Around the practising band, various carpenters and
technicians are making final preparations for that evening's
big event.
One of the people watching the band is SAM BURNELL, a man in
his early forties. He watches his daughter, NICOLE, as she
sings into the microphone. NICOLE is sixteen.
NICOLE stares at her father as she sings.
ANGLE ON:
SAM looking back at his daughter. He is intensely proud of
her. SAM is a carpenter, working on at the fair site. He
gets back to his work, hammering a supporting beam into the
grandstand.
CUT TO:
INT. AIRPORT. WASHROOM -- AFTERNOON
CLOSE UP of a three year old girl, staring up into the lens.
Her face is full of sweetness and trust.
ANGLE ON:
MITCHELL STEPHENS in a crowded airport washroom, watching a
young father, PETER, trying to change the diaper on his
three year old daughter.
MITCHELL stares at the little girl, his face registering a
wistful smile. PETER is having a hard time trying to find
the towel from the toddler's bag and keeping an eye on her
at the same time.
MITCHELL:
Need a hand?
PETER:
Sure, it you could find a towel in
this bag. I know my wife packed one
in there...
MITCHELL comes forward and searches through the toddler's
bag.
MITCHELL:
You always think you're prepared for
these things.
PETER:
Tell me about it.
MITCHELL:
How old is she?
PETER:
Almost three.
MITCHELL:
(finding a towel)
Is this it?
PETER:
Perfect.
MITCHELL:
Here we go.
PETER:
Thanks.
PETER lays the towel across the counter, and dries the
little girl. MITCHELL watches as PETER puts a new diaper on
her. The toddler stares up at MITCHELL, her eyes are
playful.
MITCHELL stares at the girl's face.
CUT TO:
INT. CAR WASH. -- NIGHT
TIME CUT back to MITCHELL honking the horn of his car,
trying to get someone's attention. No response. MITCHELL
picks up his cell phone, and dials the operator.
