Sarah reaches out, turning off the television.


8. INT./EXT. -- STEVE'S CAR -- DRIVEWAY -- MORNING

Sarah walks out of the house while Steve sits in his car talking on his cellular phone. A CLOSE UP of the phone number book in Steve's briefcase with the name -- Digital Integrated Industries.

We CUT BACK to Steve closing the briefcase, then turns the ignition key. He backs out of the driveway as Sarah waves to him. He waves back then drives away.

9. EXT. -- STREET IN PASADENA -- MORNING

John rides in a black Chevy truck with his friend, DAVE THURMAN, a sixteen year old who just got his drivers license. Long blonde hair, blue eyes, loose fitting jeans and black shirt, John Lennon type sunglasses. A type of generation X California computer geek. Dave turns the truck onto a side street. John stares nonchalantly out of the window.

Dave
John?

John
(distracted)
What?

Dave
Find some good stuff on the radio.

John reaches over, carelessly tunes the radio. MUSIC fills the truck. He continues to look out the window.

Dave
What's bugging you man?

John
My mother and Steve as usual.

John reaches into his book bag pulls out his work uniform, a red striped shirt, blue pants, a chef's hat. Seeing him wear the uniform would be too cruel for him and us.
