INT. STATE PENITENTIARY - VISITING ROOM - SAME Judy opens the door to the visiting room, where a STRIKING WOMAN (60) in a tan jumpsuit waits. Seeing her takes Judy’s breath for a second. Then she moves slowly to the table and sits. JUDY Hi Mom. ELINOR Hey. SMASH TO: MAIN TITLES INT. STATE PENITENTIARY - VISITING ROOM - SECONDS LATER Judy is sitting with the woman we now know is her mother: ELINOR HALE (60), an irreverent, manipulative charmer who has probably Dirty John-ed a fella in her day. There’s a palpable distance between them. The vibe is awkward, heavy. ELINOR Lemme look at you. Judy Ann, you haven’t changed at all. Beat. JUDY You look good. You’re still so beautiful. ELINOR Oh, come on. I know I look like a bag of day-old shit. JUDY
Nooo. You’re really pulling off that jumpsuit. It’s very on-trend. ELINOR Working with what I got. I’m-- what’s that book-- Leanin’ In. JUDY I don’t think that’s what that book’s about, but-- ELINOR Yeah. Haven’t read it.
