INT: RIVERTON, WYOMING: DEL MAR APARTMENT: EVENING: 1967:
ENNIS, ALMA and the girls have moved to the little apartment
above the laundromat. The apartment is small, not fancy, but
ALMA has manaaged to make it homey on what little money she
has to work with. Clean but spare. WE SOMETIMES hear the
sounds of the washing machines coming from below....
ENNIS comes in to the apartment, dusty, dirty.
TWO LITTLE GIRLS, one running, one toddling: ALMA JR., and
little JENNY, eager to see their daddy. ALMA is at the
stove, has made greasy hamburger.

From Texas?
ENNIS, about to pick up JENNY, stops.
ENNIS
