Scene I
Let’s get two people on the bank of a river
A man and a woman, both early twenties
He with a wispy mustache, a bowler hat,
Maybe dusty denim overalls
She in a white cotton dress, her hair
Billowing from under a bonnet
There’s no dialogue
But you can tell he wants to say something
To her. He only has eyes for her
But she is gazing toward the flowing river
The camera follows her gaze
She could be watching the driftwood
Or the gnarled roots on the opposite bank
Or maybe just mesmerized by the motion of water
The camera pans in, the frigid river so close
Trickling like chills down your spine
Pretty soon we’re all watching the river
Wondering where it would take us
