Scene 7 - Bruce and Mary

(Bruce is seen sitting in his car, starting the engine. We see Mary, out of focus, come up to the car from the passenger's side, then disappear off camera as she reaches the passenger's door.)

(Mary reaches into Bruce's front seat pessenger window and unlocks car door from inside. She opens door, glances down into seat.)

(Mary contemplates passenger's seat with Bruce's collection of Power Bars © still on it. She pauses, then in one quick motion wipes them all onto the floor with a sweep of her hand.)

(Mary sits down, closes car door. She looks up at Bruce, giving him a wide, almost comical, smile.)

Bruce: May I help you?

Mary: (Mary looks over, rubs her back on the back of the seat. She glanes down at the sports bars at her feet, then looks up at Bruce, peering under her sunglasses.)

Mary: Got a sweet tooth, huh?

Bruce: What are you doing?

Mary: What are you doing?

Bruce: I'm starting my engine.

Mary: Your engine's already started.

(Camera viewpoint from back seat as camera shows Bruce and Mary looking at each other. Sound of engine idling.)

(Carol approaches from the distance, seen through front windshield, out of focus, between Bruce and Mary. Carol comes up to car, approaching on driver's side.)

Mary: (Nods toward front windshield, still looking at Bruce.) Here comes your girlfriend.

Carol: (Come's up to driver's window) Okay, you two. We are meeting at the front fountain at Great America right inside the entrance at 5:00 sharp. Be there or be square. You'll have to fend for yourselves.

(Carol looks at Mary, pokes head into window.) And one day, Pet, you'll have to explain to me how a girl your age gets poison oak on her back...

(Close up of Mary's left fist punching Bruce in the leg.)

(Bruce begins to back car up.)

Mary: (To Carol) "C" ya! Don't wanna "B" ya!

(Bruce's car drives from camera view.)
