INT.FUNICULAR-DAY
At one end of the balcony outside the observatory is the
funicular car down the hill to the parking lot. It has large
windows with a great view of New York. Some of the kids wave
to Lily as the funicular departs.
As the balcony moves out of view, Lily takes a seat on the
bench. She leans on her cane and checks her phone, a smile.
The sky outside is clear of clouds. The hill around the
observatory has sparse patches of trees.
When the parking lot comes into view below, Lily gets up and
rushes to look out the window. Someone waits below for the
funicular, waving at it as it descends.
NATE (28M) a Cantonese-American man with tousled black hair.
He wears sporty clothes and holds two backpacks next to him.
EXT.FUNICULAR PARKING LOT-DAY
The funicular arrives and the doors open. Lily pulls Nate
into a hug as she exits. She glances to the packs.
LILY
Everything’s ready? Have we got-
NATE
Yes, bandages. Yes, sprays. Yes,
even the flora guide. I know how
you are Lily, we’re on a timer.
Nate taps his watch to show Lily the time.
She smiles and lifts the smaller pack onto her back.
LILY
Look at you, I’ll make a real hiker
out of you yet.
Nate chuckles. He takes her arm in his and leads her to the
trail.
EXT. OBSERVATORY HILL-DAY
Lily scales the hill with the help of a cane and wears sporty
clothes with a small backpack and hat.
NATE
How much longer have we got?
LILY
Less than a mile, we’re good on
time.
