall.

Pilgrim (the horse from the dream) stands looking at her.

GRACE:

Hello, beautiful boy.

He's a massive figure beside her but she shows no inhibition.

She enters, touching his muzzle. He plays with her by nudging

her back.

GRACE:

Stop... Will you stop!

EXT. DYER HORSE FARM - MORNING

They lead their horses, now saddled and ready, from the barn.

Pilgrim tosses his head, prancing, playing with the snow.

GRACE:

Show-off.

The girls mount the horses and ride off together.

INT. ANNIE'S MAGAZINE OFFICE - MID-MORNING

Annie, casually dressed, enters the empty offices of her

magazine. She turns on the light, revealing a large row of

stalls and glassed in private offices. Everywhere we look,

we see indications of the kind of magazine she edits.

She strolls to her office -- the largest -- surrounded by

windows. The office walls are covered with photos, most of

which are COVER STORIES ON ANNIE.

(One photo is of Annie's father MARTIN. A BRITISH AMBASSADOR

with his young daughter on his lap, her arms affectionately

around his neck. Her mother stands right behind them, posing

like a member of the royal family.)
