meet Barbara, John and Jan

EXT. CAFE PATIO - DAY

Barbara, 50-ish John and Jan, mid-70s..

JOHN: Do we know where exactly they're riding horses.

BARBARA: North of Ruidoso, end quote. Jackie's family has land and her cousin manages one of the stables in the area.

JAN: Do we know what Jackie does for a living?

BARBARA: History professor at New Mexico State. From whom Chloe received a letter last week.

JOHN: Speaking of which, are she and Hunter going to meet the Arizona coach?

BARBARA: No. Just walk the campus, check out Tucson.

Jackie's PHONE RINGTONES TYPEWRITER CLATTER. She picks up after the ZING OF RETURN.

BARBARA (cont.): Hey.

(Her face expresses surprise as she listens.)

Hunter, I trust your judgment.

They're right here.

Okay.

You or Chloe take a picture, okay?

Can't wait.

Bye.

(She pockets phone.)

JOHN: Take a picture of what?

BARBARA: Whom, dad. Tom Walker from Texas is at Hunter's house. He's spending the night and leaving in the morning. Chloe will call tonight.

They look at each other. WAITER arrives.
