FADE IN:

MI C m L , 23, handsome, well dressed, contented, drives; JENNA, 28, beautiful, radiantly happy, sits in the passenger seat.

MICHAEL (V.O.) When I was twelve, I closed mv eves and pictured what it would be-like when I was this age, and this is exactly what I saw. Great job, great apartment, beautiful girlfriend and good friends. Actually, in my picture, the girlfriend was replaced by a really cool car, but I was twelve.

JENNA What are you thinking?

MICHAEL (V.O.) What great mileage this gets.

(off her look) a d how lucky I am.

She beams. He turns to look out his side window as they drift up to the light. The pretty woman in the sports 'car next to them smiles. Michael returns hie eyes to the road and drive- * on. t

Fush in on the backyard toward the dining room window.
