The SAN PIEDRO ISLAND ferry approaches the docks, blanketed
as if by volcanic ash. Behind HOOKS late model Chevy, the
deck is crowded with people, a number of other cars, and even
a bus.

EXT. NIGHT - HOLLYWOOD HILLS, LOS ANGELES
Darkness. Distant sounds of freeway traffic. Then the closer
sound of a car - its headlights illumine an oleander bush and
the limbs of an Eucalyptus tree. Then the headlights turn - a
street sign is suddenly brightly lit. The words on the sign
read... "Mulholland Drive." The car moves under t

Fred looks her over, shes sexy without trying.
FRED

Renee sits down on a couch and sips her drink. Fred comes
over to her, kisses her on the neck, which makes her laugh.
FRED

RENEE

FRED
Thats why I married you.
RENEE

Fred brushes her cheek with his fingers, allowing t

his life to blazing the trail through
the most distant, unexplored galaxies,
opening up the farthest frontiers of space.
