INT. TRUCK - DAY
Tom, sporting aviator sunglasses, drives on a two-lane highway surrounded by fenced open grassland and distant hills. Traffic in opposite direction on the other side of a grass median strip. He looks out his window at the rolling freight train that makes a horizon line between earth and blue sky, then out the passenger window at cattle that dot the land beyond a house and barn. A horse's gaze aimed at him from the back of the horse trailer with Colorado plate ahead of him. He turns on the radio to static, punch-tunes it to ending of the Willie Nelson instrumental Bandera, smiles, the song ends, a moment of silence before Glen Campbell's cover of Galveston starts. Tom turns it up, sings along to the end of "sea winds blowing."
