The regulars snicker, enjoying her one-upmanship.

TIN CUP:

(slightly taken

aback)

I'm just a humble golf pro...

MOLLY:

You're Roy McAvoy the golf pro? I

pictured something... different.

I have a seven o'clock lesson.

TIN CUP:

I thought I had a Doctor Griswold

5.

at seven.

They hurry out to the range, Tin Cup oblivious to hisgaffe.

And the regulars gather to look out the window -4

THEIR POV - THROUGH WINDOW 4

To the range, where Molly is stretching and Tin Cup isdiscreetly waving to the regulars to get lost.

CUT TO:

5 EXT. DRIVING RANGE - NIGHT 5

The lesson begins. Tin Cup can be slightly condescendingin these situations, though she's got him a little wary.

TIN CUP:

The first thing you gotta learnabout this game, Doc, is it ain'tabout hitting a little white ballinto some yonder hole. It's about

inner demons and self-doubt and

human frailty and overcoming allthat crap. So... what kinda

doctor'd you say you were?

MOLLY:

I'm a psychologist -- in layman'sterms call me a neo-Jungian, post-

modern Freudian, holistic

secularist.

Damn.

TIN CUP:

She begins unpacking one of her bags, pulling out everygolf gimmick on the market -- swing aid straps to pullyour elbows together, a ball pendulum that hangs fromyour hat, a metal contraption for your feet, etc.

MOLLY:

Inner demons and human frailty aremy life's work. I used to

practice in El Paso but I've movedhere now...

TIN CUP:

What're those?

MOLLY:

I ordered these from the Golf

Channel.

6.

He stares in disbelief as she tries to wriggle into some

of this stuff. He's enchanted and dismayed.

TIN CUP:

That stuff's a waste of money.

MOLLY:

I'm sure there are excesses and

repetitions here, but I believe in

the gathering of knowledge and I

figured, well, there must be some

truths about the golf swing

illustrated by these devices -and

that you'd help me sort

through it.

She stands there with contraptions coming from every

limb.

MOLLY:

I have dozens of golf videotapes,

too... And a golf watch.

TIN CUP:

(irritated, impatient)

Take it off. All of it. Now!

You're a smart woman, for

Chrissakes -- don't you know the

work of charlatans when you see

it?

She deposits all the golf gimmick devices in a pile.

MOLLY:

No. I can always tell when

someone is lying to himself, but

I'm quite susceptible and

frequently wrong when that person

lies to me.

(pointing to the

pile of devices)

That stuff cost me over 200

dollars -

TIN CUP:

Then it's 200 dollars of sh*t...

He tees a ball, hands Molly her driver and steps back.

TIN CUP:

Go ahead. Take a swing.

Molly takes a pitty-pat swing and whiffs, and mutters

under her breath with the ease of a longshoreman.
