FADE IN
INT . DINER -- MIDDAY
TWO MEN (AL and BOB) sit next to each other at a diner counter for lunch (also known as dinner on the prairie). The plate special is sold out. TWO WOMEN sit near each other on the other end of the counter. The TWO MEN and TWO WOMEN (NAMES UNKNOWN) are locals who eat daily at the diner. Between the MEN and WOMEN is THE INTERLOPER (Baby Girl Hodge) from the city who is thinking about the check engine light newly flashing on the dashboard of her vehicle.
AL
What's new Bob?
BOB
I'm cleaning the grain bin.
AL
You using a rope?
BOB
No, it's empty.
AL
Still, you should
use a rope. You could fall
and break a leg. Or worse.
