A LOVER’S
PICNIC
By

EXT. THE GARDENS – DAY
James, a wealthy, seemingly ageless man, and Mary, a young and
beautiful woman, are frolicking in the Gardens of James’ stately home. They
appear to be madly in love and content with each other as they laugh and joke
around.
EXT. JAMES’ MANSION – DAY TURNS DUSK
James and Mary are sat at a table outside of his stately home.
They are smiling and look happy, but as the camera swoops around them, the tone
changes and Mary is gone. James appears to look sad. It seems as though James
is reminiscing about the time’s he has had with Mary.
EXT. THE GARDENS – DAY
James and Mary are together again in the gardens and the montage
continues as they laugh and kiss. James pulls a necklace from his pocket and
puts it around her neck. She smiles, happily.
EXT. JAME’S MANSION – DUSK
James is alone at the table again, and he rings the bell to call
for his staff. There is also a long shot of James’ land and we see the beauties
of nature that flourish there.
EXT. THE BEACH – SUNSET
James and Mary are walking hand in hand down the beach and into
the sunset. Mary kisses James and he holds her face, lovingly.
EXT. JAMES’ MANSION – DUSK
James kitchen staff brings out a shiny silver platter and places
it in front of him. The lid is removed and the beautiful meat is revealed. We
see the necklace draped over the meat.
EXT. THE BEACH – SUNSET
Mary is smiling as the necklace glistens around her neck.
EXT. JAMES’ MANSION
James smiles sadistically and seasons his meal with a mysterious
red liquid.
EXT. THE BEACH – SUNSET
Mary is smiling again, from a different angle, as we get a close
up of the necklace.
EXT. JAMES’ MANSION – DUSK
Close up of the necklace as James finishes his meal. He puts the
necklace in his pocket and rings the bell to pay his kitchen staff.
FADE OUT
EXT. THE GARDENS – DAY
James is with another girl, Belle another beautiful woman, and
she kisses him. James gets the necklace out of his pocket and puts it around
Belle’s neck. The last shot we see is of James, smiling.
