THE BRIDGE

                                    

                                          
Vivian pulls up a chair and plops herself down, sighing and looks forward.
Vivian: It's been a while since we had one of these chats. Don't say it. I know. I'm the one who does most of the talking. I'll try to keep it short, but you're up late anyway, and it's past time I get your ass up to speed
WOODS
The shot pans out to the side showing tents set up and people walking around the campsite. Ian and Rick are walking through the campsite
Vivian(voiceover): Today was day 35. And things are really taking shape. 
Rick and Ian walks past Jadis and Tara who smiles, nodding their heads at them
Vivian(voiceover): It wasn't that long ago we were fighting just to stay alive. 
Rosita steps out of a building handing Jenna a handgun as Jenna sighs her name on a clipboard on the wall. 
Vivian(voiceover): But it's not like that anymore. 
Rick and Ian makes their way past a tree with signs pointing in the direction of all the communities. 
Brian steps out of a tent stretching his arms out and yawns loudly. 
Vivian(voiceover): We're building. 
Lyla steps out behind him, her hair ruffled and hickeys all over her neck. He smirks sending her wink as she smirks back leaning up and kisses his lips. 
Jerry: Dude. Mrs. Dude. 
Vivian(voiceover): We're still ready to deal with this world on its own terms. 
Rick and Ian walks past them, smiling shaking their heads in amusement. 
Vivian(voiceover): But we're not letting it define us anymore. 
Shaun walks up to Laura who hands him a cup, he takes it in his hand and raises it to his lips taking a sip.
Vivian(voiceover): We're getting back a piece of who we used to be, how things were before all this. 
Rick and Ian walks past a sigh that says The Future. 
Vivian(voiceover): It's all happening and there's not a damn thing you can do about it. 
Rick and Ian walks up the steps onto a wooden platform looking out ahead of them to the bridge that's being rebuilt. The brothers exchanges a look with each other. 
CAMP
Ian: You should be happy, Jen
Ian is kneeling down in his and Annabelle's tent. Jenna sheathes her knife in her hilt strapped to her hip. 
Ian: What you've done here. What we're doing here. Someday you'll walk across this bridge with your grandkids and tell them how it was built. 
Jenna: I'm not gonna bore my grandkids to death with a story about a bridge, Ian. 
Ian chuckles softly. 
Ian: It's not a just a bridge. It'll make everything better. Without this bridge, there's no trade. No bullets from Alexandria, no grain from Hilltop, fish from Oceanside. This bridge brings us all together. Be proud and be back in two hours to pack. We're going home. 
Jenna smiles nodding her head and walks away. Annabelle approaches Ian
Annabelle: Did she get taller? I think she's taller.
Ian chuckles, wrapping his arm around her shoulder. 
Ian: She'll be off to college before we know it.
