Shea and Thomas walk out the door.
INT. SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILWAY -- LATE AFTERNOON. Elsa sits in a packed rail car. She gazes out the window as pine trees give way to prairie ... A MAN IN HIS 30’s -- smile of a salesman, sits across from her. Studies the soft curves of her cheek. She feels him looking. His name is CALVIN. CALVIN You’re staring out that window like there’s a prize to be had. You ain’t half-wrong. ELSA Never seen a sunset. CALVIN Sun don’t set where you’re from? Elsa smiles. ELSA The pine trees block it. CALVIN Tennessee ... ELSA How’d you know? CALVIN I know the pines. And I know the accent. Where you headed? ELSA West. CALVIN ... All by yourself? ELSA With my family. Calvin smiles. CALVIN I don’t see much family. Just see you ... Elsa’s smile fades.
