- FADE IN:
- EXT. LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT STATION - DAY
- ROBBIE stands, leaning against a column on the station platform, eyes half-closed.
- He readjusts, trying to find a comfortable position before giving up and staring enviously at the benches packed with other waiting passengers.
- A movement catches his eye and he opens his eyes and lets them dart across the room to pinpoint the distraction.
- AMI walks across the platform, loose pants swishing against the ground and scarf catching a slight breeze and floating behind her.
- Robbie stares at her.
- She notices and turns to find the eyes boring holes in her back.
- She sees him and stops.
- They stand still, looking for each other for a long moment, lost in a silent conversation.
- Her train arrives breaking the peace.
- She shakes her head and races onto the train.
- Robbie instinctively follows her as his own train pulls into the station.
- He stops, looks back at his train, and then hers. He runs for her train as she steps in.
- The doors begin to close.
- Ami sees Robbie and their eyes catch each others' again.
- She pauses, then grabs a pen from her purse and scribbles down her contact info onto a piece of scrap paper from her purse.
- She tosses it out the window as the trains begins to leave the station.
- It floats towards Robbie, then away towards other train tracks.
- Robbie pauses, considers the electric current buzzing through the subway system's central rail.
- He looks at the piece of paper, drifting tantalizingly close.
- A train screams past on the next track, and he turns his head to see it, then watches the paper again, then down to the third rail.
- He purses his lips and begins to run, following the paper.
- It wafts closer and closer to him when a gust of wind pulls it away, down the tracks.
- Robbie sits, staring at the paper as it moves further and further away from him.
- FADE TO BLACK.
