Practically Strangers: Script- First Draft

EXT. Chiswick Graveyard. Day

Girl 1 sitting near a grave (of her boyfriend). She seems engaged in a conversation

Girl 1
Let me tell you about my day...

*Flash*- Flashback begins (Post Production)

INT. Near (inside) a flat in Brentford. Day

Girl 1 walks out of the flat with a bunch of roses in her hand, she walks along the road, looking a little in deep thought 

Girl 1
(Non- diegetic Voiceover- in her mind)
It's not easy you know, but you learn to get by. I really miss you at times, just can't help it I guess. sometimes it feels as though your still here with me, right by my side. I know you love roses so I've bought them special for you

EXT. Musical Museum Bus Stop. Day

Girl 1 sees Girl 2 sitting at the bus stop. She hears the girl talking to herself and finds her strange and feels uncomfortable
Girl 1
(Voice over turns into Diegetic Dialogue)
......

Girl 2
(Voiceover- in her mind)
Why is this girl talking to me? Someone just shut her up!

Girl 1 and Girl 2 get onto the E3 bus.

EXT. Outside/Near Chiswick grave. Day

Girl 1 and Girl 2 get of the E3 bus. Both walk in opposite directions, without a word or looking at teach other.

EXT. Chiswick Graveyard. Day

Girl 1 walks towards a grave and kneels down, she places the roses on the grave.

*Flash* Flashback Over (Post Production)
Girl 1
So that's what happened

EXT. Chiswick Graveyard- Day

Girl 2 Enters. to the same grave as Girl 1. She is shocked to see Girl 1 sitting there. Girl 2 places a card near the same grave, however at this point Girl 1 does not see it as she is focused/deep in thoughts. Girl 2 slowly walks away not being noticed. Few moments later she sees the card and suddenly turns around and sees Girl 2 walking away. Girl 1 opens the card to see that the name on the card is the same as the grave. She puts the card down next to the roses.
