TRAVIS:

(protesting)

No, no, please. This fare's on me.

Please.

BETSY:

Thank you, Travis.

BETSY gets out of the cab and stands by the right front

window, which is open.

TRAVIS prepares to drive away.

BETSY:

Travis?

TRAVIS:

Yeah.

BETSY:

Maybe I'll see you again sometime,

huh?

TRAVIS:

(thin smile)

Sure.
