<br />
To Rocky who initially inspired this idea. Meeting you made me thing that there should be a local romantic comedy that celebrates finding the one that completes you.<br />
<br />
To Dekya and Aids, who initially were to be my dream team in shooting this as a short film. I love Dek's sense of narrative and I am very excited for Aids' skill in post production. Aids even offered his production house to handle the effects in the story.<br />
<br />
To Prince, James, Macy, Urim, and many others, who loved the story from the moment they heard it, and are excited to see it someday shared out there.<br />
<br />
To Lei, who offered to provide a song if this ever becomes a movie.<br />
<br />
To Carl, who I feel might be the only one who can make a comic version of this if a short film never happens.<br />
<br />
<br />

SUNKEN GARDEN - EVENING<br />People are all hanging around in the park. Many are hanging around in groups. Others are just standing as couples. There is a festive feeling in the air. The scene is colorful and cheery. People seem to be all waiting for something. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
EXT. SUNKEN GARDEN, CANDLE AREA - EVENING
</div>
<div>
JIM is where many candles are currently lit. There are flowers and photographs set near the candles, like a MEMORIAL of some sort. Some of the pictures show adults, children, even pets. The people here are more somber. Quieter. </div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;">Jim walks up towards the MEMORIAL. He bends down to look at some of the pictures. He sees a picture of a HAPPY COUPLE. Jim stares at it. He picks up the picture and finds himself feeling sad... jealous.. of the couple in the picture.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">JIM (voice over)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">It was all just a case of bad timing, I guess.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">JIM (to himself)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Bad timing...</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Makes you wonder if someone out there is trying to tell you something.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I mean, think about it. Zombies. Aliens. Super gigantic monsters.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each one happening on the very day you've set a date</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with someone who may just as well be "the One."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm a geek, you see.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm a believer of signs.</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">A heartless romantic.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">A fool.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hear a song and I find myself believing the lyrics are a message I'm meant to hear that very moment. A billboard catches my eye and I realize that a phrase or a statement on the board was a missive sent to me from somewhere out there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I believe in first sight. In ever after. In true love's kiss.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I believe in holding on. In trying harder. In not giving up.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I believe someone out there completes you.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">And when you find that person, nothing can ever keep you apart.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Jim bends down to return the picture. Someone in red knee socks walks past him, accidentally knocking him forward into the pictures. Jim looks up to complain but there are way too many people walking past him.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jim</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nothing at all.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
UNCHAINED MELODY suddenly plays. People ahead of Jim start to part to the side, as each person looks around for the source of the ring tone. Eventually, PAM is revealed, with her hands holding what seems to be a damaged cellphone. She is wearing red knee socks, a thick jacket, and a bonnet. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">JIM </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Unbelievable.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
PAM (Seeing Jim)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hey.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Jim walks to her. People start to step back to give them space. Pam never moves. She stares at Jim as if she was seeing a living miracle, which isn't far from the truth given she thought he had died in the attack of the Kaiju.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
JIM</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You made it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">PAM</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">We both did.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
JIM</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was so scared that you died in..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
PAM</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I fell in. Someone threw me a cellphone. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used it to call for help. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
JIM</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This.. is impossible.</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">PAM</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Ain't it?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">You know, I still don't know your na-</span></div>
<br />Jim shakes his head and before saying another word, leans into Pam. Pam leans in as well. The two enter a magical beautiful kiss, as sparks swirl around them, as bells begin to fill the air, as chanting voices proclaim victory.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The two keep kissing, as the camera seemingly circles around them, then stops to focus on the two. They are all smiles. They can barely look away from each other.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">JIM</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">PAM</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Ooh.. and marshmallows..</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">JIM</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">A whole new bag...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
You barely know me.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">JIM</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I know you complete me.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Golden light covers them. The choral rises in tone. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
PAM</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel you do that to me too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
They lean close, noses touching. Jim and Pam are constantly smiling. They have found each other.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
JIM</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Jim.</span></div>

