THE CAR STOPS:
A BEAUTIFUL AND PEACEFUL PLACE AMIDST NATURE, SURROUNDED BY GREEN TREES.
Bree wakes up when the car stops. She opens her eyes. Looks around. Her friends have already gotten out of the car. She looks outside through the window and smiles. There's a beautiful view from the car window. Her friends are standing next to the car and enjoying the view. Olivia turns towards the car and sees Bree is awake.
OLIVIA
(to Bree)
Good morning, sunshine! You
coming?
Bree opens the car door and slowly gets out. The view she sees outside makes her eyes happy again. It is an amazing place. Peaceful. Birds chirping sounds. She smiles. Then she turns towards her friends. They are looking at something. Bree sees their back. And then she sees what they are looking at. It is a very big and beautiful country farm house. And they are standing in front of it. The front door of the house opens and Zach comes out. He starts walking towards them with a big smile on his face.
ZACH
Oh hey! Finally you came! We've
been waiting for you!
Bree raises her eyebrows and looks at him. Just then Kaden appears at the door, too. Bree sees him. He is smiling quietly and starts walking towards them after Zach, too. Bree understands that everything had been planned and that this whole thing with journey is just to bring her and Kaden together again. She lets out a snort and looks at
77.
Olivia with a "I know what you are doing" look. Olivia just gives her a wide, knowing smile.
OLIVIA
(to Zach)
Good morning, Zach.
And kisses him on the cheek. Then moves towards her brother. Hugs him and gives him a kiss, too.
OLIVIA (CONT'D)
(to Kaden)
Good morning, handsome.
KADEN
Good morning, sis.
Kaden's eyes are fixed on Bree. It looks like he is expecting some reaction.
ZACH
Okay, guys! Welcome to the Elmer
family's new farm! It is newly
purchased thanks to Mr. Elmer's,
you see here,
(he shows Kaden)
valuable efforts. He indeed put a lot of effort and money into buying this beautiful place.
It is so obvious why he is continuously stressing Kaden's effort to buy the place.
ZACH (CONT'D)
So let's go in and check out the
house! Once again, welcome! You
must be hungry.
STEVEN
Oh, don't even ask!
ZACH
Great! Because we have prepared a big, delicious, fresh and healthy breakfast for you!
And they go into the house. Kaden gently waits for Bree to go inside and only after she does, he enters, too.
BREAKFAST:
Everybody is sitting at the table. There is a lot of food on it. Pancakes, sausage, fried bacon, etc.
78.
STEVEN
Woow, this is awesome! I feel so
lucky to be hungry!
Everybody laughs. At this moment Olivia sees a pan in the middle of the table. There are tomatoes fried with eggs in it.
OLIVIA
(excited)
Oh my GOD! Is that turkish-style
scrambled eggs with tomatoes
there?
Bree reacts to her words and sees the pan, too. Kaden smiles.
OLIVIA (CONT'D)
(to Bree)
Bree, your favorite, isn't it?
What was the name? It was
something with "men"...
BREE
Menemen.
OLIVIA
Yeah, right! How do you know about it, guys?
ZACH
Oh, don't ask me! It's all Kaden!
OLIVIA
Brother? I don't remember telling you about it?
ZACH
Olivia, Olivia... There are so many other sources of information nowadays. You know. Like f*******:, for example.
OLIVIA
Oooh... I see.
She gives Bree and Kaden a cunning smile.
OLIVIA (CONT'D)
Someone went through a lot of
trouble to make this day
unforgettable.
79.
ZACH
(to Bree)
I heard you love extraordinary
food. Russian, French, Italian,
now Turkish.
BREE
Not extraordinary. I just like
discovering new things.
ZACH
(showing the pan)
How did you discover this one?
BREE
Oh, my roommate was a turkish girl last year. She would make it almost every morning for breakfast.
Bree feels shy and finds it hard to be comfortable as the center of attention. Kaden, Olivia and Zach can feel it. Olivia changes the topic.
OLIVIA
Okay, so what are we going to do
after the breakfast?
ZACH
How about a little trip around the farm?
OLIVIA
Oh, that's a good idea!
At this moment, all of a sudden, Melanie, in pyjamas, enters the room stretching and yawning. Bree freezes when she sees her.
MELANIE
Oh, everyone is here already.
Olivia is happy to see her. She quickly stands up and runs up to her.
OLIVIA
Oh my God! Melanie! When did you
come back?
And they hug each other.
MELANIE
Hey, sweety. I came back a few
days ago. Kaden didn't tell you?
80.
OLIVIA
(looks at Kaden)
No!
Kaden is still silent. He's been silent since the guys arrived. But his face and eyes are shining happily.
OLIVIA (CONT'D)
So where are you staying?
MELANIE
I'm staying at Kaden's place for
now.
OLIVIA
Oh, I'm so happy to see you! I've missed you so much!
Olivia's behavior is very confusing for Bree. She doesn't understand why Olivia is so happy to see this girl.
OLIVIA (CONT'D)
(to Melanie)
Wait a moment... What are you doing here? How did you get here?
MELANIE
(sounds annoyed and
tired)
Ahh... Don't even ask. I came here last night. With these two guys.
(shows Kaden and Zach) Can't you see I slept here? I don't know what I'm doing here but Kaden literally made me come. You know, I don't like being in nature, farms, villages, trees, animals, insects ...
And suddenly she sees Bree.
MELANIE (CONT'D)
(to Bree)
Oh, hi there!
Then she comes closer to Bree.
