121. Airport Safety Announcement - Leslie

• FADE IN:


• INT. AIRPORT SECURITY CHECK - DAY


• SOPHIA stands in the line for security check and stares straight ahead.


• The place is packed with people but none grab her attention.


• She wears a gypsy skirt and a simple blouse; her head is tightly wrapped in a scarf.


• She carries her young daughter in a child carrier on her chest.


• She stands in the line, face puffy and red from crying, the occasional tear still trailing down her wet cheek.


• She makes no attempt to wipe the tears away, simply stands, occasionally leaning to whisper something to her child.


• The line inches forward.


• Her cell phone vibrates in her purse.


• She looks up at the ceiling and begins whispering, still so soft that her flow of words is impossible to hear.


• A TSA agent, notices and starts pushing through the line to get to her.


• She looks down, removes a small trigger from her purse.


• The TSA agent starts running.


• TSA AGENT
• Bomb! Bomb!


• Sophia depresses the trigger and nothing happens.


• She tries again and again, her face locked on the ceiling, glistening in the fluorescent light.


• She is tackled by TSA agents, baby and all, and as they stand above her, yelling, she simply stares at the ceiling and cries.


• FADE TO BLACK.
