Bette – I came to make sure they don’t destroy our ranch!

She grabs her suitcase.

Bette – Thanks, Jim!

Jim – Welcome, Bette!

She enters the house and he walks toward the stable.

Western Skies Ranch, morning: Tina arrives back at the ranch driving a Subaru. She walks around inspecting the production cabin with a construction worker. The cabin has 6 rooms: a production office, a makeup room and a storage room on one side, and a large meeting room, a small kitchen and a restroom on the other side.

Western Skies Ranch, morning: Tina sees Kit coming out of the house dressed in a beehive garment. The blonde waves to the ranch owner and approaches.

Kit – Hi, Tina! You are back!

Tina – Hi, Kit! I see that you’re taking care of you bees!

Kit – Yes! I’ve got to get me some honey! In the absence of a real one …

They laugh.

Kit – Let me show them to you!

They walk to the back of the house. Kit points to a row of wooden boxes on top of stakes at some distance from the house.  The boxes are made of pine and each box contains several drawers.

Kit – There they are!

Tina – A lot!

Kit – Make sure your people don’t come near them. They are harmless but can get mad!

The blonde smiles.

Tina – I’ll tell them!

Kit – So how is the movie going?

Tina – The crew and cast will be here tomorrow!

Kit – That’s great!

Tina – And I finally found a house to rent for the indoor scenes. It’s not as big but it has similar architecture to yours.

Kit – Great! Where is it?

Tina – It’s near Breckenridge. This way, we’ll switch back and forth between indoor and outdoor scenes depending on the weather.

Kit – Then you’re all set!

Tina – Far from it, Kit, but getting there!

Kit – Why don’t you come over for lunch today, Tina? We’ll catch up!

Tina – Sure!

A day later

Production cabin, morning: Tina enters the meeting room. There is a large table at the center and chairs and couches on the sides. The room is crowded with people and loud with conversation. She makes her way to the head of the table and stands next to the movie director. She claps her hands to call attention.
