EXT. OPEN FIELD. DAY.

The stylishly attired JIMMIE DE LAVALLADE ORCHESTRA indulges in a spirited game of softball in an open field during a train rest stop.

DOTTIE swings the bat and WHACKS the ball. She dashes toward the 1st base as fast as her legs will carry her.

BUFORD
(calling out)
Run, Lil Sis, run!

JIMMIE, coaching 3rd base, waves NOBLE home. NOBLE crosses Home plate, beating the throw by a hairsbreadth.

VIVIAN cheers, jumping up and down excitedly. AUNTIE MAMA pulls a frowning, curious look at her.

EXT. JDL EXPRESS TRAIN—PARKED—TIME LAPSE. DAY.

It is an hour later. The JIMMIE DE LAVALLADE ORCHESTRA and AUNTIE MAMA pose for a group photo in front of the JDL Express Pullman and Observation cars after the softball game.
