      FADE IN:

      EXT. DESERT ROAD - DAY

      RACHEL, 30’s, drives on a central Oregon highway. Snow capped mountains ring a clear blue sky.

      Car radio: Two seconds of Every Step She Takes . Mute.A beautiful 72 degrees in Bend today. Mute. A few seconds of Ravel’s Bolero. Mute. Finally, a talk show:

      BILL

      I can’t agree with you more. You can’t listen to a talk show today, radio or television, without hearing the word Cinematherapy.

      Rachel’s hand pulls away from the radio. No nail polish.

      BILL

      You’re listening to WKPL all talk radio. Tom, Cinematherapy is the exciting topic these days.

      TOM

      Without question, Bill.

      BILL

      Correct me if I’m wrong, it’s been the hot topic for over a year now.

      TOM

      Oh it’s been at least a year, could be ayear and a half.

      BILL

      It’s changing the way people deal with personal issues. WKLP listeners, if you’ve got a movie that you believe has helped you or could help others give us a call now. Those numbers 555-1515 and 555-6666. Tom you know it’s interesting. We’ve never been able to get in touch with the Movie Doctor himself.

      Rachel smirks.

      TOM

      No one has. Odd. Bill, what’s the movie that gets to you?

      BILL

      When a Man Loves a Woman. There’s some scenes in that movie that really tear me apart.

      TOM

      No question, that’s a great movie.

      BILL

      When Meg Ryan slaps her daughter across the face- (pause) I’m getting emotional just thinking about what it was like for that little girl. I saw myself in her. Growing up in a home where I never saw my mother sober more than two days in a row. But it wasn’t my mother who beat the hell out of me, it was my father.

      TOM

      That must have been terrible. What an awful way to grow up.

      BILL

      That’s enough about me, look at the phone lines.
