          SIMPLE BLACK ON WHITE CREDITS ROLL TO BIG STAR'S "I'M IN LOVE

          WITH A GIRL." When all is said and done, up comes a single

number in parenthesis, like so:





          (478)

          EXT. PARK - DAY



          For a few seconds we watch A MAN (20s) and a WOMAN (20s) on a

park bench. Their names are TOM and SUMMER. Neither one says

a word.





          CLOSE ON her HAND, covering his. Notice the wedding ring. No

words are spoken. Tom looks at her the way every woman wants

to be looked at.



          A DISTINGUISHED VOICE begins to speak to us.
