Fade in:

1. INT. CITY CENTRE - DAY

ISOBEL is shown rushing confidently through the city center in a fast pace, on her way to meet JAMES for their first date. Her hair is long and wispy in the breeze. She has red lipstick on. She is holding shopping bags and is wearing a formal, colourful outfit with a lop sided scarf around her neck.

ISOBEL walks passed a shop window, then reverses backwards, stops to admire something, then continues walking.

It then cuts to JAMES walking at a slower pace, talking on the phone to his dad. He is smartly dressed in a plain suit, including a tie, and clutching a coffee. He is neatly groomed with short hair.

JAMES walks passed the same shop, but carries on, although he does look and scrunch up his face.

Both are then shown in alternate clips, before there is a split screen of them both walking.

JAMES (sighing) I really don't want to meet her (beat) Yeah, I'm on my way now (beat) She better be worth it

ISOBEL then bumps trips over her scarf and then falls into JAMES' arms, spilling coffee down him. JAMES is angry and ISOBEL is shocked.There is a moment of awkward eye contact where the attraction between the characters is shown.

JAMES (annoyed) What the fuck?

Then they pull away and both continue walking in opposite directions.

ISOBEL (jokingly) You split something down your shirt

ISOBEL then hurries off, as JAMES is left watching her leave with a confused expression on his face. He shakes his head and stands still for a bit, before continuing walking as well.

Both characters are then shown sitting at opposite ends on a bench. It is clear that they have both been sitting there for a while. ISOBEL has her legs crossed and JAMES taps his feet, waiting. They each check the time on their phones, before JAMES calls ISOBEL.

As the phone rings, they both awkwardly look at each other.
