Scene 34 - Break Away

(Mary, Amica and Becky standing in front of Hotel on Santa Fe Plaza. They are all adorned with trophies from a just-completed shopping spree. Amica is wearing a cowboy hat.)

(Bruce's rerntal convertible pulls up in front of them.)

Bruce: Get in.

Mary: But we were going to...

Bruce: Get in.

(Mary jumps into car.)

(Bruce's car moving along the open road.)

Mary: Wow, I've never been kidnapped before.

Bruce: Why? Are you tired?

Mary: I don't get it. (Pause. She smiles, leans back in seat.) So, where are you taking me?

Bruce: Oh, I figured we'd go for a little spin. While away the afternoon. Why? Got plans?

Mary: No. We were going to go back to the Hotel and maybe go swimming in the pool.

(Change of scene. Amica and Becky lying by pool in lounge chairs. Both have on sunglasses, hats, and are drinking some type of fancy ice tea drink.)

Becky: Wow, it's really sunny.

Amica: I hear you.

(Pause - They continue with their drinks)

Amica: I hope I don't forget how to play softball Monday.

Becky: Hey, we might go horseback riding on Sunday. Think Mary might make it?

(Pause - They start up with their drinks again. Amica smiles.)

(Back to Bruce's car - We come into the middle of conversation.)

Mary: That was good! Make up another one.

Bruce: (Pause) Nice girls - Nice girls finish all their supper, then savor the milky downs of lust like cream and chocolate melt on a silver platter... Are you a nice girl?

Mary: (Does a little involuntary twitch. Kind of like a body wave.) Whoo!

(Distant shot of Bruce's car approaching. Camera tracks car, zooming in. Car stops just beneath camera as zoom motion ends, focusing on Mary. Bruce turns to his right to look at her fully. Mary is sitting up on seat, hands outstretched, looking up to sky, smiling.)

Mary: I am bathed in light!

(Echo of Mary's voice saying "light". Accompanying this are various shots of nearby canyon walls.)
