EXT. SCENIC HILL VIEW AREA - SUNSET
Jan in the driver's seat of the mid-80s Mercedes Benz 560 SL aimed at the ocean and rolling green hills, John in the passenger seat. They share the area with TWO MALE MOTORCYCLISTS, standing near their motorcycles, helmets on seats, taking in the sunset from the pullover off Highway 46 between the coast and Paso Robles, California.
John and Jan lean into each other to look at the selfie Chloe sent Barbara on Jan's phone.
JAN: The Marlboro man in winter.
JOHN: Handsome fella.
JAN: (SINGS): I got spurs that go jingle jangle jingle.
JOHN (SINGS): As I go ridin' merrily along.
JAN/JOHN Kind eyes.
JAN: A little sad?
JOHN: Like Hunter's.
JAN: Sometimes.
JOHN: Sometimes.
JAN/JOHN: Not here.
JAN: Chloe looks what?
Pause.
JOHN: Pleased.
JAN: At ease.
The motorcyclists put on helmets, START ENGINES, ride away out of view and earshot. Jan puts phone on console.
JOHN: We'll meet him.
JAN: Maybe them. If there's a them.
JOHN: I feel better about this, Jan.
JAN: I do too, John.
JOHN/JAN: Let us pray.
They kiss, buckle up, Janb starts engine, drives to road and away in opposite direction of motorcyclists, out of view. FAINT SEAGULL SQUAWK.
