(Francesca, tiredly, sees a TRUCK driving toward her house there steps out ROBERT KINCAID.)

ROBERT Sorry to bother you, but I've got a feeling I'm lost.
FRANCESCA Are you supposed to be in Iowa?
ROBERT (laughs) Yeah.
FRANCESCA Well, you're not that lost.

(He laughs. She puts down her tea and crosses to him.)
ROBERT I'm looking for a covered bridge out this way... uh... wait a minute --

(He looks through a small notepad for the name. Francesca finds herself scanning his body.)

FRANCESCA Roseman Bridge?
ROBERT That's it.
FRANCESCA Well, you're pretty close. It's only about two miles from here.
ROBERT Oh, terrific. Which way?
FRANCESCA Well, I can take you if you want.

(Robert is pleased, but a bit surprised as is Francesca who anxiously recants)
FRANCESCA (cont'd) Or I can tell you. I can take you or tell you. It's up to you. I don't care. Either way.
(Robert smiles finding her sudden nervousness charming.)
ROBERT Well –

(Suddenly, from the opposite direction of the road, A CHEVY barrels by. The driver, FLOYD, toots his horn.)

FLOYD Howdy, Francesca.
FRANCESCA Hey, Floyd.

(He drives off. Francesca knows they've been seen. Slightly annoyed by Iowain neighborliness, she turns to Robert and with some defiance says.)

FRANCESCA (cont'd) It'd be better if I show you, I think.
ROBERT If I'm not taking you away from anything.
FRANCESCA No. I was just going to have some iced tea then split the atom, but that can wait. (He smiles) I just have to get my shoes.

(Robert watches her as she turns and heads back to the house. He watches her lift her blouse and tuck it into her jeans, revealing her shapely hips and buttocks. He turns back to the truck and notices the mailbox -- MR & MRS. RICHARD JOHNSON. He nods as if he knew all along and begins to make room on the front seat for Francesca.)
