Clifford, in his element behind the wheel, waves to the locals as he passes--the MAN tuning his Chevy...the KIDS playing in the sprinklers...the WOMAN hosing her lawn...they all know him.
MAYOR (V.O.)
Less than seven years ago, the
founders of this beautiful community dreamt of a new way of life...
And we are--
EXT. GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY - DAY
--where Clifford stands alongside the MAYOR and half a dozen other CITY OFFICIALS in front of a large crowd for the start of a new construction project.
The Mayor continues at the mic.
MAYOR
...a simple way of life. A place
built on American family values, where husbands could go to work knowing that their wives and children were living in a safe neighborhood. Away from the cities and the crime.
Evelyn watching from the crowd. She makes eye contact with Clifford, who winks at her.
MAYOR (CONT'D) Today...thanks in large part to the
men standing beside me, including investors like IBM's own Mr. Clifford Peterson...that dream has not only come true...but continues to expand here today as we celebrate the start of construction on 150 new family homes!
The crowd erupts in applause. As does Evelyn. Smiling proudly at her husband.
EXT. BACKYARD BBQ - DAY
A rowdy celebration BBQ at Betsy and Joe's. The whole neighborhood's here. Betsy and her GIRLFRIENDS. Joe and his GUY FRIENDS. KIDS swimming in the pool. Everyone laughing and drinking and listening to music.
