PAGE ONE (4 PANELS)

PAGE 1, Panel 1

Bird’s eye view of CHLOE O’BRIEN, 40, sits with her feet propped up, a soft, contented smile on her face, still in her button-down shirt, pencil skirt and stilettos; her hair in a bun.

A freshly poured glass of wine in one hand and a remote control in the other hand pointed at a television screen that reads, “Netflix”.

CHLOE:

(thought bubble) Netflix and chill.

PAGE 1, Panel 2

 

The scene expands to her gazing at the empty love seat next to her. Her smile has faded.

The lines in her forehead are deeply creased as she puts the glass of wine to her lips.

PAGE 1, Panel 3

Chloe, shoes off, hair down, shirt loosened up, glass now empty, sits with her laptop open on her lap.

CHLOE:
What am I looking for… ? Well, that’s easy….

Page 1, Panel 4

A daydream scene with Chloe, hair flowing in the wind, on a white horse holding onto a shirtless, muscular man with a rose between his teeth, gallop across a beach.

Chloe at a patio table bar, set for two. In front of her a half empty basket of chips and her almost empty beer mug.

The other half of the table and the setting is untouched.

MARK, 50, a scrawny, balding, wimp struts up to the table.

MARK:

(pointing and speaking to a Waitress)

Hey Doll. How about some buffalo wings? (to Chloe)

Sorry, I’m a little late. I was looking for a coupon.

Page 2, Panel 3

CLOSE UP: MARK
Eyes bugged out, sweat literally dripping up off his chin and neck.

MARK:
Who knew that buffalo wings meant that they would be so hot?!

Page 3, Panel 3

Dennis smiles while pushing the check towards Chloe.

DENNIS:
Thank you so much for a lovely lunch.

Page 3, Panel 4

A few minutes later by Chloe’s car. The couple stands a few feet apart. Dennis steps towards Chloe, going in for a kiss. Chloe quickly turns her cheek and gives him a hasty hug.

Bird’s eye view of CHLOE O’BRIEN, sits with her feet propped up, a soft, contented smile on her face, in flannel pajamas.