<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Nice to meet you.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">PAM</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At last.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
The voices singing raise in pitch to Alleluias. Pam and Jim look up to see the source of the singing. The sky is filled with golden angels that have descended from the very sky. Rays of golden light cut through the clouds. A blue cross burns in the sky. It is the Rapture.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Pam and Jim audibly sigh full of frustration.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">PAM</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Talk about..</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">JIM</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
... bad timing.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
They look at each other and break into a bout of laughter. They kiss. Jim gives the angels the finger.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /><div style="text-align: center;">

CONVENIENCE STORE - MID AFTERNOON<br />JIM stares at a hole in the ground. Where the convenience store once stood, there is now nothing but a smoking smoldering crater. Jim is wearing a pair of slightly burnt jeans, a torn jacket, and a cap. His right arm is wrapped in a bandage and there's a dried blood splotch on it. He is about to walk away when he realizes he sees something still intact in the wreckage. He reaches down and lifts out of the debris a BAG OF ICE CREAM CONES.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He cannot help but smile a bitter sweet smile.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">(off camera) PAM</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I guess all we need now is ice cream?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Jim turns around to see Pam standing along the sidewalk as well. Pam has some bandages around her arms. A small bruise is visible on her left cheek. She has dragged with her a grocery cart, and the cart is filled with boxes of canned goods and stuff.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">JIM</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">You!</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">PAM (mimicking his voice)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Yes me!</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The two freeze. Once can almost imagine them wanting to reach close and hug each other. Jim opens his mouth, but rather than say anything, he sees the cart, sees the boxes, then sees Pam is about to say something. He reaches out and plants his hands over her mouth.<br /><br />Pam stares at him, eye brows raising. She obviously is asking, "What the heck are you doing?" Jim tries to pantomime to her not to say anything. To stay quiet. Then slowly removes his hands. He quickly looks around and sees a small rock to use as a writing instrument, then scrapes onto the ground something for Pam to read. Pam leans closer to read it. She mouths the words and we see what is written, "No Words. Each Time we Plan.. Shit happens."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Pam almost breaks into a laugh, but Jim again begs her wordlessly not to make a sound. Pam slowly nods, deciding to go with him on this. She too drops to the floor to grab a rock.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Pam writes: Okay, no words.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Jim writes: Glad you're alive.</div>
<div>
<br />Pam writes: Ditto.</div>
<div>
<br />Jim writes: Delivering supplies? </div>
<div>
Jim then points to the grocery cart. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Pam nods and writes in response: Yes. Funny how no looting happened.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Jim: Depends where.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Pam glances at her wrist watch for the time. Her eyes widen. She rises to her feet and brushes her pants clean. She then digs into her pocket and pulls out Jim's cellphone. Jim looks sad and tries not to accept it. She rolls her eyes amusedly and pulls out a second phone. She mimes, "That phone, yours. This phone mine." <br /><br />Jim takes the phone. As he fiddles with it, he looks up to ask something but she stops him by causing the phone to ring. The ring tone is UNCHAINED MELODY. He looks at it and the caller is listed as "Date"</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
She cuts the call. He mimes and mouths again: 1 p.m. Tomorrow.</div>
<div>
She laughs soundlessly. With her phone, she punches in an answer. Jim's phone gets a message. He looks at what it says:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1:00 p.m.</div>
<div>
MEGA MALL</div>
<div>
By the Building B<br />Julia Vargas Entrace</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Jim looks up to respond, but Pam is gone.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
JIM (under his breath)<br />Just like Batman.<br />Frigging cool.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
INT. JIM's ROOM - LATE EVENING</div>
<div>
We have a happy montage as Jim preps the things he will use for the date. We see him choosing among a set of damaged clothes in a half-burnt closet the best looking shirt. Then underwear, then pants. We see him then go to the corner of the room that is now the bathroom (wider shot reveals where bathroom used to be is now a gaping hole in the side of the building). He brushes his teeth, then gargles. Then heads to bed.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
JIM (to himself/viewers)</div>
<div>
This is it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
DIRECTOR NOTE: Treatment of the following sequence is as follows. The screen will be split into two screens. The LEFT SCREEN will feature Pam. The RIGHT SCREEN will feature Jim. The two screen will be one single long shot from the person's home to the meeting area. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For the LEFT SCREEN<br />Pam wakes up in her bedroom, which we see has holes in the walls, posters of M. Night Shyamalan and Nolan movies, and Adventure Time bedsheets. She goes to the bathroom, takes a quick shower, brushes her teeth while she combs her hair, then gets quickly dressed, heads out to walk a bit, before boarding a cab, occupies herself in the cab by reading her copy of a book called The Gossamer Tower, then finally arrives, pays, and steps down from the cab to stare at Mega Mall.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For the RIGHT SCREEN</div>
<div>
Jim wakes up in his bedroom, quickly strips off his clothes and runs to the bathroom and nearly falls through the hole, backs up and goes to the corner where he takes a quick shower, towel dries, brushes his teeth then fusses over his nose black heads, gets dressed, walks out of the house, then crosses some street to get to the stairs to the MRT, waits for the train, boards it, and then smiles at himself as he thinks, this is finally it, before he arrives, gets down from the MRT, sees the Mega Mall building, and curries down the steps to make his way to the entrance.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The two screens then converge into one wide shot as we realize the two are practically in the same location, but due to the number of people, still unaware of each other's presence. But before they notice each other...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">SFX</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">(MASSIVE MONSTER ROAR)</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Everyone in the shot looks upwards...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
CUT to POV of crowd looking up towards MEGA MALL BUILDING. Rising from behind it, towering far higher than it, is a massive KAIJU MONSTER the likes the world has never seen before. Imagine if Godzilla somehow had a lovechild with Mothra, Cthulhu, King Kong, and the Kraken and that child was one single monstrous being.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In reply, military helicopters and jet planes emerge to fly by and attack it!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
CUT back to EARLIER SHOT</div>
<div>
Everyone screams and begins to run. Pam and Jim are so close, but the crowd separates them as they break away to run for shelter. We hear the KAIJU MONSTER SCREAMING.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

