EXT. EL PASO INT'L AIRPORT SHORT-TERM PARKING LOT - DAY
Hunter pushing roller-bag and Chloe with backpack walk through the lot toward the Rover.
CHLOE: Do we know if you have half-siblings?
HUNTER: We know that I do not. We know that he has a sister in Texas he's on his way to see because they and his wife are buying a house there. We do not know where in Texas there is. Are you upset that I presumed you'd be okay with him staying overnight.
CHLOE: No. I totally trust your judgment. I mean you left a stranger with a pickup truck to your house for three hours. And I was nervous about meeting Jackie.
HUNTER: Well Jackie's nervous about meeting you.
He CHIRPS the Rover, it's LIGHTS FLASH.
CHLOE: Horse day still on?
HUNTER: Still on. She'll be by around ten.
He opens the trunk, puts in roller-bag, Chloe adds backpack, gets in front passenger seat, Hunter behind the wheel puts key in ignition.
CHLOE: Dad.
HUNTER: Daughter.
CHLOE: You're, like, not even fazed. Or seemingly.
HUNTER: Seemingly. Factually, I'm stupefied. Buckle up, sweetheart.
They buckle up, Hunter starts engine, backs out of frame,
FAINT JET ENGINE WHINE.
