SCENE 1. EXT. M'S CAR - SATURDAY. NIGHT.

M and V sit in the front of a Jeep, lit only by the glow of the dashboard and the intermittent flash of a passing streetlight. M drives, V sits in the passenger seat. The windows next to each are cracked, with the wind tugging at the stray strands of hair beyond the control of hair elastics.

M: What I find so amazing about Bill Murray is that he became famous and established by being the crazy, outlandish character. Yet this resurgange features such deadpan, almost morose men. And he just nails it.

V: I never thought, growing up, that I'd be able to see a film with him as a serious character and not think of him as a SNL character. But you just lose yourself in what he's doing. He's just so damn good.

M: Mmmhmmm.

M pulls up to a traffic light. It turns red as they approach. A Mercedes SUV pulls up to V's right.

V: I'm glad you liked it better than "Lost in Translation." I still can't believe you didn't like that movie.

M: Sophia! Ugh!

V and M laugh, then quiet down. Each are quietly contemplating "Broken Flowers," the film they had just seen at the Art Deco-inspired movie theater in Brookline. Each individually become aware of the radio broadcast audible from the Mercedes. Neither look at the other car, but both listen.

TALK SHOW HOST: Now keep in mind that the technique for making this wine varies depending on the grape being used and the desire intensity of the flavor. Red grapes will require less time boiling in the water than their green counterparts. White grapes require the least in order to keep that crisp, fresh flavor.

The light turns green.

TALK SHOW HOST: Without the need to concern oneself with fermentation...

The Mercedes driver drives away. His profile is never visible, save a glimpse of arm against the neon orange dashboard lights visible as he moves ahead of the Jeep. M and V pause for a moment and turn to face each other. They pause. Then laugh.

M: It never fails. Whenever I go to a really good movie, there will be some moment during the drive after that feels like it came right out of the movie. That was it.