EXT. MEGA MALL RUINS. Early Morning</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Jim is sitting on the rubble perimeter. A policeman asks if he is okay, but he does not respond.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
CUT to WIDE SHOT of MEGA MALL RUINS</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Similar to the opening shot, we see a massive crater. Only instead of the store, the crater here encompasses the size of Mega Mall.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Jim is distraught. We see on his phone "Number cannot be reached." Jim stands up, throws his cellphone into the hole. Then walks away.</span></div>

JIM's ROOM - LATE EVENING</span><br />
<br />
What was once a mess of geek stuff, blank DVDs, and books. Is now a small reinforced shelter with knives stabbed on the walls for easy access, wood nailed across windows to block entry, and lots of canned goods in neat stacks. Most of the geek stuff is gone, although one can still see hints of them in the room. <br />
<br />
JIM enters the room with a pile of clothes in his hands. He fumbles with the wireless phone and starts dialing. While waiting for it to connect, he hurriedly places the stack of clothes near the closet door.<br />
<br />
As the phone rings, he uses his foot to swivel open the door, revealing a gun he had gathered and kept for safety as well as what looks like riot gear. He starts putting his clothes inside. <br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">The ringing stops.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Jim stares at the phone. Slowly, he moves towards it, almost like someone afraid that it will explode. But nothing, just silence. He picks it up gingerly, then worriedly looks it over.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
JIM (towards the phone)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Hello?</span></div>
<br />
Hesitantly, Jim hits the flash button and the dial tone returns. He sighs, takes another deep breath, then hits redial. <br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">The phone begins to ring again.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Jim moves to the bathroom, bringing the phone with him. The mirror is shattered, and there are hints of some dried blood still on the walls or corners of the mirror. Jim grabs the tooth paste and tooth brush, and was about to apply the paste when the ringing stops.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">PAM (through phone)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Hello?</span></div>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Jim, in his eagerness, squeezes most of the toothpaste all over his other hand. He drops it and grabs the phone.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
JIM</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Hey!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
PAM (through phone) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Hey, so sorry about that. You called earlier right?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">JIM</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">We're you expecting someone else?</span></div>
<br />
Jim postures proudly, smearing the toothpaste onto his waist. Whoops.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">PAM (through phone)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Ha. Ha. I heard the ringing earlier.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I just didn't recognize it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">JIM</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Not the Unchained Melody you were expecting?</span></div>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Jim realizes he just stupidly brought up her ex. Scowling, he raises his hand to give himself a face palm. Whoops. More toothpaste.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">PAM (through phone)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Of course not. He's dead.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">The zombies got to him.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">JIM</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Wha... wait? What?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">PAM (through phone)<br />They cornered him somewhere in Makati. He tried fending them off but </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">there were just too many of them. When one tore a chunk of his neck, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">we realized there </span><span style="background-color: white;">was no way to save him.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">JIM</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Oh God, I am so-</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">PAM (through phone)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I'm kidding!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I'm kidding.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">The bastard's alive, but that's fine.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">They realized he didn't have any brains.</span></div>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">The two fall silent, then break into laughter. Jim wipes himself clean, then ends up sitting on the bed.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">JIM</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">So, what was with all the books?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">PAM (through phone)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Manuals.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">JIM</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Yeah, manuals?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">PAM (through phone)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">My parents don't believe the zombie outbreak is over. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"> Part of them still believes those creatures might rise up again.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">JIM</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So they're building a fort or something?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">PAM (through phone)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">They bought one of those concrete bunkers that are being built somewhere in Marikina?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
JIM </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Crazy... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">PAM (through phone)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They were thinking of reinforcing them further. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">JIM</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It happened everywhere. Did you read online? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">China. Australia. Brazil. Everywhere.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">PAM (through phone)</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I lost my net access. My dad used the laptop to bar the window.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: white;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white;">
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">JIM</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, I'm glad you're safe. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">PAM (through phone)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I'm glad you're safe too.</span></div>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Jim just smiles. And then his eyes wander onto the bag of MARSHMALLOWS</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Simultaneously, JIM and PAM speak up</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">JIM</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Hey, did you ever-</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
PAM (through phone) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">By the way, the-</span></div>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">And again, simultaneously, JIM and PAM speak up</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">JIM</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">You first...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">PAM (through phone)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">You first...</span></div>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">And break into laughter. But while laughing, Jim speaks up.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">JIM</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">No. Come on, you first.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