MELANIE (CONT'D)
(to Bree)
Remember me? That day, at Kaden's place? You brought some invitation?
Bree doesn't say anything. Olivia doesn't understand what's going on.
81.
MELANIE (CONT'D)
We didn't meet properly last time.
And she extends her hand to Bree.
MELANIE (CONT'D)
I'm Melanie. Kaden's and Olivia's cousin.
Now Bree understands that she, too, judged the situation too quickly that day.
BREE
Oh..
She quickly stands up and takes Melanie's hand.
BREE (CONT'D)
Nice to meet you, Melanie. Umm...
Bree.
MELANIE
(smiling)
Nice to meet you too, Bree.
Melanie gives a cunning smile at Kaden.
ZACH
(to Melanie)
We are going to take a trip around the farm. Wanna join us?
MELANIE
Oh noo! I think my mission here is done. I'm just gonna go back to bed and get some more sleep. You guys have fun.
Then she takes a piece of bread and sausage from the table and walks out of the room. Bree looks relieved and happy. Kaden looks satisfied.
CUT TO:
FARMYARD.
The guys are walking around the farm after breakfast.
STEVEN
Oh man! This place is amazing!
(to Kaden)
Congratulations! You've got a nice farm.
82.
KADEN
Thank you.
ONE OF THE GIRLS
So what are you planning to do? I mean, with this place? Are you going to live here?
This question attracts Bree's attention. She wants to hear the answer, too. Kaden looks at Bree. Then he answers.
KADEN
Well, I haven't made any plans
yet. For now, I'm thinking of
using it as is. But maybe in the
future, I might turn it into a
hotel.
STEVEN
Oh, hotel? Woow! That sounds cool!
ZACH
So would anyone like to see the
horses?
OLIVIA
Oh, horses!?? I'd love to!
ZACH
Then let's go see them!
They start walking towards the horse yard. It is so green and beautiful here. There are several horses in the yard. They move closer to the yard fences. The horses are very friendly and seem quite used to visitors. One of them even allows Olivia and Zach to pet her. It is a beautiful white horse.
OLIVIA
She is amazing! I want her!
(to Kaden)
Please, please, can I have her?!
KADEN
(smiles)
Consider her yours.
OLIVIA
(still petting the
horse)
Thank you!
At this moment, Steven sees someone inside the stable.
83.
STEVEN
Oh, you even have a horsekeeper!
KADEN
No, not yet.
STEVEN
Then who is that over there?
ZACH
Where?
Everyone turns their heads in the direction Steven is pointing in. And in the sunlight, they see a cowboy silhouette in the shady stable through the entrance. The sunlight is golden and bright.
KADEN
That must be Ms. Green. The
previous owner. She hasn't taken
all her belongings yet.
Yes, it is Ms. Green. She is busy doing something.
ZACH
(to Ms. Green, in a loud
voice)
Hello there!
Ms. Green turns her head to the sound of his voice and sees them, too. Now we can see her face clearly. She smiles. The guys start walking towards her. Ms. Green is walking slowly towards them, too. She has some of her things in her hands. Once they reach each other, they stop.
ZACH (CONT'D)
(to Ms. Green, smiling)
Hi.
KADEN
Hello, Ms. Green.
MS. GREEN
Hello, Mr. Elmer. Hi, everyone.
I'm just taking my things. It
won't take long.
KADEN
Sure. No rush. Take your time.
ZACH
(to Ms. Green)
So you finally gave up, Ms. Green?
(MORE)
84.
ZACH (CONT'D)
I was really shocked to hear that you took the deal. You were so determined to reject it. I wonder what changed your mind?
Ms. Green looks down and laughs, shaking her head.
ZACH (CONT'D)
No, seriously, I want to know. How did Kaden get you to agree to sell your farm?
It's obvious that Zach is intentionally insisting on talking about it. This is a pre-planned conversation. Zach and Kaden want Bree to realize that she misunderstood their phone conversation. But Bree doesn't look surprised or guilty. It seems she already realized she was wrong before this all.
ZACH (CONT'D)
(to Kaden)
So what did you do?
KADEN
(calmly)
Nothing. I just offered a new deal with new conditions suitable for Ms. Green.
MS. GREEN
(laughing)
You know, Mr. Elmer is a real
businessman. He knows how to
handle these things.
ZACH
Oh, tell me about it.
MS. GREEN
Besides, I have lived here long enough. I inherited this farm from my father. So many memories tied to this place... But after my father passed away, almost everyone left the farm. I'm the only one left here. And sometimes it hurts too much to live here with all those memories. So I decided to take Mr. Elmer's deal and start a new life in a new place. Maybe I will move to the city and join my brothers.
85.
ZACH
Sure! That is definitely a good point! And you can rest assured that Kaden will take good care of the farm.
MS. GREEN
I hope so. Okay, you guys have a good day. I must go and finish my packing. I have to leave soon.
KADEN
Sure, Ms. Green. We will not
disturb you.
ZACH
(to Ms. Green)
Good luck.
Ms. Green nods "thank you" and tips her cowboy hat to them.
Then she goes back to the stable.
ZACH (CONT'D)
(to everyone)
So what do we do next?
STEVEN
We woke up very early today and I think we should have some rest before dinner. Anyway, we have the whole weekend ahead of us.
OLIVIA
Yeah. That's actually a good idea.
I'm so tired.
KADEN
Then, you guys go and get some
rest. We will wake you up when
it's dinner time.
STEVEN
Fine with me.
