Hunter's call.
______________
Jan plays NIBLICK.
JOHN: Speaking of which, did Brian get his driver yet?
BARBARA: Yesterday. He's at the range right now.
JAN: When is his son coming up?
BARBARA: Next Saturday.
JAN: Nervous?
BARBARA: Yes.
JOHN: Have you checked his social media footprint?
BARBARA: Cursory glance. A lot of Cuesta baseball.
JAN: He's a pitcher?
BARBARA: Catcher.
JAN: Catcher.
BARBARA: And a kind of blog about the restoration of that El Camino I might have told you Bran got him.
JOHN/JAN: You did.
JOHN: Which brings up Chloe's birthday.
BARBARA: Which reminds me to tell you that Hunter's going to call you about that. I guess you've already talked about a car?
JOHN: A brief email exchange in which he brought it up.
Barbara picks up when her PHONE RINGTONES TYPEWRITER SOUND.
JAN: Right on cue.
BARBARA: Ears burning?
Dad and I were just talking about Chloe's birthday and car.
She's here.
(Barbara's face expresses her surprise. She looks at John and Jan looking at her.)
I'm here. Speechless.
Well, Hunter, I'm going to defer to you.
(Jan and John look at each other.)
My immediate gut feeling is that I trust yours.
I will.
I'll be waiting for her call.
Alright. Oh, Hunter, maybe take a picture?
Bye.
(Barbara sets phone down.)
JAN/JOHN: Drumroll.
BARBARA: Tom Walker from Texas is at Hunter's house. He's spending the night.
Barbara picks up when her PHONE BUZZES. She stares at picture we see over Jan's and John's shoulders when she hands John the phone is a selfie Hunter has taken that includes Tom standing next to him, hat in hand, tribal masks behind them. Jan and John stare, John hands phone to Barbara, who stares at the picture.
JOHN: A middle name would be good.
BARBARA: Check.
Hunters send selfie w/Tom.
