117. Capture - Leslie

• FADE IN:


• EXT. STATE PARK - DAY


• Anna sits, feet dangling off a cliff as she stares at the mountains rising in front of her.


• A camera dangles from her neck.


• She flips her hair out of her face, somehow having managed to stay perfectly groomed despite the long hike.


• BROM stands behind her, and his t-shirt streaked with sweat and his tan shorts dusty from the trail.


• He plays with the settings on her camera, raises it, and studies the landscape in front of him.


• He hits the shutter and then studies the LCD screen for the results.


• Brom sighs loudly.


• ANNA
• Still not getting it?


• BROM
• I don't know what I have to do.


• ANNA
• I quit trying.


• BROM
• What?


• ANNA
• With stuff like this.


• She waves his hand at the beautiful landscape.


• ANNA
• You get so busy trying to capture the moment that you lose it. Then you have cruddy pictures and cruddy memories. Besides, I suck at capturing landscapes.


• BROM
• I hear it's all in the lens.


• ANNA
• Probably.


• Brom hangs the camera around his neck and sits next to Anna.


• BROM
• Fine, let's enjoy the moment.


• ANNA
• Oh yeah, you sound like you're full of joy.


• BROM
• Stupid picture. Hey! Why do you still carry your camera if you've quit trying to capture these moments?


• She grins at him.


• BROM
• Let me see that.


• He pulls the camera from her and over her head.


• ANNA
• Ow!


• BROM
• Not sorry.


• He turns the camera on and flips on the display.


• A beautiful picture of the landscape sits on the screen.


• BROM
• What? You hypocrite!


• Anna keeps grinning.


• ANNA
• How about we enjoy that moment?


• He stares sulkily at his own mediocre shot, until she playfully punches him in the arm.


• BROM
• Fine, enjoying moment, Ms. I-don't-capture-moments-on-my-camera.


• She laughs and raises her camera and takes a shot.


• FADE TO BLACK.