PAM (through phone) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Okay.. the ice cream. I never got to eat it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
JIM</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Really?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">PAM (through phone)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Yeah, I left it in the freezer when I got home. But before I could get to it-</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">JIM</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">The zombies?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">PAM (through phone)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">My father. He found it and ate it while I was asleep. He ate all of it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">JIM</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">That was half a gallon!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">PAM (through phone)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Obviously, you haven't met my father.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">JIM</span></div>
<span style="background-color: white;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="background-color: white;">I haven't met you either.</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white;">
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Tell you what. What if we have a meet up tomorrow.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">PAM (through phone)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I'll ask him if he's free.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">JIM</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">No! I didn't mean that.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">PAM (through phone)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I know. I'm kidding.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">You want to meet up.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">JIM</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Yes. I can bring a gallon of ice cream.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">You can bring cones or bowls or whatever.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
PAM (through phone) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">And marshmallows?</span></div>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Jim grabs the bag to his chest.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">JIM</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Already covered.</span></div>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">A brief pause. A moment of silence. Jim's smile never wavers.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">PAM (through phone)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Is this... weird?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
JIM</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Sorta.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
PAM (through phone) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I mean, bad weird?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">JIM</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">What do you think?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
PAM (through phone) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I think it is more of a good weird.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
JIM</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">That's good.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I think it is more of a good weird too.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">PAM (through phone)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Sometimes, there's so much bad weird that happens you start wondering if there's any sense or reason that things happen. You know what I mean?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">JIM</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Yeah. I mean, just the other day, right?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Zombies?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">PAM (through phone)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">That was definitely under bad weird.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">JIM</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">But then you have moments of good weird that happen.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">You have no idea how dull and boring that day was.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Had you not stepped in that day, I probably would have also become a zombie.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">PAM (through phone)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I have to admit, you're enticing sales talk for ice cream definitely gave that day a different twist.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
JIM</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Ah, but it wasn't that great. Or you would have eaten the ice cream the moment you stepped out!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">PAM (through phone)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Some times, the best things don't need to be rushed.</span></div>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Again, a moment of silence. Smiles not ending. Jim moves to the table where clippings and papers are taped to the wall. A map of his subdivision is there too. As well as a flyer for "Zombie Bancheto"</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">PAM (through phone)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">So...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
JIM</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">So?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
PAM (through phone) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Tomorrow then?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">JIM (grabs flyer)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Yes! Tomorrow. We can check out the.. Zombie Bancheto?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">PAM (through phone)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Zombie Bancheto?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">JIM</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Maybe they sell various weapons and armor or something?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">PAM (through phone)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">But Bancheto means feast?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">JIM</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Ew...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Both laugh.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">JIM</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Tomorrow then. Around 10am I guess? Gateway complex at Cubao, okay?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">PAM (through phone)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">If I didn't know better, you're trying to get an idea where I am from.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">JIM</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">No! Just an honest question! I'm based around here actually.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">INT. JIM's ROOM - EARLY MORNING</span><br />
<br />
Jim wakes up and instantly holds an itak ready to defend himself. He sits up and tries to shake the sleepiness off. He sees the time, puts the itak down, and gives in to a massive yawn. While yawning, he reaches over to the window and peers past the wood barrier to check the streets.<br />
<br />
The streets are safe. Quiet. No zombies. No panic. Just people doing their every day thing.<br />
<br />
Jim smiles. Finally a good day.<br />
<br />
Then one of the people in the street starts to levitate. The other stare in shock. Jim's eyes widen in panic. He adjusts his gaze to see where the levitating man had gone.<br />
<br />
The sky is filled with ufos of all kinds and forms. Various rays emit from the ufos and begin grabbing people. Deathrays start burning buildings.<br />

