"Sunrise, Sunset."
An Antony Wells (Game)Play
EXT - New York, New York. Down 5th Avenue. - The Year is 2025
A man, Jake Robins, and his friend Bishop Matthews are walking down, what is then
an electric street. Of vibrant Neon, and floating Advertising. Projections as big as buildings,
and just as real to the touch.
JAKE
I dreamed of a perfect world the other night.
He reaches out towards the sky, almost hopelessly. Pulls his hands back, and puts them in his pockets.
BISHOP
What do you call this?
A quiet melody begins to play. The color of the scene begins to change with each beat.
JAKE
This? I do not know. I do not care. I am meant for more.
Again he reaches out, but quicker, and more dispondent.
BISHOP
The tao of life is strange for all. Not just the lucky, not just the unfortunate.
The music begins to build. The screen shifts with each beat.
JAKE
We live in this tired vaccume. It must be a billion years of struggle. At every level. From the atom to the gods.
BISHOP
Find your own path Luke.
JAKE
What use is a path, when all roads lead to nowhere?
BISHOP
Then fucking build it. If they will not. Make it, if they can not. Dream it, if they dare not.
The music suddenly stops. The screen is now normal.
They stop walking.
JAKE
And you'll be there?
BISHOP
The Sciences are my wings.
JAKE
Then, let us fly.
They continue to walk. The camera remains where it is.
Three Beats.
JAKE(O.S)
It will not be easy.
BISHOP(O.S)
We'll find a way. It is ours to be.
INT - THEIR LAB - MOMENTS LATER
The florescent lights flood the room as they enter.
JAKE
I chase a dream, as do you. Do you think the Institute will be so kind?
BISHOP
They will see the wisdom in our method. Only a person without sense, would not.
