                                           2000







               FADE IN:



               INT./EXT. A CAR (MOVING). NIGHT



The shifting lights from the odd passing car play over the

faces of MR. and MRS. PRESCOTT, a pleasant-looking couple in

their late thirties, dressed up for a night out. Mr. Prescott

drives them along a dark hilly two-lane highway.
                                     MRS. PRESCOTT

                         Why do they always put braces on

teenage girls at the exact moment

when they're the most self-conscious

about their appearance?
Pause.
                                     MR. PRESCOTT

                         I don't know.
UP AHEAD, near the top of the oncoming hill, a RED PICKUP

TRUCK is poking its nose out of the short exit lane.
                                     MRS. PRESCOTT
