INT. BEDROOM
ELEANOR is lying on her bed, texting on her phone. Camera cuts to show establishing shots of computer monitor, DVD shelf etc. A muffled voice is heard and she looks around confused. Her computer monitor switches on with a fuzzy picture. She stares at the screen as VINTON's face finally comes into view.
vinton
There you are. On your phone
Holds his up
VINTON
Got mine still...got my phone...you can always contact...
She is visibly disturbed by the sight of VINTON.
VINTON
Look, all that aside, I really think we got off on the wrong foot.
Eleanor stares in silence
VINTON
Oh! Yeah, you thought I was...gone...yeeeah no. Not that easy, I'm afraid. We should just...I don't know, meet up and just talk things through.
ELEANOR leaves.
INT. SCREEN ROOM
Focus on VINTON's eyes through his glasses as he watches in delight. Cut to a shot of behind him as we see a desk with multiple monitors watching live security cameras.
EXT. STREET
ELEANOR walks down street at a reasonably fast rate. She is clearly disturbed. She receives a message on her phone from VINTON: "You've forgotten, haven't you :/".
INT. SCREEN ROOM
VINTON watches ELEANOR go into the building, switching camera to the interior. He smirks and leans into a microphone.
INT. CORRIDOR 1
ELEANOR walks down a hallway, still worried. She takes a moment however this is interrupted by VINTON's voice over the intercom, cutting between her listening and him speaking.
VINTON
It's exhilarating, isn't it. Well, it would be anyway. If it was anyone else but it's you. We know how this goes. You'll act all...defensive but I know you too well. You'll come back. You always do.
After he stops she moves on.
INT. SCREEN ROOM
VINTON starts to appear confused and distressed. He takes his glasses off and gets up. As he prepares to leave, he quietly sings 'Elenore' by The Turtles.
INT. CORRIDOR 2
ELEANOR runs up stairs and enters another empty corridor. She sighs having not heard from VINTON however the lights go out, plunging her into darkness. As the lights flicker back on, VINTON is standing down the hallway. She stares at him.
VINTON
Do you see what comes from all of this running around? It must be exhausting.
He takes a big sigh and takes his phone out.
VINTON
Now...
He checks his phone however he has no signal. He glances between ELEANOR and his phone.
VINTON
Hang on...bear with...
He checks his phone again. No signal. ELEANOR checks her phone and sees full signal. ELEANOR looks VINTON down and her expression shifts from concern to content. VINTON's expression shifts from confident to concerned.
VINTON
What?
ELEANOR waves her phone in a taunting fashion, places it on the floor and pushes it slightly towards VINTON.
VINTON
What are you doing?
She walks towards stairs.
VINTON
Come back here, Eleanor...
She leaves. He panics
VINTON
(Yelling)
Now, Eleanor!
His voice echoes. He's alone. He stares at ELEANOR's phone. He runs to it and desperately picks it up. No signal.
