Scene 27 - Signals

Two notes make up this scene, both written in reverse lettering (white letters on a black background.) A voice-over accompanies each note. Original handwriting is use for Carol's note. First note fades in, stays on screen long enough to be read, then fades out. There is a pause and the second note follows suit. The first note is from Mary's mom to Mary. The second note is from Carol to Bruce:

Note to Mary:

Dear Mary,

Don't forget to take your uniform bottoms out of the dryer. I know you'll be a winner in New Mexico. Honey, I'm so proud of you! Your dad would be too.

I'm glad we had a chance to talk. I see so much of my mother in you. Just remember our agreement, okay? Sweetheart, I'm your mother, but no one is perfect and I can't always be there. Sometimes you have to set your own rules.

See you soon!

Love, Mom

Note to Bruce:

Bruce,

I have to see you-

Carol
