EXT. ELK MOUNTAIN TRADING CO. - ELK MOUNTAIN, WY - DAY
Wyoming plates on the newish Subaru wagon and a late-70s Chevy Blazer parked in front. Boat on trailer hitched to old heavy-duty pickup truck, camouflage-painted ATV in the adjacent parking area.
Wanda and Daisy, 70-something, purses in tow, come out of the store, walk the steps to the lot and Subaru. Wanda in behind the wheel, purse into back seat, Daisy front passenger, purse in lap.
WANDA: Which way home?
DAISY (BEAT): Arlington Rock River?
WANDA: That's what I'm thinking. Coffee at Shawna's?
Daisy nods.
WANDA (CONT.) Are you sure?
DAISY: Yes. It's just that Trudy and Jack might be there. They don't know about Clem.
WANDA: Oh.
DAISY: But they need to. And it's better that I tell them in person. One reason I'd like to stop in.
Wanda's PHONE RINGTONES instrumental version of the Townes Van Zandt song, If I Needed You. She gets it from purse.
WANDA: Hey there.
Just had lunch at Elk Mountain, now off to Shawna's for a coffee stop. Where are you?
She listens, surprise reconfiguring her expression.
WANDA (CONT.) I'm here. My goodness, Tom, did you know you were going to do this when you left?
Alright. So what's the plan?
Alright.
I'll tell her. So call me tonight.
I love you too, you crazy cowpoke.
Oh Tom? Be sure to take a picture. Or two.
I'll be waiting.
(She sets phone in console.)
DAISY: Wanda?
Wanda gets keys from purse, sticks one in ignition.
WANDA: Daisy, would you mind driving?
DAISY (BEAT): Of course not. Is everything alright? Is Tom okay>
WANDA: Yes. Yes. Tom is fine. Daisy, while you drive I'm going to tell you something about Tom you don't know. That Clem didn't know.
DAISY (BEAT): Okay.
They leave frame when they get out of the car.
