EXT.DESSERT.EXTREME WIDE SHOT.SUNRISE
Slow zoom in and pan to btm left as the sun quickly rises over the silhouette of a small shanty town. We can hear slightly dramatic orchestral music consisting of a double repeated note. This is the first set of double notes.
EXT.DESSERT.WIDE SHOT.DAY
The Brightness of day reveals the homes are made of large bags full of things. MR.GIGLIDIGS who is naked, on his doorstep appears disinterested and un-energetic, as he closes his front door,we hear (CREAK, SLAM) then walks towards the left of his bag. Grabbing a handful of the bags canvas like material, he begins, with effort, to drag his bag home to the left.We hear (SLIGHT RUSTLING NOISES AND SUBTLE OBJECTS RATTLING). After walking a few steps, another smaller bag appears from the right being dragged in the same manner, although with slightly less effort and greater speed, buy MR.POOR, who is also naked. We can hear a second lower set of notes added to the music. Close up MR.GIGLIDIGS as he stops walking and looks back over his shoulder towards MR.POOR. Close up MR.POOR who looks at him and lowers his gaze.
Wide Shot as he passes MR.GIGLIDIGS and walks out of shot to the left.The second set of double notes stops.
EXT.DESSERT.MEDIUM SHOT.DAY
At this moment MR.RICH, also naked, dragging a much larger bag appears from behind MR.GIGLIDIGS bag home and also begins to
pass. Even though MR.RICH's bag is so large, he has 10 workers who themselves have no bags, we hear (HUT, HUT, HUT, HUT) as they help him and this makes it very easy to move his bag at speed. We hear a continuing much deeper more dramatic note
along with the first set of double notes. MR.RICH comes to a halt along with his workers, who looks at MR.GIGLIDIGS who is looking at him. The workers stop their mantra, then look at MR.GIGLIDIGS as well. He lowers his gaze to the ground. The first set of double notes stops. MR.RICH
and his workers begin to walk again.(HUT, HUT, HUT, HUT). Zoom back to Wide Shot and see on top there is a sports car and a yacht. This is a jacuzzi as well as a couple of bikini clad girls also with no bags, drinking margaritas under an umbrella enjoy themselves. The large bag reminds us of a short, stocky centipede. They continue to walk out of scene to the left. The long dramatic note fades out, as does the workers mantra.The first set of double notes start again.

EXT.DESSERT.WIDE SHOT.DAY
He notices something behind him and looks back over his shoulder again. We hear light happy receding notes. He sees a girl skip into scene from the right, her movements bouncy and light as a feather. She is not carrying any baggage at all. He watches for a moment, his eyes widen in amazement at how free she is. She stops and leans over to smell his flowers on the doorstep. Her eyes are closed as she takes in the scent. She opens her eyes and their gaze meets.The music is replaced by 3 lower increasing romantic notes. The camera zooms in to a medium shot as she skips over and stands in front of him. Light happy receding notes. She reaches out a hand to him. He stands straighter, smiling
and he takes her hand. 3 lower increasing romantic notes. She begins to leave but he hesitates. He gestures towards his
things. She shakes her head. He gestures ‘1 thing’. She nodsher head and sighs. Demished notes indicating tension. He ducks out of scene to the right, towards his front door. He returns in an instant and he is fully loaded with a backpack, cameras, and he has paint brushes in his hand. Sheb looks wide eyed at him and She sighs, not smiling, and takes his hand. Annoyed, turns and they sluggishly start walk to the
left. He reaches back as they start to leave and snatches the letter box. A couple of letters fly around (CLUNK,RUSTLE). It
seems to go unnoticed. They walk out of scene together to the sound of 3 lower increasing romantic notes.After a moments pause we hear a dramatic (THUMP). He comes flying back into the scene, Landing on the ground. Rolling over Crashing into his bag home (CRASH,CRASH,THUMP) He slumps against the bag, frazzled. A moment later the crumpled letter box flies into seen as well. It lands near him and letters fly everywhere.WE hear (BOUNCE,BOUNCE,RUSTLE).The music reverts to the first double note orchestral theme. Some of the letters fly towards us. On one of the letters is written, the end.
