EXT. AFRICAN SAVANNAH - MORNING We see a shimmering bright, orange sun on the horizon, encompassing the screen, as the light basks the surrounding grassland in an apricot glow. DR. ANNE LEMON (O.S.) A beautiful thing, isn't it Goody? We cut to a young man(27) in a fold-out chair, with sandy blonde hair peering through a long lens camera towards the glowing field below. GOODY It's incredible. I've only seen it in pictures before. Doesn't do it justice. Covered by a short-brimmed sun hat with strap, the older doctor seated next to him glances over. DR. ANNE LEMON You've been in the field before, I thought? GOODY (quickly) No, I have. I have. It was more of a local thing though. Thru my school. Nothing to— Dr. Lemon silences him with a sharp wave. DR. ANNE LEMON Hold that thought. She motions towards the plains below them. From atop their vantage point, we close in on the reason for their position. DR. ANNE LEMON (CONT'D) We have canines on the move. Through the dense thicket, a small pack of African Painted Dogs enters the small clearing. The veteran hunters lead the pack while the younger section of the troupe prances behind playfully. They all enjoy some relaxation around the entrance to their den. Quickly taking his gaze away from his long lens, Goody excitedly pulls out his notes for observation. 

2. DR. ANNE LEMON (CONT'D) Take a look, Goody. Do you see that pup on the right hand side of the pack. Goody peers through his telescope to focus on the younger group nipping and playing with each other. A completely dark adolescent comes within view, a sharp contrast to its painted playmates. Goody is entranced, he's never seen this before. GOODY Wow. That's quite the abnormality in pigmentation. DR. ANNE LEMON Exactly. That pup has 'Bofa'. (beat) Goody pulls back from his observation, not sure what he just heard. GOODY I'm sorry, Dr. Lemon. I don't think I heard you properly. Peering through her telescope, Dr. Lemon is unphased. DR. ANNE LEMON I hypothesized that the puppy has 'Bofa'. Confusion. Something isn't right. GOODY (V.O.) She isn't.. is she? He glances over at Dr. Lemon with heavy speculation. He finds her looking right back at him. GOODY (V.O.) (CONT'D) Why is she just staring at me?! She cuts through his thoughts. DR. ANNE LEMON Is everything alright? He snaps back to reality, not wanting to seem strange. GOODY (nervously) Ah yes yes, of course. Good observation, Doctor. 

3. DR. ANNE LEMON Hmm.. yes. Could you pull out my notes and let me know the details again? It's under the "Field" tab. Goody pulls out her field research from the tote bag and flips to the section referenced. Under "Aesthetic Abnormalities" are a list of diseases with their names in Latin. Tensely, he flips to the next and previous page to look for 'Bofa'. He can't find it. GOODY (gulps) Um.. which one did you want to know more about, Dr. Lemon? DR. ANNE LEMON Bofa. Just read off what I wrote. Goody starts to sweat. GOODY It doesn't seem to be here. DR. ANNE LEMON It's definitely there, I recorded. Just read it, Goody. His eyes dart between the book and Dr. Lemon who is looking at him now. DR. ANNE LEMON (CONT'D) What are the notes? GOODY I uh.. guh DR. ANNE LEMON Goody? GOODY I.. I don't know. DR. ANNE LEMON You don't know what? He wipes his face in exasperation. There's no avoiding it. GOODY Which.. (sigh) Which one is 'Bofa'? 

4. (beat) Dr. Lemon looks at him blankly. DR. ANNE LEMON Bofa.. Is under (insert Latin name) Sorry I should've explained better. That's not what he was expecting to hear. Goody chuckles and relaxes. DR. ANNE LEMON (CONT'D) Yes, Bofa. Typically stems from an alpha female with 'Updog' GOODY What's Updog? DR. ANNE LEMON Not much dog, what's up with you? GOODY I KNEW IT! She laughs as he flips out.
