CONTINUED:<br />

Dean holds up the locket and stares at it, twirling. He opens<br />

the latch - sees a picture of the old man and his wife - 60<br />

years ago.<br />

DEAN (V.O.)<br />

I should go back, right?<br />

MARSHALL (V.O.)<br />

Yeah. If you like her, yeah<br />

INT/EXT. TRAIN/TRAIN STATION. AFTERNOON. 6 YEARS EARLIER<br />

Still wearing his work clothes, Dean rides the train out of<br />

the city, pulls out the locket. Reads the inscription on the<br />

MARSHALL (V.O.)<br />

Wait. How different?<br />

Dean gets off the train.<br />

DEAN (V.O.)<br />

You know when a song comes on and you<br />

just gotta dance?<br />

INT. BUS - DAY. 6 YEARS EARLIER.<br />

Only an empty bed remains.<br />

He hears the TV from across the hall. He knocks, waits, then<br />
