LINDSEY

athletic brunette and a bit of a goofball.
JAMES

opportunities to say no.
LINDSEY
Yeah, and right now Im starting to

JAMES

He walks back down the hill.

JAMES (CONTD)
Lindsey, whered you go? Dont run

Lindsey takes off running up the trail. James shakes his head
out of cute amusement and then runs after her.
CUT TO:
EXT. MOUNTAIN TOP
The two arrive with James pretending to tackle Lindsey as
they get to the edge. The vista is breathtaking.
LINDSEY
Wow, you werent kidding, look at

Jersey!
JAMES
You dont get anything in New
Jersey!
Hey!

LINDSEY

She punches him in the arm. He pretends to punch back and

they cat fight until theyre pressed up against each other.
JAMES

LINDSEY
Im still deciding.
JAMES

Sir, with all due respect, while
