Sneak Preview Part 2

And now, another exciting scene from the upcoming blockbuster motion picture "Short Pump."

FRANCESCA, WIFE OF INTERNATIONAL BLOGGER STEVE COOK (PLAYED BY MORGAN FAIRCHILD, YEAH, THAT'S THE TICKET) IS STANDING AT THE SHOWER DOOR, DISPLAYING THAT DEER IN THE HEADLIGHT LOOK. SHE SPEAKS

FRANCESCA: Good morning. I had the strangest dream.

HER HUSBAND, STEVE, THE INTERNATIONAL BLOGGER (PLAYED BY ANTONIO BANDERAS), IS STANDING IN THE SHOWER, DRIPPING WET, YET STILL MIGHTY HANDSOME. HE SMILES.

STEVE: Tell me about it.

FRANCESCA: I dreamed you and a monkey were missing.

STEVE: Missing what? (STEVE CHUCKLES AT HIS QUICK WIT)

FRANCESCA: You and the monkey were missing in the Fan district. I was so lost and alone.

STEVE: Francesca, darling. It was just a dream.

FRANCESCA: But, I read your blogs about being missing.

STEVE: They were just a dream.

FRANCESCA: How about those six other people who read them too.

STEVE: They must have been dreaming too.

FRANCESCA: And the monkey chow mein meal at the Wok of Gibraltar Restaurant...?

STEVE: Just more dreams.

STEVE NOW DRIES HIS FACE WITH A TOWEL AND LOOKS CLOSELY AT FRANCESCA. HE GASPS.

STEVE: Oh my!

FRANCESCA IS SOMEWHAT PUZZLED AT STEVE'S SHOCK AND AWE.

FRANCESCA: What is it?

STEVE: I had never before noticed how much you look like Suzanne Pleshette.

THE CAMERA PANS IN ON FRANCESCA (MORGAN FAIRCHILD). SHE TURNS TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR. SHE GASPS. THE CAMERA SHOWS THE REFLECTION OF FRANCESCA IN THE MIRROR. THE REFLECTION IS PLAYED BY SUZANNE PLESHETTE.
