I drank too much last night
THIS IMAGE IS AN ESTABLISHING SHOT. IN THE CENTRE IS A SUBURBAN POOL, ROYAL BLUE, SURROUNDED BY CUPIDS AND CLAW-FOOTED POTS. THESE WILL BE THE MAIN THEMES OF DESIRE AND FOLIAGE. WE TRACK THROUGH A SCREEN OF TREES: NED ENTERS LEFT, BAREFOOT, AND DIVES INTO CLEAR WATER; A HAND AND A GLASS OF GIN APPEARS (A SECONDARY THEME). IT’S THE USUAL SUNDAY AFTERNOON AFTER THE USUAL SATURDAY NIGHT. WHICH MEANS: EVERYBODY DRANK TOO MUCH BUT NOBODY HAS CHANGED.
