Bette looks back and pulls Charlie’s rein.

Bette – Whoa!

Charlie comes to a stop and Minnie approaches them. The horses touch nose and nicker.

Bette – What the hell?!

She looks around.

Bette – You’ve got to be kidding me! Did she lose you again?

She sighs and grabs Minnie’s rein.

Bette – Does she know the meaning of the word knot?

She turns Charlie around and pulls Minnie by the rein.

Bette – I should take you to the cabin, Minnie! And let her walk her way back to the ranch!

She chuckles.

Bette – Wouldn’t that be good, Charlie?

They stop by the boulder and the brunette looks around.

Bette – Damn it! Where are you?

She dismounts.

Bette – You didn’t drop her, did you Minnie?

She looks in the direction of the small trail.

Bette – Stay here, Charlie!

Charlie gives a short blow.

Bette – And keep an eye on your girlfriend!

She steps away following the trail.

Western Skies valley, afternoon: Bette follows the trail looking for Tina.

Bette – Where the hell are you?! She mutters.

She walks taking large, resolute steps as she looks around.

Bette – I knew you were coming to end my peace!

She sighs.

Bette – I absolutely knew it …

She increases the pace. The farther she goes the more frustrated she gets. She is looking toward East as she walks. Then she turns to face West and she stops in her tracks. The view in front of her is surprising and … captivating. A sunny field of colorful flowers waltzing in the breeze … and in the middle of it, lying on top of a jacket and resting her blonde hair on a black backpack … eyes closed … wearing a yellow spaghetti strap blouse and khaki pants … is the movie producer who came to end her peace of mind.

The brunette raises her eyebrows. What is she doing? She is supposed to be making a movie … that she said won’t take long. Instead, she is leisurely lying on the grass tanning herself … as if she is on an LA beach. She sighs and makes her way toward the blonde.

Western Skies valley, afternoon: Tina has her eyes closed and is listening to music from an ipod when Bette approaches her. A hand rests on the ground holding the movie script; the other holds the ipod.
