97. Slip - Leslie

• FADE IN:


• INT. SUBWAY CAR - NIGHT


• MARK sits on the subway, strumming his guitar.


• It's late and he's alone with his music.


• He plays loudly, over the dull screaming of the eternally tortured subway car.


• The train pulls into a station, the doors open and close, and the train screeches away.


• Mark keeps playing, lost in his music.


• The sound of soft footsteps startles him and he looks up.


• ANDI has walked into the train car, and leans again one of the poles, listening to his music.


• Mark smiles shyly and keeps strumming.


• Andi listens closer, then starts singing.


• Mark starts, but continues to play, his fingers plucking intricate notes.


• Andi sings louder, over the subway rumble.


• The train passes station after station as they play.


• Finally, the train pulls into a station, and Andi lets go of the poll, and slips out the train doors.


• MARK
• Hey, wait! Wait!


• The doors slam shut, and Andi turns around.


• She places her palm against the glass of the window, and looks at him for a long moment, then lets go as the train begins to move.


• MARK
• C'mon!


• She watches as the train begins to speed up, then gives him a last mysterious smile and disappears.


• Mark sits down, shaking his head.


• FADE TO BLACK.
