61. Word Games - Leslie

• FADE IN:


• INT. DANCE STUDIO - EVENING


• The studio sits high above the streets. The mirrors that line the room catch the city lights pouring in through the large picture windows and catch them like so many faintly twinkling stars.


• HILLARY and ANDREW spin around the room, alone, dancing slowly.


• She is dressed in jeans and a t-shirt, he wears a loose button up shirt that flows, untucked, over his dark slacks.


• HILLARY
• How I feel? Simple.
  You are a spring melody. I'll float on your streams.


• Andrew twirls her.


• ANDREW
• Bamboo meets soft dirt.
  A rain of tea and nutmeg. Something new blossoms.


• She takes control, twirls him, and he grins at her.


• HILLARY
• You're cute, Sir Abstract. You and your little riddles. Tea and nutmeg? Please!


• Andrew makes a face at her, and regains control.


• He spins her out, and then pulls her tight to him, kissing her.


• HILLARY
• Better. No metaphors.
  I...


• He places a finger on her lips, and she quiets, and they circle the room, eyes meeting their partners as they spin in the reflected starlight of the city.


• FADE TO BLACK.
