119. Face Of (Reprise) - Leslie






  • FADE IN:

  • EXT. OUTDOOR CAFE - DAY

  • MARK and THOMAS sit at small table looking out over the busy street.

  • The street is crammed with upscale boutiques and designer restaurants.

  • Mark sips his drink slowly, and both of the men slowly survey the street.

  • JAY walks towards them, flip-flops slapping the sidewalk as he speaks animatedly with KELSEY whose flip-flops softly slap the concrete in accompaniment.

  • She wears a dark tank top and a brightly-colored sarong that swirls around her feet.

  • JAY
  • So yeah man, it was one of those killer days, dude. Rode in on the sickest wave. And I was sitting there on the beach later, and I found this tiny shell.

  • He sighs.

  • JAY
  • It was so beautiful, dude, so perfect, and like...the intricacy of it man. I totally saw the face of God. I mean, yeah. God's face, right there on the beach.

  • Jay looks over and sees Mark and Thomas watching him.

  • He roots around in his pockets and tosses an object at Thomas.

  • JAY
  • Think fast dude!

  • Thomas grabs the object out of the air.

  • It's a tiny shell; beautiful in its detail.

  • JAY
  • Have some God in your life man. Dude, Kelsey, the face of God.

  • Kelsey nods as they pass Mark and Thomas.

  • Mark looks at Thomas and grins, rolling his eyes.

  • Thomas nods in agreement.

  • Mark spots the waiter and waves for him.

  • Thomas looks down into his open palm and stares at the shell for a moment and his eyes widen in wonder.

  • Mark spins back around breaking the moment, and Thomas quickly shoves the shell into his pocket.

  • FADE TO BLACK.
