1. Resolution - Leslie

FADE IN:

EXT. PARK BENCH - EARLY MORNING

BRYAN sits on a park bench clutching a cup of coffee and
watching the steam rise cup, matching the patterns of the
mist lazily removing itself from the damp ground.

He is dressed in dark jeans and a thick pea coat.

SICILY jogs in place beside him trying to keep warm. She is
dressed in jeans and a thick ski coat.

SICILY
Why do we do this?

Bryan shivers.

SICILY
I mean, I know why we do it,
but for goodness sakes...
the weather could cooperate a bit.

SICILY
You make any New Year's resolutions?

Bryan looks at a JOGGER running past.

SICILY
Yeah, you don't really seem to be
the type. I don't really buy into
the whole resolution thing
either. I make weekly
resolutions.

A SECOND JOGGER runs past.

SICILY
Holy mother of Buddha! That's a
gorgeous man right there, I'm not
sure what it is about runners
that gets to me but boy...Do you
think I'm crazy for thinking
heaving, sweaty, stinky men are
beautiful?

Bryan continues sipping his coffee.

SICILY
So back when I was into the whole
resolution thing, I made one
involving early mornings and park
benches...you remember that one?

Bryan continues to stare at the mist.

SICILY
Well, Bryan dearest, I've got to
go. You take care ok? Don't go
freezing to death on me. And
tomorrow, I'm buying the coffee.

She stands up from the park bench and slowly walks away.

The GORGEOUS JOGGER runs up to the bench.

GORGEOUS JOGGER
Hey babe...how's Sicily?

Bryan looks up.

BRYAN
Crazy as ever. I've found if I
don't engage, it makes life so much
easier.

GORGEOUS JOGGER
Still talking about her
resolution?

BRYAN
Yeah...

GORGEOUS JOGGER
Still thinks I'm gorgeous?

BRYAN
Well you are. Now get going, you
have another lap before you get
coffee...it's getting cold, and
so am I.

The gorgeous jogger blows a kiss and runs off down the
path.

FADE TO BLACK.

I know the formatting isn't quite right yet, but I'm working on it, and hopefully it will be right in a few days.
