FADE IN:

EXT. PARK- SUNRISE

Open with full shot of park setting. Scattered couples in background leisurely walking or sitting. Butterfly's flying over a thorn bush. One COUPLE walks in foreground and continues down a path.

TRUCK IN:
on Couple as they walk towards a bench. A Morning Glory flower with-in a thorn bush comes into middle of frame, as Couple sits down.

  1. The script is great Jill. The only thing we may change is that we're probably not going to have then unfurl out of a cocoon. I can't even fathom making a rig for something like that lol.
