100. The Scarf - Leslie






  • FADE IN:

  • EXT. BALCONY - DAY

  • ANGIE spins on the balcony, dancing slowly to music playing from an old radio as it spits out crackling tunes.

  • She grabs a colorful scarf and dances with it, the colors popping brightly against the dull sky.

  • She spins, smiling through the scarf, lost in the music and the moment.

  • There is a loud banging on the window, but she keeps spinning.

  • She is lost somewhere in a different world.

  • Her feet tap against the cracked floor of the balcony, stopping, turning, sliding.

  • Her arms move sinuously in the air, and the scarf catches the breeze, blowing it around her face.

  • She laughs out loud as she turns.

  • The banging gets louder.

  • The world stops.

  • Angie has reached over and turned the music off.

  • The light slides out of her eyes, and they seem to lose color.

  • She ties the scarf to the balcony railing, and it's red tail trails off the edge, still dancing in the wind.

  • She peers through the dirty screen.

  • A large man stands in the room, unzipping his pants.

  • He has already taken his shirt off, and stands in a sweat-stained t-shirt under a slowly whirling fan.

  • She closes her eyes, trying to hold onto a moment already lost, then opens the door leading into the small room.

  • She draws the curtains, leaving them slightly open.

  • The man pushes her to the floor in front of him.

  • FADE TO BLACK.
