Noirvember - Getaway

1 - Establishing shot of a cottage by a lake. It's winter time and a light snow is falling. Oscar and Jules are unpacking the car. Jules walks towards the cottage with some bags / boxes, while Oscar closes the trunk, some bags at his feet.

OSCAR: That should be everything.

2 - Closer in on Oscar as he picks up the bags. A look of concern spreads across his face at Jules' words from off-panel.

OSCAR: Hope you're ready for an extremely romantic weekend.

JULES: That's weird.

3 - From inside the cottage, looking at the entrance door, which is slightly ajar. Maybe some snow has gotten in. The important thing is that the cottage interior is dark and foreboding, and the outside world is bright. Jules stands closer, confused and concerned, but Oscar is also visible through the gap.

JULES: Did you leave the door open?

4 - The two have entered into the cottage. Jules remains near the door, looking away from the reader. Oscar has come in a bit more, looking at something off-panel in alarm.

OSCAR: Jules.

5 - Pull back slightly. In the foreground, the living room is a bit messy, clear evidence of someone else being there. What's worse, there's a pistol sitting on the coffee table. Oscar holds a similar position as the previous panel, Jules looks over, similar alarm on her face. They are next to a wall that ends at the entrance to the living room - a man stands against it, looking towards the living room and wondering what he's going to do, especially without that gun.

OSCAR: Get back in the car.
