Brooke: small follow-ups.

EXT. ROAD – DAY
Camera follows as a car passes through a long stretch of farmland.
Music can be heard softly, trailing. Camera jumps to
INT. CAR – DAY
KEVIN is barely old enough to drive, but seems to be a natural.
He taps the steering wheel, and hums/quietly sings out lyrics to Sunset Soon Forgotten
KEVIN:
…brother’s left here shaved and crazy…
FATHER doses off, head drooping against the window, the soft singing does not disturb him.
BETH is wide-awake and alert. She’s still fiddling with her bandana and staring blankly forward, although now there are no tears.
After a few quiet moments, she joins in with her brother, in a soft mumble.
BETH:
…down and down, gone again…
KEVIN glances up through the rearview mirror and gives her a little smile.
She smiles back. They keep singing together.
The moment is fragile. It always feels like she might break any second.
The song could be any song. I just thought of that one because of the previous working-title.
