This is a storyboard I created based on the "Before Sunrise" script. I tried to retell the scenes of separation on the train from the female character's perspective.

Page 37/60 JESSE I don’t know. All I know is I’m getting on this Austria Airlines flight at nine-thirty tomorrow morning and I can’t really afford a hotel and we’ll probably just wander around all night. If I turn out to be a psycho, you can bail out anytime and get back on the next train, right?
Page 39/60 JESSE (CONT’D) Think of it like this. Jump ahead ten, twenty years. Your marriage just doesn’t have that same energy anymore. You start to blame your husband. You think of all the guys you’ve met and all the ones you never pursued and how things might have been different if you’d just picked up with one of them. Well, I’m one of them. You can consider this traveling back in time, to see what you are missing. See, this is really a big favor to both you and your future husband - it’s a chance to see how you really haven’t missed anything. That I’m just as boring and unmotivated as he is, hopefully more.
