Seashell - One Page Blackout

INT. BEDROOM - DAY

Two girls LILY and AMY sit cross legged on a bright pink rug giggling in their pajamas.

LILY

Check this out!

Lily runs over to the corner of her room to grab a large seashell.

LILY

My dad got this for me last summer.

Lily puts the shell up to Amy’s ear.

LILY

If you listen carefully-

AMY

Let me guess? You can hear the ocean?

LILY

You can hear the Pacific Ocean.

AMY

Uh huh.

LILY

Right off the shores, close to the Marianas Trench... there are sharks. Coordinates 11.3493 N, 142.1996 E.

Amy raises an eyebrow.

AMY

No way, you’re crazy!

Amy takes the shell and presses it up to Lily’s ear and laughs.

AMY

It’s clearly dolphins... you doof! Sharks? Please.

Lily concentrates on the sound. Her eyes widen.

LILY

Shit, you’re right.
