INT. APARTMENT-DAY
A distinctively sexy young woman, SARAH, stands in the middle
of her messy living room in a black satin nightgown and
sharply stares at the poop on the red antique rug.
SARAH
‫ اﻳﻪ اﻟﻘﺮف ده ﻧﺎﻗﺼﺔ ﻫﻰ ﺧﺮا ﻋﺎﻟﺼﺒﺢ‬,‫ﻣﺎﻳﻠﻮووو‬,
MILOO come here
MILO, Sarah's pug dog, runs towards her and rubs itself
against her legs softly. Sarah grabs Milo's head and pushes
it closer to the poop.

SARAH (CONT'D)
‫ اﺑﻌﺪ ﻋﻨﻰ ﻳﺎ ﻣﺎﻳﻠﻮ‬,‫ ﺷﻢ اﻟﻘﺮف ﺑﺘﺎﻋﻚ‬,‫ﺷﻢ‬
Bad boy, I'm not gonna play with
you for the rest of the day ‫ﻋﻠﻰ ﻓﻜﺮة‬
Sarah nervously grabs her cigarettes pack & the lighter on
the table, lights up a cigarette and aggressively throws them
on the couch. Sarah ignorantly leaves the poop on the floor
grabs her phone and scrolls through her contacts list as she
moves to the kitchen.
Sarah dials NADA's number, puts the phone on speaker and
places the phone on the counter. The phone rings as Sarah
washes a dirty glass and opens the fridge, takes out a bottle
of Omar El Khayam red wine and pours herself a glass.
Nada answers the phone.
NADA
‫أﻟﻮ‬
SARAH
Hi babe, I miss you so fucking much
‫ﻋﺎﻣﻠﺔ اﻳﻪ؟‬
NADA
I miss you more ‫ﻳﺎ ﻛﻠﺒﺔ‬
‫ﺑﺲ أﻧﺎ ﺑﺴﻤﻊ ﺻﻮﺗﻚ ﻓﻰ اﻟﻤﻨﺎﺳﺒﺎت ﺑﺲ‬
Sarah takes her glass as she talks on the phone, goes to the
living room to take her cigarettes pack and the lighter and
goes to the balcony. She sits & raises both her legs up on
the fence as she lights up a cigarette.

INT. APARTMENT-DAY
An average looking, well groomed man, ZAIN, stands in his
kitchen with a JBL in his hands, he turns it on & places it
on the counter. He grabs his phone, plays "Por Una Cabeza",
raises the volume up to the max, and leaves the phone on the
counter.
Zain opens the cupboard and takes out a cooking pot. He puts
cooking oil in the pot, takes a popcorn bag from the shelf,
puts some in the pot. He lights up the stove and leaves the
pot on it.
Zain freely sways with the music with Salsa dance moves as
the popcorn pops.
ZAIN
Por Una Cabeza todas las locuras so
buca que besa, borra la tristeza,
calma la amargura

INT. APARTMENT-DAY
Sarah lays on her messed up white bed sheets, puts the
ashtray on the bed and lights up a cigarette as she sips from
her wine glass. Sarah sharply gazes at her reflection in the
mirror as she stressfully shakes her leg. Sarah has a face
one can't forget, a sharp jawline, perfectly carved lips &
red freckles scattered all over her face. Sarah's room unlike
the rest of the apartment has a minimalist modern style with
lots of green plants.
Sarah grabs her phone and calls ALI, Ali immediately answers.
ALI
Hey Susu
SARAH
Hey hey
