"What in the hell are you doing, who are you calling?"
CABBIE
"Calm down Amigos, they are going to think I stole the cab if I don't check in...I'm outside my zone!"
CYNCL
"Okay, sorry...just wasn't thinking, I could be anybody, who cares!"
CABBIE
"Oh, I'm sure you have plenty who care about you, stay positive!"
CYNCL
"Well I appreciate the kind words."
CABBIE
"Okay Amigos, everything is good now...we do the Denny's in twenty minutes!"
CYNCL
"Thank you, can almost taste the danish now!"
PULLING INTO THE DENNY'S, CABBIE GETS OUT, CYNCL QUESTIONS
CYNCL
"Are you stopping for a break, too?"
CABBIE
"Yes, for the bathroom, but I wanted to see what type of danish one would drop two c-note on...these must be really something!"
CYNCL
"Well, we may have missed them, sometimes they sell out early, I'll tell ya what...if they still have some I will get you one!"
CABBIE
"I go to boys room, save me a spot."

EXT: HUDSON VINEYARDS-ALONG WINE COLUMNS-2 PM
BRIAN PUSHING DIRT INTO ROWS WITH TRACTOR, AS SANDY PUSHES DIRT UNDER VINES
TRACTOR KEEPS BACK FIRING AND SHUTTING DOWN
BRIAN
"This carburetor needs to be rebuilt, hear how it's coughing?"
SANDY
"How long does that take?"
BRIAN
"I've got a guy who could probably do it in a day, but I don't have time to wait!"
SANDY
"What's the prognosis doc?"
BRIAN
"Handy Rentals, they'll have me something in two hours, I've got to boar under those root balls and get some air and drainage up in there...that would be a hard doing it by hand."
SANDY
"How old is that tractor anyway?"
BRIAN
"About twenty years, but with a little Love...we can bring it back to life!"
SANDY
"You are thrifty...remember you saying using resources, you could probably just buy something new?"
BRIAN
"The old Wal-Mart dude drove his pick-up to the coffee shop each morning...nobody even knew he was a billionaire...except his close friends and associates, and I don't even know if they even knew how much wealth he had accumulated!"
SANDY
"So, lay low, when ya carrying a roll...huh?"
BRIAN
"Yea, something like that...my phrase is out of sight, out of mind...don't draw attention to those that don't have...it gets out of hand eventually...people always looking for the easy fix!"
SANDY
"Hey Brian, what are all these bumpy things along here?"
BRIAN
"Well, I sprayed them with Miracle Grow, kinda of a series of vitamins and minerals, so it's been about two weeks, so what your seeing, is the early budding of the florets...probably another two weeks and the whole column will weaken the wall of the branches and push through new growth."
SANDY
"So, I did a good job with the prune?"
BRIAN
"You definitely have the gift, you made your vines happy!"
SANDY
"Well, I did touch them a lot, got 'em all horned up!"
BRIAN'S PHONE RINGING
BRIAN
"Hold on Sandy, that's the rental place...yes, this is Brian Cashman, right...forty-three twenty Carpenter Road...oh yea, my account is four-sixty-five twenty...right, need you to bring me a little dozer in maybe an hour or two, thanks a bunch, bye!"
SANDY
"Wow...I'm so impressed, they jump to action when Cashman's calling!"
BRIAN
"It's their bread and butter, I've done a lot of business with them...like when I needed the parking lot repaved to get my zoning approved, they hooked me up in about four hours, they had a whole crew out there pouring and spreading asphalt, they're the best!"
SANDY
"They got the job done, what can you say...you'll be back!"
BRIAN
"These days, it's so hard just to find people you can depend on, even if you pay a little more, you get satisfaction and a little piece of mind, keeps you from going nuts...kind of like, for every action there is a reaction, like when the universe came to be, everything else sort of found it's place!"
SANDY
"That's heavy, so how did that happen...almost afraid to ask?"
BRIAN
"Nobody knows exactly, but we think it was from a collapse of a star, maybe a black hole got sucked into another black hole, dense anti-matter just sitting there sucking all the matter in, getting concentrated, denser and thicker, like a cosmic sauce, bigger than anything we can contemplate?"
SANDY
"What ever your babbling about, it sounds like a big pot...so isn't it easier just to call this the work of God?"
BRIAN
"That we do, it simplifies things, keeps everyone from going crazy!"
SANDY
"So, it's just not Jesus?"
BRIAN
"It's the same thing as what he spoke, but all this goes back billions of years...however, the general principles of being good are the same...be honorable do what you were put here to do, try to stay out of other people's shit, and you'll keep the the spirit world happy!"
SANDY
"So, they're always up there watching...huh?"
BRIAN
"Oh yea, watching us grow our little grapes, loving each other...making approval..."
SANDY
"So, what else should we be doing?"
BRIAN
"Just believe in yourself, those around you, be family with the the spirit world, don't ever, ever ignore their authority or opinion...really important...save your life, make you rich, bring you down, make you bitch!"
SANDY
"Your too cute with that shit, but I'll remember that...makes sense!"
BRIAN
"Just like...when I see you smile...all the things I've been through in my past start to make sense...always figured there was someone like you, just never thought you'd come into my life like this...it's all coming together, like it was all planned out long time ago!"
SANDY
"No offense, but all this is getting too deep for me...hey, why don't you grab a shovel and make the spirit world happy till your tractor gets here, move a little dirt around?"
BRIAN
"Have you turned into the crew leader around here, yes Mam...right away!
SANDY
"Not only will you being moving dirt, but I take advantage of my workers by having them satisfy me several times a day!"
BRIAN LOOKING UP AT THE SKY
BRIAN
"Hey guys, nothing new there!"
