FADE IN:
INT. COURTROOM LOBBY - DAY
PETER in suit talks to another GENTLEMAN (50s) in suit.
PETER
Why didn't you work longer as
a magistrate?
GENTLEMAN
(Shaking his head)
No...lots of note taking...
INT. COURTROOM - DAY
A casually dressed MAN (60s) stands conspicuously at the centre. A MAGISTRATE (30s) sitting at a raised bench delivers a verdict. Peter sits at the bar, jotting notes.
The man begins to look unhappy. The magistrate finishes. Peter is still jotting.
MAGISTRATE
(Raising the tone)
Yes!...
Peter rises abruptly. He adduces a document via an USHER (40s). The usher then passes it to a CLERK (40s) who passes it to the magistrate.
PETER
The defendant has one conviction
record...
The magistrate examines the document.
MAGISTRATE
(To the man)
You acknowledge that?
MAN
Can't recall...What was it all about?
Both the Magistrate and Peter look frustrated.
DREAM SEQUENCE
A dreamy sci-fi environment. Pop-up communication gears of the future. Peter, the magistrate and the man wear futuristic, shiny outfits with accessories.
We hear a VOICE from the middle of nowhere.
VOICE(O.S.)
It was about your careless
driving...
We see colourful 3-D moving images as if we are in the midst of the scene. Two futuristic vehicles collide. We hear: "Bang!"
VOICE(O.S.)
You've a copy of the file
too...
END DREAM SEQUENCE
INT. OFFICE - DAY
Sitting at a wooden desk covered with files and papers, Peter puts pen to paper. A CLERK (50s) comes in.
CLERK
Are you finishing the case-
result reports?
Watching the wall clock, Peter writes frantically.
PETER
Yes...in five minutes...
DREAM SEQUENCE
Another dreamy sci-fi surrounding. Believable gadgets of the future. Peter relaxes on a transparent sofa hanging in the air.
As he makes a clicking sound with his fingers, a sci-fi transparent ROBOT immediately appears from the middle of nowhere.
ROBOT
Yes, Master. What can I do
for you?
PETER
Send the cyber file you've
prepared for me to anyone
who need to know.
ROBOT
Yes, Master! Your wish is
my command!
Immediately, we hear "Swoosh".
ROBOT (Cont'd)
Sent-received...
END DREAM SEQUENCE
The wall clock is ticking. Peter uses a corrector tape to cover some ink on a handwritten note.
A beat.
Peter takes thick files and other papers out of the office to another one.
INT - OFFICE CORRIDOR - DAY
Peter bids goodbye to GIRLS sitting inside an office. We hear:
"Bye! Don't forget to bring your belongings with you!"
DREAM SEQUENCE
From the middle of nowhere, we hear: "Master, I've already had safe custody of all of your belongings, including deleted data. "
END DREAM SEQUENCE
Peter checks the files and papers in his bag again.
EXT - TRAIN CAR - DAY
In the middle of a packed car stands a tired Peter.
FADE OUT. The End
