(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.)
