Joe is reading an old "Welcome to Waterford" tourist folder.

The door to the room opens, and Joe stands, looks inside,

squints. Takes off his reading glasses and puts on another

pair.

JOE:

(to the open door)

I, I'm sorr...

(as the door closes,

to a passing aide)

...I lost my typewriter...

Carla brushes past them.

CARLA:

Hi, Mr. Bailey...

MAYOR:

Carla, would you tell them that I'm...

WALT:

FIRST A.D.

Could I speak to my wife, please --?

Camera takes us with Carla into the back room. Past the A.D.

INT. PROD. OFC. & WALT'S OFFICE - DAY

Inside the room, production boards being carried in,

blackboards, schedules taped to the wall, sketches of Main

Street, a large "days till shoot...4" sign. The Old Mill

plate is on the desk.

The PRODUCTION DESIGNER is bent over a worktable, he holds a

compass, and refers to blueprints and a scale model of the

Firehouse and the Old Mill, which are on the table.

Walt is holding glossy photographs, and leafs through them

as the Production Designer talks. They leaf through

storyboards.

We see that Walt is leafing through glossy photos of horses.

Walt has shuffleboard stick over his shoulder.

ANGLE on storyboards of firehouse scene.

PRODUCTION DESIGNER

And Uberto tells me he can't take

this shot, unless they let me take

out the firehouse window.

COSTUME DESIGNER

Walt, I've got to talk to you about

her nude scene.

Carla enters.
