Scene opens with couple cuddled on sofa and audio of a romantic film.
Music begins to play- Represent by The Kitchen Club.
A montage of events plays on the screen- Matthew making breakfast, getting ready for work, etc.
Cut to Matthew on a park bench.
Matthew: (as though in mid-flow) ...yeah, yeah, I'll cook dinner tonight. (pause). Alright. See you later, Rach. Yeah... I love you too.
Shot of Matthew walking away towards a park. Next we see him making tea and discovering he is out of cigarettes.
Matthew: I'm just popping to the shop. Do you want anything?
Rachel: Erm... I think we're out of milk if you wanna be helpful.
Matthew: Right.
Rachel: Cheers.
Matthew walks outside and the shot fades to black.
The blackness lifts and all we hear is Matthew's heavy breathing as he sees Rachel's nody. He runs out of the room- we see him pick up the bloody knife in the hallway and drop it with a clatter.
This version of the script cuts out the voiceovers and the scene with the police interview. This is because we could not think of a suitable location for filming this scene to make it look realistic. We have also included less dialogue and focused more on the movements of Matthew- we wanted to establish normality and focus on his daily routine before seeing him wrenched out of it by the violent murder of his girlfriend. We felt that hearing the characters talk very little would add the to the mystery of the ending of the scene.
