79   INT: RIVERTON, WYOMING: A & P GROCERY STORE: DAY: 1967:   79

ENNIS, cowboy hat on, obviously in a hurry, comes in carrying FRANCINE and leading ALMA JR.
                    ALMA JR.
          Daddy, I need Crayolas.

                    ENNIS
          You'll have to talk to your mama about that, honey.

Peeks in this aisle and that, looking for ALMA.

Finally spots ALMA in her A & P smock, on her knees shelving jars of Miracle Whip.

                    ALMA
             (surprised, but glad to see them)
          Hi, honey. What're you all doing here?

                    ENNIS
          In a big hurry. My boss called, got to
          run up to the ranch...all the heifers
          must of decided to calve at the same
          time. Thought I could drop the girls
          with you.

                    ALMA
          Ennis, I got a million things to do here
          before I can leave. I don't get off for
          another three hours.

                    ENNIS
          Then I guess we got us a quandary staring
          us in the face.

                    ALMA
          Don't we always?

                    ALMA JR.
          Mama, I need Crayolas....

                    ALMA
          Not right now, Alma. Ennis, you said you
          could keep 'em tonight....

                    ENNIS
          I can't afford to not be there when them
          heifers calve. Be my job if I lose any of 'em.

                    ALMA, JR.(sic)
          What about my job? .
             (gives up)
          Oh, all right then...I'11 call my sister,
          maybe she can keep 'em till I get off.

ENNIS lifts a six-pack out of the cooler.

                    ENNIS
          I may be half the night. Bring home some
          round steak if you think of it.

Kisses the girls. Leaves.

MONROE the assistant manager comes around the corner just as FRANCINE pulls a big jar of Miracle Whip off the shelf. Breaks with a big splat.

She cries. ALMA scoops her up, takes ALMA JR. by the hand.

                    ALMA
             (flustered)
          Sorry, Monroe...I'11 clean it up soon as
          I call my sister to come get the girls.
