At First Sight
|
AT FIRST SIGHT EXT. VALLEY - DUSK Gold light dappling across a valley that seems to reach on forever. We ease back, revealing more - taking in the visual feast - finally discovering a seated figure facing out over the valley - a DOG at his feet. VIRGIL ANDERSON, life ahead of him - someone seemingly at ease with himself. As we watch him a moment - SOUNDS become prominent - whistle of the wind through the grass - a bird's wings as it takes flight - a tree branch creaking under its own weight. And as he sits there, listening, we see the last rays of sunlight slip from the day. BLACK - and our TITLES come up. Then out of the darkness come a pair of HEADLIGHTS. - and we're: EXT. NEW YORK TURNPIKE - INTO PINECREST - DUSK An old BMW 2002 making its way up the Taconic Parkway. INT. BMW - DUSK On the radio: Whitney Houston's "I'll Always Love You". AMY TREMONT, 30's, driving, on the phone. AMY I'm lost Betsy, and you know me - I don't wear lost well - wait, wait I'm losing you... (the cell phone glitches) I'm pulling over before you disappear forever. Amy pulls off the side of the road. Wrestles with a map and the phone. AMY Sign? I was looking for a sign? There's no... Her attention is caught by something off camera. She stares out into the night.. HER POV - A small iced over pond - and in the middle - moving about is Virgil, ICE SKATING - hockey stick in hand - moving about the rink with an imaginary puck. AMY (O.S.) (distracted) Yes... I took the first ..... no, no, I'm listening... Virgil winds up and takes a slap at the ice with his stick - throws his hands up in the air like he just scored. Amy smiles, peers off down the road. A sign: BEAR MTN. SPA AND RESORT 1.4 miles. AMY Wait, I got it - yeah. No don't call me.. right, unless you hear from Atlanta. And fax me the designs - I want to tinker with them a bit more ... I'm going to rest - bye - I'll see you in a week. Beep as she hangs up. Looks back out to the pond. It's empty. Shrugs - about to pull out - that love song still blaring. AMY Oh p-lease, Whitney. CLICK - she shuts off the radio - and pulls back out onto the road. EXT. BEAR MTN. HEALTH SPA - NIGHT Amy pulling luggage out of her car. She takes a breath - clearly she's exhausted - and starts towards the entrance. INT. BEAR MTN. HEALTH SPA - RECEPTION DESK - NIGHT Amy at the front desk with the Night Manager CAROLINE, 30'S, annoyingly fit. CAROLINE We have a full weight room, lifecycles, stairmasters, a spa, yoga, aerobics, spin classes... AMY I'm really just looking for a quick fix, here. Do you have anything that just involves lying down? CAROLINE A massage. AMY Great. I'll have one a day.
