"but we can't because Richard Kimball solved the mystery of who killed his wife." "I wasn't thinking of Harrison Ford; Tommy Lee Jones was the real star of that movie. The follow-up, US Marshalls did not do bad either." "So maybe we have him after another runaway fugitive, sort of like a nicer Dog, The Bounty Hunter. He can sprinkle some corn pone charm like when he is the DA in The Client, but we won't have him be so important, some lesser job." "And we will make the fugitive a woman this time, like if Thelma survived driving off the rim." "Yea, and she can be married to a real SOB, but she doesn't know he is a SOB. He can end up dead, maybe his mistress kills her." "Better yet, let him fake his death but her be held for it while he goes off with her best friend or something like that. Wife is put in jail, escapes and goes to find him because she suspects he is alive." "We'll give her a daughter, no make it a young son; they are cuter. Little boy can mention seeing Daddy when friend brings him to visit Mom. Only problem, can't see a women's jail break without outside help....maybe we put her on parole and make Jones her probation officer, and she skips to find hubby." "Throw in some photogenic locales, some atmosphere and make Jones craggier than last time....no romance between them but all else is game....make her like Thelma, or is it Louise." "Well, let's run with it."
