"LADIES' NIGHT"

FADE IN:

EXT. VERANDAH - NIGHT

A sign: World IP Day 2018. PETER and 1st LADY are exchanging name cards. Peter reads hers.

PETER

Just call me Peter.

1st LADY

Hi Peter. I'm so pleased

I can talk to you - at last!

I've been following your

talks for many years.

Peter is pleasantly surprised.

1st LADY

Whenever you talk, I

know I won't get bored.

You looked like a performer.

I recall you're musical...

People taking photos together behind the sign.

PETER

Speaking is not reading.

I want to engage and get

my messages across. I'd

even sing.

1st LADY

(gazing)

You're so different. So

different from other civil

servants. I must have a

photo with you before we

part.

INT. FUNCTION ROOM - NIGHT

A colourful backdrop. Peter and 1st Lady posed for the cameraman. We hear: "Another one."

Then 2nd LADY joins Peter for another photo. And then 3rd Lady. And then 4th LADY.

EXT. ROAD - NIGHT

In the direction of a housing estate. Peter walks alone. Thinking.

PETER

(V.0.)

The chat and photo sessions

bring back past scenes. I left

a good impression on others.

Now I know and can feel it.

INT. SITTING ROOM - NIGHT

Behind a computer, Peter writes a new post. We see on the screen the title: WORLD IP DAY. And then being deleted and substituted with: LADIES' NIGHT.

FADE OUT.

THE END
