the refrigerator, slumped in a manner to suggest that he
was executed in this place.
PATCHES OF BLOOD: ON THE WALL BEHIND HIM.

hands. Bif looks up from his gardening to see his wife’s
naked feet start to run away.

THIS DAY, with Lisa's feet dashing through tall grass
along rows of flowers into a thicket of vines.
LISA: NOW SEEN IN FULL FIGURE in the glow of
morning light as she runs through the tended rows with
Bif chasing.
Darting behind a tree, she hesitates, looks back.

POINT OF VIEW: Bif is nowhere to be seen.
SUDDENLY, she feels the grip on her ankle - and she
allows herself to fall and rolls onto her back, laughing and
giggling like a kid.
