EXT. STREET - NIGHT
SARAH appears, stark naked, running down the street in front of a growling red Pontiac driven by DICK CHENEY.
CHENEY P.O.V. THROUGH CAR WINDOW
SARAH, seen from behind, is running with her arms spread wide. She opens her fists to allow streamers and glitter to float out of her palms. For a split second CHENEY cannot believe what he is seeing. He turns to KARL ROVE and RICHARD PERL. They also seem astonished by what they are seeing.
SARAH weaves down the icy street. SARAH is not just running. She is leaping and bounding, as if released from gravity and entered into a realm of pure ethereal space.
TODD pounds down the street behind the Pontiac, carrying SARAH’s clothes.
DICK CHENEY
Look at that! Fuckin' chick! Fuckin' Sarah Palin!... Unbelievable!
EXT. STREET - NIGHT
The road forks, one road going high to a parking area, the other descending to the valley below. SARAH swerves up the incline toward the parking area, while the Pontiac goes straight and disappears down the hill.
EXT. HILLSIDE PARKING AREA - NIGHT
SARAH stands motionless, looking out across the valley as TODD approaches. The night is brilliantly clear and the fires from the refinery light up the sky with an eerie glow.
TODD comes to a stop a few feet away.
TODD
Sarah?
SARAH turns. Her face has a strange, distant look, and she
gives TODD an almost feral grin.
SARAH
You think we'll ever come back?
TODD
(startled)
From Washington?
SARAH
Yeah.
TODD moves up beside her. He doesn't know what to say.
SARAH (CONT'D)
I love this fuckin' place... That sounds crazy. I know that sounds crazy, but I love this fuckin' place... If anything happens, Todd, don't leave me there. I mean it. Don't leave me... You gotta promise, Nick. You gotta promise me that.
TODD
(half laughing)
Sarah --
SARAH
Promise! You gotta promise!
TODD
You got it.
SARAH lets out her breath. It is as if some great weight had been pressing on her.
TODD
(with a laugh)
Let's go huntin'. I mean it - let's do it!
