The Next
Day
Mark wakes (shot of
alarm clock), he goes down stairs, turns on the kettle and prepares a tea, he
checks the front door, its locked, he goes up stairs to Becky’s room and she’s
not there. He grabs his phone and calls one of Becky’s
friends.
M- Hello Molly, it’s Becky’s
dad, did she stay round your house last night? I cant remember who’s house she
is at!
Molly- Oh Hello Mr. Howard, no
she didn’t, I just saw her in town though, if you were looking for
her.
M- Ah right that’s fine, no,
just wondering were she was, thanks.
Molly- Okay, well
by-
(He hangs up quickly)
He Grabs his coat
and gets into his car. Multiple shots of the car and him driving are shown in a
montage. He gets out and scans the streets, rushing past people. Shots of the
levels of the shopping centre, shots of him looking around. He goes up and down
the levels on the escalator. He stops suddenly as he is Becky across, on the
other side of the shopping centre; with a boy he’s never seen before. Becky and
the mysterious boy and Mark follows them; when he realises they are heading for
the station. They cross a road but he misses the crossing and loses sight of
them, he runs to the station onto the platform.
The boy gets on the
train and looks at Becky.
Boy- Well? Are you getting on?
(She looks down, unsure)
Boy- Becky! Just get on!
(She looks at him.)
Mark panics as the
train moves away, tears come to his eyes as he sees Becky standing on the
platform opposite. They meet each other on the bridge, Mark running, Becky
rushing. The stop in front of each other and pause for a moment before
hugging.
