THIS BOY'S LIFE
FADE IN:
1 EXT. HIGHWAY - DAY 1
It is 1957, and we are in the deserts of Utah. TONY
BENNETT sings "Rags to Riches" on the SOUNDTRACK.
Breath-taking scenery stretches out on either side of a
highway.
The CAMERA MOVES to reveal a Nash Ambassador as it labors
up a hill. Twelve cars are caught behind the thirty-mile-
per-hour pace. Two cars decide to ignore safety and
cross the solid yellow line to pass the pokey car.2 INT. NASH AMBASSADOR - PARALLEL TIME 2
