Part One: Lost in Riverdale

1. EXT. SOMEWHERE IN RIVERDALE - LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON

Dark green Maxima seems to be driving aimlessly around just about every street there is in Riverdale. DINA is in front seat holding a big white envelope in lap that she consults from time to time. RIKKI
is on phone in passenger’s seat. ELANA is looking out of window in the back. YAEL is sitting in the middle seat in back because the clothes are still hanging on the door.

RIKKI
We’re never going to find this house, are we?

DINA
Right.

RIKKI puts phone down and leans out window at closest person.

RIKKI
‘Scuse me, ma’am. We’re looking for Independence,
do you know where that is?

LADY WALKING DOG
Well, Independence kind of starts and stops and then comes around again and then it stops again. Sorry--can’t help.

LADY WALKING DOG walks away from car with four gaping girls. They drive around a bit more and RIKKI calls HOSTESS.

RIKKI
Alright, she said to wait at the inter-section and
she’ll send her daughter.

Car is waiting at intersection when eleven year-old stick-figure DAUGHTER comes bouncing down what they had thought was a dirt road in a helmet, on a scooter. Car pulls up along side her.

DINA
Hi! So, where should I be going?

DAUGHTER
Oh, just follow me.

DAUGHTER hops back on scooter and starts down dirt road. Dark green Maxima drives behind her, slowly, cautiously, down the ridiculously narrow street. RIKKI, YAEL, and ELANA are passing out from laughter and DINA is trying to drive but laughing too hard.