INT. JIM'S ROOM - LATE EVENING<br />
<br />
The TELEVISION is on. We see a politician on the screen talking to a large gathering of people. People are cheering. All around them are ruins of tanks, buildings, and dying flames. We see damaged ufo ships. We see purple blood in the streets. We see triumph.<br />
<br />
Politician (Television)<br />
...have survived the alien invasion! Together, we united and faced a common foe, one from outside the very planet we call our home...<br />
<br />
<br />
JIM is sitting on his bed. His face and arms are caked with dried purple blood and brain bits. There is no window anymore, just a massive whole where it used to be. There is an alien corpse in the middle of the room, its purple blood still painting the floor. Jim's itak is embedded into the alien's head. He doesn't notice however. All he notices is the landline in his hand. <br />
<br />
SFX:<br />
The number you dialed cannot be reached or is out of the coverage area... please try again later...<br />
<br />
JIM pulls his legs to his chest. Exhausted. HALFA BAG OF MARSHMALLOWS is still in his other hand.<br />
<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">JIM is looking at the closed shop. The lights are out and he is outside the convenience store, staring at the chained up the doorway. The place clearly was ransacked during the zombie apocalypse. He glances at the shut down ice cream freezer a few times, and its clear in his eyes he is still thinking of Pam.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">As Jim heads down the road, we see more glimpses of how much the world has changed. We see how the windows now have bars to protect them from zombies. We see how gates have been set up to protect doorways. We see some people with shirts that talk about the zombie apocalypse. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Jim walks past a stack of Surviving Zombie Invasions for Dummies and ignores the zombie-themed books that have emerged to replace the Twilight craze.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Pam backs away, showing the manuals in her hand. Jim smiles and watches as she steps out of the bookstore and hurries down the road. Jim waves but Pam didn't see him.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Jim is all smiling as he sits down at the nearest chair. Everything seems brighter. Better. He looks up at the top books list and sees the five books on display: You and your Zombie. Could you just die? Have a brain? Walked the Dead. With Out Warning. Her Ashes. Then realizes the top of each title reads: You Could Have Walked With Her. Jim rushes to the door but there is no sign of Pam.</span></div>

He is currently staring at his horoscope on the newspaper and smirks at what it says. His horoscope reads: The Happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything. A BELL chimes signalling a customer stepping in. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Jim looks up to see the most beautiful woman he has ever seen.</span><br />

</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">PAM heads straight for the ice cream freezer and opens it, looking for something to eat. She digs out a few ice cream cups, then has a second thought and pulls out instead a half-gallon of vanilla ice cream. She sighs, then lifts it up and heads to the counter.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Jim quickly tries to look nonchalant, even as he stares at her face intently.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Pam stares at him, as if he said something insensitive. Jim tried to make up for it.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

</span></div><div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">JIM doesn't respond. They stare at each other for a moment.

