1. Fade in:
1. INT. CITY CENTRE - DAY
ISOBEL is shown rushing confidently through the city center
in a fast pace, on her way to meet JAMES for their first
date. Her hair is long and wispy in the breeze. She has red
lipstick on. She is holding shopping bags and is wearing a
formal, colourful outfit with a lop sided scarf around her
neck.
ISOBEL walks passed a shop window, then reverses backwards,
stops to admire something, then continues walking.
It then cuts to JAMES walking at a slower pace, talking on
the phone to his dad. He is smartly dressed in a plain suit,
including a tie, and clutching a coffee. He is neatly
groomed with short hair.
JAMES walks passed the same shop, but carries on, although
he does look and scrunch up his face.
Both are then shown in alternate clips, before there is a
split screen of them both walking.
JAMES
(sighing)
I really don't want to meet her
(beat) Yeah, I'm on my way now
(beat) She better be worth it
ISOBEL then bumps trips over her scarf and then falls into
JAMES' arms, spilling coffee down him. JAMES is angry and
ISOBEL is shocked.There is a moment of awkward eye contact
where the attraction between the characters is shown.
JAMES
(annoyed)
What the fuck?
Then they pull away and both continue walking in opposite
directions.
ISOBEL
(jokingly)
You split something down your shirt
ISOBEL then hurries off, as JAMES is left watching her leave
with a confused expression on his face. He shakes his head
and stands still for a bit, before continuing walking as
well.
Both characters are then shown sitting at opposite ends on a
bench. It is clear that they have both been sitting there
for a while. ISOBEL has her legs crossed and JAMES taps his
feet, waiting. They each check the time on their phones,
before JAMES calls ISOBEL.
As the phone rings, they both awkwardly look at each other.
