FADE IN:

EXT. MT. BACHELOR - BEND, OREGON - MORNING

TED ALEXANDER plays to the crowd as he snow boards down the

side of the mountain, cocky and self-assured.

WE HEAR a HISS and SPRAY of SNOW.

SNOW BOARDER 1

Ted, you go man!

SNOW BOARDER 2

You’re looking hot, dude!

TED zigs and zags, big smile on his face, mirrored sunglasses.

SNOW BOARDER 3

Meet me later, sexy!

Ted pivots, comes to an instant stop so he can see the woman

who called out. She’s wearing black sunglasses and a black

leather jacket with a white fur collar.

EXT. DOWNTOWN BEND - TED’S FITNESS CENTER - LATER THAT

MORNING

TED jumps out of his jeep. In his 30s, his hair is thick

and blond, his eyes appear to be lit from behind.

MAN ACROSS THE STREET

Congratulations on the gym, Ted.

We follow Ted’s gaze as he looks up at the new sign,

TED’S FITNESS CENTER.

CUT TO:

INT. TED’S FITNESS CENTER - CONTINUOUS

Ted kicks snow off his boots.

TED

Rhonda, how’s my best trainer?

RHONDA

The phone’s been ringing off the

hook.

Rhonda has zero body fat and a bouncy ponytail.

2.

TED

Any new memberships?

RHONDA

Close to twenty.

TED

Did you tell that husband of yours

he can join for free?

RHONDA

He’s embarrassed about his fat gut.

TED

Remind him he’s the sheriff!

RHONDA

Your new client’s here.

TED

Ms. Hayes?

RHONDA

Summer, she insists.

TED

I better get back there.

RHONDA

I can tell that girl is highmaintenance.

Ted places his forefinger over his mouth.

TED

She’s a model. For Nike.

CUT TO:

INT. TED AND BECKY’S BEDROOM - LATER THAT NIGHT

BECKY, Ted’s wife, sits on the edge of the bed towel-drying

her hair. She has high cheekbones and cedar-tinged dark

hair. She’s a descendent of the Chickasaw Indian tribe.

BECKY

I’m proud of you, Ted.

TED

Thanks, Becks.

Ted walks in from the shower, dripping water.
