gets a text message from his date;


d: so you’ll be there at 4? 

s: yeah, see you then ;)

shot of d as she is texting so that S and D are next to each other as the text is in the middle.

inside: see s looking around, for date. waiter comes up.


w: afternoon, how can i help you

s: a table for two please.


OR


w: -walks up-

s: - sticks up two fingers indicating he wants a table for two-

�"�"�"�"�"�"

scene 2.5


s sits down looking at his phone, when w puts a drink on his table, and points at a girl at the bar. g waves and or winks. 

then g moves away from her seat, walks right past s to go outside. panning on her leaving, focusing from guy to girl. s contemplates, but decides to go after her anyway. 

as he walks out he meets his date, but as she waves, he rejects her and keeps walking. 

pan on s leaving the restaurant, but not from other side of road.


scene 3: the chase


various shots:


g runs (maybe use the sun or lights to make her look dreamy/camera flares).

s runs into people and stuff, starting to get desperate.


shots are to be around the island;


-st. johns (trees)

-cay hill

-lowlands



scene 4: climax/ending


loc: kimsha beach


guy catches up as g goes behind a tree. s sees g hugging b and walking away (not even noticing s). s walks away with despair.


loc: buccaneers


he finds d, and walks up to her.


s: hey sorry for just now, how about that date?

d: yeah sure, in your dreams! -walks off-


s sits down as he is defeated. 



extra: when d rejects s, a bunch of people just come up and scream “oooooh”
