18.
INT. MINI-VAN - AFTERNOON Ethan and Julie each wear headphones, watching a movie on the built in DVD player. Jim stares at the road, Tabitha stares out the passenger window. You get the feeling they've been driving in silence for a while. Tabitha picks up her phone. Sighs. JIM Whatsamatter? TABITHA I'm not getting any service. JIM We're kinda in the middle of nowhere. TABITHA It's supposed to be a NATIONWIDE network. She puts her phone away, frustrated. JIM Hey, you remember the first time we made this drive? A smile creeps into the corners of Tabitha's mouth. JIM (CONT'D) As I recall, I was driving my '83
Volvo, which had metal on metal posing as brakes and a passenger side door that wouldn't open. TABITHA That car was a deathtrap. JIM That car was a champ. TABITHA God, I was terrified my parents were gonna hate you. JIM They didn't though. TABITHA No, they didn't.
Tabitha's smile becomes bittersweet.
