SCREENPLAY ''MARKED TO DIE'' - DIANNA DIVERNO - THE SECOND ANTHOLOGY

SCENE 1:
(Brittany Delmonde is on the beach looking around. Her voice is heard)

BRITTANY:
Death is a natural process of life. By giving birth, all people receive the solemn privilege of one day being dead
(She looks down the blue sea and then open sea)
My name is Brittany. I've been on vacation with my mom and sister for two weeks now. Beautiful beach, sea, waves, truly heavenly vacation.
(she walks towards the hotel, waves to the waiters)
I grew up and live in Chicago. I graduated and I have a fiancé in Seattle. Him name is Karen. I would like to marry him and have 3-4 children. We never agreed on that. I don't think he really likes children. My sister's name is Tanita. She is in the true style of Jamaica. She has been wearing an afro hairstyle and braids since she was 10 years old. My father's name is Gilbert Delmonde. I haven't heard a word from him in years. He used to write, but the letters have not arrived at all for years. Mom says he’s a commercial traveler, but I’m not sure about that. I'm not even sure he's alive at all. My sister has a big picture of him in her room.

(There should be a scene - memories. Tanita is in her room and shows a picture of Gilbert Delmonde to Brittany and her mother. Tanita laughs)

TANITA:
That's my president!
(The scene returns to Jamaica again. Brittany enters the hotel where they are staying.)

BRITTANY:
My mom's name is Sussan. She is quite upset because of my younger sister, who barely knew her father. But she is absolutely obsessed with him. Because of her, we came on vacation to Jamaica. Mom thinks that obsession is something that keeps my sister trapped. That is why we are here! That my younger sister struggles with the barricades because we will probably never see our dad again. And he certainly doesn't want to hear more about us!
(she enters the hotel room, the sound of her cell phone on the dresser is heard. There is no one in the room. Brittany picks up her cell phone)

BRITTANY:
Hello!

KAREN:
Brit!

BRITTANY:
Oh, honey, how glad I am to hear you!

KAREN:
How are you today?
(As Karen talks to her in the car and at the intersection, the sound of an engine is heard)

BRITTANY:
Wonderful.
