Ed flies into frame and leaps into his arms, covering him
with kisses.
TRAILER BEDROOM:
In each other's arms, Hi and Ed roll over on the bed.
VOICE OVER:
Seemed like nothing could stand in
our way now...
We pan with them rolling and continue off them to the night
table, on which sits a framed pair of photographs of Hi,
probably taken by Ed: One shows him full face, the other in
profile.
EXT. TRAILER TWILIGHT
Ed sits in a lawn chair knitting a booty. Hi stands in Bermuda
shorts and an unbuttoned Hawaiian shirt, hosing down the
minuscule patch of front lawn.
VOICE OVER:
...My lawless years were behind me;
our child rearin' years lay ahead.
DUSTY ROAD LEADING UP TO TRAILER DAY
A squad car, its siren wailing, kicks up dust as it roars
into the foreground.
ADOPTION OFFICE:
Hi and Ed are seated on folding chairs facing an agent's
desk. Hi wears a sport coat over his Hawaiian shirt. Ed is
in her dress blues.
HI:
It's true I've had a checkered past,
but Ed here is an officer of the law
twice decorated...
THE AGENT:
Looking, with a dead pan, from the file to Hi.
HI:
...So we figure it kind of evens
out.
His face still deadly neutral, the agent looks back down at
the file and unfolds the accordioned rap sheet, revealing it
to be a couple feet long.
VOICE OVER:
...But biology and the prejudices of
others conspired to keep us childless.
INT. SQUAD CAR
On Ed as she stares vacantly out the passenger window.
VOICE OVER:
Our love for each other was stronger
than ever...
ON HI:
Driving. He looks from Ed out to the road.
VOICE OVER:
...but I preminisced no return of
the salad days.
TRAILER BATHROOM
Over Hi's shoulder as he stares listlessly at himself in the
mirror, a razor held forgotten in one hand, his face half
lathered and half shaved.
VOICE OVER:
The pizazz had gone out of our lives.
TRAILER BEDROOM:
The bedroom is somewhat messy. Ed sits on the edge of the
bed, also staring listlessly. Her police uniform is on but
not yet buttoned. Her hands lie palm-up in her lap, like two
dead fish.
VOICE OVER:
Ed lost all interest in both criminal
justice and housekeeping. Soon after,
she tendered her badge.
MACHINE SHOP:
Once again Hi works as his sweaty gum-chewing colleague stands
idly by.
VOICE OVER:
Even my job seemed as dry and bitter
as a hot prairie wind.
BUD:
So here comes Bill a-walkin' down
Nine Mile - that's Bill Parker,
y'understand - got his sandwich in
one hand, the f***in' head in the
other...
ON HI DRIVING:
Alone in his Chevy. He looks to the side.
VOICE OVER:
I even caught myself drivin' by
convenience stores...
HIS MOVING POV:
7-Eleven.
VOICE OVER:
...that weren't on the way home.
