MED. SHOT - MELANIE DANIELS
in the crowd of pedestrians, approaching Davidson's Pet Shop.
She is a young woman in her mid-twenties, sleekly groomed,
exquisitely dressed, though hatless. She walks with the quick
sureness of the city dweller, a purposefulness in her stride,
a mischievous grin on her face. She continues toward the
front door of a pet shop and enters.
INT. BIRD SHOP - MED. SHOT
Melanie opens the door and comes through, still looking back
toward the street and skywards. The proprietor, a MRS.
MacGRUDER, comes toward her.
MELANIE:
Hello, Mrs. MacGruder, have you ever
seen so many gulls?
MRS. MACGRUDER
Hello, Miss Daniels.
MELANIE:
What do you suppose it is?
MED. SHOT
Mrs. MacGruder takes a look out at the sky. A puppy is
BARKING, o.s.
MRS. MACGRUDER
(shaking her head)
There must be a storm at sea. That
can drive them inland, you know.
