[[A couple embraces dramatically on rocky cliffs by the sea. MELODIA and BUMGRAFFLE cling to each other.]]

BUMGRAFFLE: I’ve got you.
MELODIA: I’VE got YOU.

BUMGRAFFLE: You’re here now. You can’t go anywhere.
MELODIA: Why would I GO anywhere? THIS is where I want to be!

[[The embrace continues, longingly, romantically.]]

MELODIA: I don’t want a SINGLE SECOND of my life to go by without having you here.

[[She kisses his neck.]] (SFX: SMOOCH)

[[Bumgraffle pulls back with an accusatory expression.]]

BUMGRAFFLE: OH, so you hope I OUTLIVE you? You’re planning to LEAVE me all ALONE?
BUMGRAFFLE: NICE! REAL nice!
MELODIA: Isn’t this CUTE? We’ve been together two weeks and we’re already fighting over which one of us gets to be the murder and which one the suicide.
