Panel One
Interior,
dimly lit coffee house situated in a much larger complex like a mall.
The motif appears to be something out of a 40s noir. A woman in a red
dress and red hat sips on a coffee. She is seated on a couch with a
man in a three piece suit. The man nervously darts his eyes around as
he talks.
1.
MAN: You ain't gonna believe me. This is just too… It couldn't be.
Panel
Two
The
woman in red lights holds a cigarette out, which the man dutifully
lights.
2.
WOMAN: What do you mean, honey?
Panel
Three
A
detailed view of the coffee house as the man sees it. The dimly lit
coffee-house is even darker, with shadows falling across everything
in a noir style. The only other two people in the coffee-house are
another woman, in a dark blue dress-suit, seated at a small table
with a cup and a male barrista dressed like a classic bartender with
a vest and white collared shirt.
3.
MAN: Last night we were in our Prius on our way to a comic
convention. But now...deep shadows, 1940s clothing, your sultry tone,
and smoking.
4.
MAN: Neither of us smoke. I don't even know why I have a lighter!
5.
MAN: It's like we've wandered into a noir film. Except we're drinking
coffee instead of whiskey.
Panel
Four
The
woman blows a curl of smoke as she rolls her eyes.
6.
WOMAN: Don't be ridiculous. You can't drink whiskey at 10 in the
morning.
7.
WOMAN: Besides, don't noir films require a criminal element?
Panel
Five
The man and woman look over at the counter with startled surprise.
8. SFX (OP): SMACK!
Panel
Six
A
small man in a three-piece suit yells at the barrista angrily, his
fist still on the counter between them.
Behind him stands a taller, more muscular man with a scar across his
face. The barrista leans away in fear.
9.
ANGRY-MAN: You
think you can get out of it that easy?!