</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">PAM looks up. She looks genuinely surprised Jim understands.

</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">JIM beams. He quickly heads out of the counter and walks towards a shelf where the candies and other snacks are. PAM follows him, watching amusedly as he tries to locate the marshmallows.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

</span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">PAM (noticing Jim can't find the marshmallows)</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Chocolates would be nice.</span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">JIM</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Chocolates would be nicer. Dark or Milk?</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">PAM</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">What would you recommend?</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">JIM</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Well, if you're having a really bad day, I'd say dark chocolates would be better. They have this way of making one feel special.</span></div></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">UNCHAINED MELODY once again plays. Pam and Jim end up staring at each other and smiling.<br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">JIM</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Definitely a bad day.</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">JIM grabs a dark chocolate bar and hands it to Pam. The two once again stop for a moment, as if there's something that's starting to happen. This time, it is Pam who breaks the silence.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">PAM</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I guess that's it.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">JIM</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">That's it.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The two return to the counter. JIM slides the chocolate into the bag with the ice cream and hands it to her. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The two linger again at the counter, not saying anything. PAM sighs. JIM hesitates, then reaches for his cellphone. Pam decides to give her number the same moment Jim decides to ask for it.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><b>INT. JIM'S ROOM - EARLY MORNING</b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Jim's room is a mess of geek stuff, blank DVDs, and books. On one wall, a collector's replica of a LIGHTSABER is on display. There is a TELEVISION with a PS3 on one side. The laptop near Jim's bed turns itself on at 9am and begins to play music. JIM wakes up to a wonderful morning. He leaps out of bed, grabs his cellphone and loads up PAM's number. He smiles.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
JIM stands up from his bed and dials the number. While it tries to connect, Jim heads to the bathroom, switches the phone to speaker, sets it down by the toilet as he washes his face real quick. He grabs the toothpaste and rinses his brush.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">JIM is sitting on his bed. His face and arms are caked with dried blood and brain bits. The replica LIGHTSABER is now broken in his arms. The DVDs are broken and shattered. The PS3 is smashed in one side. The windows are broken open. He doesn't notice however. All he notices is the cellphone in his hand. <br />

Many are hanging around in groups. Others are just standing as couples. There is a festive feeling in the air. The scene is colorful and cheery. People seem to be all waiting for something. JIM is walking alone, with his hands in his pockets. He holds his head down, ignoring the people who are laughing or sharing stories. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px;">JIM (voice over)</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px;">Sometimes, I wonder why life feels like a movie. Sometimes I wonder why things happen to us the way they do. Shakespeare said it b</span>est: All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><b>EXT.

The group is clearly having fun, with one telling jokes while the others laugh along with him. The JOKER is acting like a fool, miming GODZILLA stomping on buildings. The others laugh out loud. Jim notices the LOVING COUPLE who are amused, but clearly are more occupied with holding each other close. It is clear on Jim's face how envious he is of them.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">JIM (voice over)</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">But sometimes I wonder, who decides what kind of movie we are in. Who decides if we're supposed to be actors in a comedy. Or an action-flick. Who decides if we're the leads of a romantic comedy or a survival horror thriller. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">JOKER roars out loud, and attacks himself with his hands, mimicking KING KONG being assaulted by helicopters. The groups laughs so loudly that Jim almost smiles. The LOVING COUPLE notices him and smiles. Jim forces a smile out then continues walking.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><b>EXT.

There are flowers and photographs set near the candles, like a MEMORIAL of some sort. Some of the pictures show adults, children, even pets. The people here are more somber. Quieter. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">JIM (voice over)</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I used to think I lived in a romantic comedy. Or rather, I really wanted to believe I was in one.

He bends down to look at some of the pictures. He sees a picture of a HAPPY COUPLE. Jim stares at it.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">JIM(voice over)</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">It was all just a case of bad timing, I guess.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: x-small;"><br />
