Heeere's Jackie

FROM...

Hunter motions the driver, JACKIE, 50ish, sunglasses and ballcap, toward the garage, walks to meet her. 

TOM: Sporty ride.

CHLOE: Right?

Jackie drives in, parks, props sunglasses on bill of SKI APACHE ballcap, gets out with packpack, meets Hunter's quick kiss. She sports cowgirl boots, jeans, untucked plaid long-sleeve blouse. Hunter takes her hand, walks to Chloe and Tom, who removes his hat.

JACKIE: And I was nervous about meeting Chloe.

HUNTER: I think everyone's a little anxious.

Tom and Chloe walk to meet them.   

HUNTER (cont.) So, without further ado, Jackie, it is my pleasure to introduce mister Tom Walker and Chloe. Chloe and Tom, Jackie.

Jackie extends hand to Chloe, they shake.

JACKIE: Chloe, it's so nice to finally meet you.

CHLOE: Likewise, Jackie.

Jackie extends hand to Tom, they shake.

JACKIE: Mister Walker, I'm glad that you're able to join us today.

TOM: Well, ma'am, so am I. Thanks so much for havin' me along. And Tom's fine, thank you.

JACKIE: As is Jackie, thank you.

TOM: Yes ma'am. Jackie.

JACKIE: Rumor is this isn't your first rodeo.

TOM: I been to a couple.

Hunter takes a step toward the Rover, the others follow. He activates the garage door closing.

JACKIE: Did you tell Tom about the quarter horses and kids?

HUNTER: I dids.

TOM: Sounds like a wonderful thing your cousin's doin'.

JACKIE: It's just getting going but so far so good. And, by the way, we have another late addition in my cousin's girlfriend and partner in the program who'll be joining us.

HUNTER: The more the merrier. 

Hunter opens the front passenger door for Jackie, Chloe opens a back passenger door for Tom. Jackie and Tom get in. Hunter comes around to driver's door, Chloe to passenger door behind, they get in, all buckle up, Hunter starts the engine, drives away.
