Logo for dating app: “HER”.

We see the loading circle moving, in time with the swirly twirly chords of the beginning of the song, with the text above it “Finding Babes”.

 

INT. RACHEL’S BATHROOM- DAY

 

RACHEL is sitting naked on the toilet in sunlight, phone in her hand. The song continues as if played from her computer in another room. She looks not bored but not engaged. She goes to her messages screen, and notices a new one from KATELYNN, she smiles. Screen shows “katehopeteel: Hey :) Do you live in Austin?”

 

RACHEL clicks on KATELYNN's profile and scrolls through her pictures. Her back straightens, her face grows kinder, more blissful. She responds, screen shows: “raw-magnetism: Why yes, I do.” 

 

She puts the phone down on the edge of the bathtub, stands up, flushes, washes her hands. Picks up the phone, screen shows: katehopeteel: I do too!

 

RACHEL grins. 

 

BEGINNING TITLES

 

EXT. DOWNTOWN AUSTIN- DUSK

 

RACHEL is dressed up for Pride, walking passed the capitol at sunset. She meets up with a friend in the middle of the blocked off street, all the floats and vehicles for the parade starting to line up, they hug. They take pictures of each other posing on a pickup truck, and then get in the bed waiting for it to get darker. 

 

EXT. DOWNTOWN AUSTIN- NIGHT

 

KATELYNN is in the crowd at the parade. She is looking intently at the passing floats, trying to spot RACHEL. She glances at her phone, looks back up at the bumping parade, glowing against a darkened late September sky.
