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.

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.
