The Horse Whisperer
The girls mount the horses and ride off together.
INT. ANNIE'S MAGAZINE OFFICE - MID-MORNING
Annie, casually dressed, enters the empty offices of her
magazine. She turns on the light, revealing a large row of
stalls and glassed in private offices. Everywhere we look, we
see indications of the kind of magazine she edits.
She strolls to her office -- the largest -- surrounded by
windows. The office walls are covered with photos, most of
which are COVER STORIES ON ANNIE.
(One photo is of Annie's father MARTIN. A BRITISH AMBASSADOR
with his young daughter on his lap, her arms affectionately
around his neck. Her mother stands right behind them, posing
like a member of the royal family.)
Annie sits and takes a breath. The only photo on her desk is
a family portrait, taken when Annie was given the Crystal
Award -- Robert, Grace, herself and the Award. She checks her
watch -- it is almost 9:30.
INT. MACLEAN FARMHOUSE, MASTER BEDROOM/CLOSET - MID-MORNING
A WALK-IN CLOSET of the master bedroom; one side is Annie's,
one side is Robert's.
Robert stands before his bureau in the closet -- he has just
showered and is putting on his watch and ring which lay
beside his cologne assortment. A FRAMED PHOTO OF HE AND ANNIE
in India -- younger, vibrant, in love... when they first met.
THE PHONE RINGS. Robert enters into the bedroom to pick up.
ROBERT
Hello?
INSERT ANNIE: They speak in dulled, emotionless voices:
ANNIE
It's me.
ROBERT
Hi.
ANNIE
Hi.
Awkward pause.
ROBERT
So, what, uh, what train are you taking?
ANNIE
I should be in by two.
ROBERT
Okay. You want me to pick you up?
ANNIE
Sure... What's Grace up to?
ROBERT
Riding with Judith.
Beat.
ANNIE
I'm sorry about last night. I shouldn't
have brought it up over the phone.
ROBERT
That's okay. We have to talk about it
and we're not always in the same place
... so... I just have to get used to it.
