CUT TO PAST:

VARIOUS LOCATIONS

We see REPEAT SHOTS of Hal, and in every shot he’s looking at

camera. Hal telling Oliver he’s gay, Hal napping with Andy

and waving at Oliver, Hal after Juan put in his hair mousse

looking at Oliver, Hal showing Oliver his radiation tatoo...

ANNA (V.O.)

I’m an old senior guy, 78, but I’m

attractive and horny. I’m an art

historian, now retired.

MORE REPEAT SHOTS: Hal with Andy at the L.A. Pride picnic,

Hal playing with Arthur on his couch.

ANNA (V.O.)

And in addition to art, I like

houses, gardens, parties, and

walking with my Jack Russell.

I’m 5’11”, 160 pounds. I’m trim,

gray hair, blue eyes, hairy cheest.

CUT BACK TO THE PRESENT

10/29/07 94.

CONTINUED:

OLIVER:

Chest...

ANNA:

(laughs)

Chest? I like giving and, and

what?

Oliver finishes reading for her.

OLIVER:

I like giving and getting rubdowns

and then going into mutual soft

stuff.

They both smile.

ANNA:

I have a nice house with food,

drinks, friends and me. If you

are willing to try an older guy,

let’s meet and see what happens.

She looks at the photo again.

ANNA:

He didn’t give up.

They look at each other, more vulnerable and willing than

we’ve seen them.

INT. OLIVER'S HALLWAY

Anna walks down the hallway, Oliver follows her.

INT. OLIVER’S BEDROOM

Anna and Oliver sit side by side on his bed.

OLIVER:

What happens now?

ANNA:

I don’t know.

OLIVER:

How does that work?

They look at each other, they smile.
