INT. RESTARAUNT - DAY

TITLE: Week 1

Isabel looks at the MENU with taunt focus with dark hair in a
ponytail.

A cold blue hue from the approaching storm tints the table,
in the middle of the capacity brunch crowd at a neighborhood
hot spot.

GUY watches her with warm, soft eyes.

Isabel looks at him hatefully.

GUY
(smiling it off)
What are you gonna have?

ISABEL
(annoyed)
I don't know.

The WAITRESS approaches, early 20's, cute, and perky.

WAITRESS
What can I get you guys?

ISABEL
(curtly)
I don't know.

GUY
I'll have a Bloody Mary and Eggs
Benedict.

Isabel looks at him in familiar disappointment.

GUY
I know what I like.

The Waitress gives a sympathetic glance at Guy, and turns
uneasily to Isabel.

WAITRESS
And for you?

ISABEL
I guess I'll have a cheddar and
tomato omelette, well done. Not
runny at all.

WAITRESS
Thank you.

The Waitress takes the menus, and walks away.

Isabel glares at Guy who smiles sadly and shakes his head.

GUY
What's the date today?

Isabel twitches, but chooses to ignore him.

FADE TO BLACK.

INT. RESTARAUNT - A DIFFERENT DAY

TITLE: Week 2

Isabel looks at the MENU, slouching and tired with bed-head.

An orange red hue warms the table, in the middle of the
capacity brunch crowd, and the staff moves around slowly.

Isabel ignores him for a moment.

GUY
(uninterested)
What are you gonna have?

ISABEL
(whining)
I don't know.

The WAITRESS approaches, early 20's, cute, and cold.

WAITRESS
What can I get you guys?

ISABEL
(defeated)
I don't know.

GUY
I'll have a Bloody Mary and Eggs
Benedict.

Isabel looks at him for help, which he shrugs off.

GUY
I know what I like.

The Waitress gives a dark glance at Guy, and turns
impatiently to Isabel.

WAITRESS
And for you?

ISABEL
I guess I'll have a bacon
cheeseburger, medium rare.

WAITRESS
Thank you.

The Waitress takes the menus, and walks away.

Isabel stares blankly at the table, and Guy is bored.

ISABEL
What's the date today?

Guy ignores her.

FADE TO BLACK.

INT. RESTARAUNT - ANOTHER DIFFERENT DAY

TITLE: Week 3

Isabel looks at the MENU, vibrant with smiling eyes, touching
her lips and playing with her hair.

An bright green hue lightens the table, in the middle of the
capacity brunch crowd, and the staff moves around crisply.

Isabel hangs on his words, eager to play.

GUY
What are you gonna have?

ISABEL
(playful)
I don't know.

The WAITRESS approaches, early 20's, cute, and tired.

WAITRESS
What can I get you guys?

ISABEL
I don't know.

GUY
I'll have a Bloody Mary and Eggs
Benedict.

Isabel looks at him in admiration, which he chooses to
misinterpret for condescending amusement.

GUY
I know what I like.

The Waitress gives a weary glance at Guy, and turns blankly
to Isabel.

WAITRESS
And for you?

ISABEL
I guess I'll try the papaya salmon.

WAITRESS
Thanks.

The Waitress takes the menus, and walks away.

Isabel looks longingly at Guy, who is bored.

FADE TO BLACK.

INT. RESTARAUNT - NEW DIFFERENT DAY

TITLE: Week 4

Isabel looks at the MENU, content and holding hands with Guy,
who can't take his eyes off her.

A warm yellow glow lightens the table, in the middle of the
capacity brunch crowd, and the staff moves around fluidly.

Isabel smiles appreciatively.

GUY
What are you gonna have?

I don't know.

conspiringly to Isabel.

WAITRESS
And for you?

ISABEL
(cute as a button)
I guess I'll have the same.

WAITRESS
Thanks.

Guy smiles and kisses her hand.

Then they hold hands and talk quietly to each other as the
restaurant moves around them.
