Cue: Opening Title.....DRIVE ABOUT

Scene One:

Dark screen...cars on highway sounds

(Instrumental music lightly swelling in background)

Grey sedan passes...camera follows car

(music:
"I like to dream yes,
yes, right between my sound machine
On a cloud of sound I drift in the night
Any place it goes is right
Goes far,
flies near,
to the stars away from here")
Car is moving down an Interstate highway heading North. On the Left side of screen sunlight breaks through a cloud and shines on the car....
Title fades in over scene.
DRIVE ABOUT
Music swells...plays... fades
("Well, you don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
You don't know what we can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free
Close your eyes girl
Look inside girl
Let the sound take you away")
Scene two:
Front seat of the car Old man and a woman are talking....
(Tires whining on pavement ...intermittent wind sounds)
Old man: "Finally damn it. Next time princess try not to schedule a writer's conference the same weekend we are supposed to leave on a trip! Damn inconvenient! What were you thinking?"
Woman: (quietly) ar-hump
Old man: "Did you remember to pack my underwear?"
Woman: (turns and looks out side window in silence)
(Music swells:
"Well, you don't know what we can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me...")
Cut To Commercial......

You very likely will have the privilege to spend time in a 'blue state' or two. Inhale and enjoy!
