INT. HALLWAY / MASONS HOUSE CAMERA SHOT IS IN HOUSE HALLWAY TITLE: 2 years ago You can hear a heated argument coming from one of the bedrooms. The house should be bright and the colorful paintings in the hallway should stand out, it should also be a bit messy with general mess through the hall and bedrooms. DIANNE Its not the point David, you keep talking and thats the god damn problem DAVID Dianne, you know how crazy you sound? DIANNE Crazy? You havent seen anything! Dianne grabs her lamp and throws it against the wall DIANNE Now Im crazy, go on tell your friends. Im the crazy bitch!!! DAVID You are crazy! Try telling me whats going on instead of just assuming the worst. I dont know you anymore and what you want or who you have become. Youre boring Dianne INT. BEDROOM PRESENT TIME: The house should be Grey and dim lit to reflect the current state of the Masons relationship. The camera pulls through this perfectly clean house with nothing out of place. The Masons are not home, but the sound of a tap leak echoes through the house. Dianne Mason returns home Dianne puts the groceries down on the bench and checks the messages. She takes off her jewelery and puts it on the bench and pours herself a glass of wine. She moves her wedding ring off her finger and notices that the ring line from lack of exposure to sun, has gone FLASHBACK: (CONTINUED)

DIANNE Take this god damn ring and throw it away, thats what this marriage is David, right? Right?! Dianne walks out the door and sits in the car, she looks at the ring line on her finger and notices how white and fresh it looks. PRESENT TIME: She sits in the lounge and starts watching television. She cant hear the leak in the house and her mind wanders away with her imagination. David comes home and dinner has been served, he sits down at the table DAVID So, how was your day? DIANNE Its good, it was good. Well youll never believe what Melly did this time DAVID What did she do now? DIANNE You know David, what type of women she is. Working with her has been hell... Her voice should drown out as Davids attention is lost and he drifts away. He is on auto-reply and answers only when he can. They have finished dinner and are doing the dishes. They dont speak to each other. INT. BEDROOM Dianne is rubbing lotion on her skin and grabs her laptop out. She checks her emails and sees their is a Spam mailer for a "Fast flirting" website. She ignores it and carries on reading through her other emails. Her curiosity gets the better of her and she re-reads the email about the fast flirting website. It goes on to explain that once you logged into the website it randomly finds you someone to talk to, but you only get 10 minutes to talk to them. David hops in bed and Dianne shuts the laptop down and goes to bed. They switch off the lamps and thats the end scene.

The next day has come and Dianne is watching her laptop, she opens it and checks her emails again, she opens up the original email from the flirting website. She stares at it and clicks a link to it. She signs up to it and hesitantly presses enter. The moment she presses the Enter button a screen appears and she is taken to a chat box which states that her next what buddy will be loaded up in ten seconds. The guy says Hi SCENE JUMPS TO DAVID AT HIS WORK OFFICE: David has just typed in "Hi" into the chat box SCENE JUMPS TO DIANNE IN HER BEDROOM Dianne stares at the screen and starts typing DIANNE (ON COMPUTER) Hello DAVID (ON COMPUTER) Hi DIANNE Im 29 year old, young and ready for you (as she types she covers her eyes in embarrassment) DAVID (ON COMPUTER) Really? Im sorry, youre too young for me DIANNE (ON COMPUTER) Sorry, I umm, I dont know why I lied. Im 37. This is embarrassing, but this is the first time I have used one of these things. Oh god I sound like some old person, tell me about yourself if you still want to talk to me DAVID (ON COMPUTER) (smiles at her honesty) Wow, someone who tells me whats on their mind, how refreshing. I will still talk to you :) DIANNE (ON COMPUTER) (Dianne smiles and starts typing) Im in this relationship that isnt really going anywhere, you know? I umm Im looking for something more, if that makes sense? (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: DAVID (ON COMPUTER) (Smiles and starts typing faster) Yes! I completely understand, its crazy right?! I have been with this woman for years and yet we havent even connected on an emotional level for a while now. Shes vacant and distant and I am slipping out of her grasp DIANNE (ON COMPUTER) My partner, he comes home and switches off, I can feel him go. I feel him wash away with his thoughts. Im sick of doing it

TIMER FOR CHAT IS AT 8 Minutes, with 2 minutes remaining DAVID (ON COMPUTER) Yes, yes and yes! I understand completely. You know what? Add me on my email, I would love to chat more, if thats okay? If you dont mind? DIANNE (ON COMPUTER) Yes, I would love to (sends David a fake email address) DAVID (ON COMPUTER) Great, well Ill message you soon. Ten minutes doesnt seem like enough time, does it? DIANNE (ON COMPUTER) No, its not enough. Not enough with you ;P Davids mood has lifted and he is smiling and gets a long with his day in a happy mood. Suddenly everything seems brighter to him and the colors are starting to come back into focus for him. Dianne is at the house where the leak that was previously heard from the first scene has finally started to become stronger and faster. She sits in her bedroom looking at the screen and smiling. She grabs her pillow and screams in embarrassment/excitement. She hops in the bath and leaves her clothes spread out over the floor. She starts humming. David arrives home in a great mood and sees Dianne is in the bath

DAVID Whats got into you? DIANNE What do you mean? DAVID Youre very happy and using the bath, you havent used the bath in months DIANNE Oh umm, well it was a good day today. DAVID yeah for me too The two of them are eating at the table, they are both thinking about the person they spoke to and cant wait to talk to them. They both finish up DIANNE Lets just leave the dishes for tomorrow DAVID Really? Are you sure? DIANNE Yeah, plus I have so many emails to get to. It would be good to get it all done by tonight DAVID (smiling at her laid back attitude) Yes, I agree. I have a ton of work to do as well. DIANNE Great. Its settled then David has a shower and Dianne quickly uses the me to email the "anonymous" person she spoke to today. DIANNE (ON COMPUTER) I cant stop thinking about our conversation, I cant stop going over it in my head. Suddenly, everything seems good again. I was thinking about my partner again today and how much he has changed, (MORE) (CONTINUED)

DIANNE (ON COMPUTER) (contd) we use to be so good together you know? People use to look at us like "thats what I want one day" now all we do is serve as a cautionary tale about marriage and commitment :( I love him but Im not in love with him, if that makes sense? It probably doesnt make sense but Im hoping that maybe you will make sense of it for me? I know that I only just started talking to you and I know that we have only known each other for 10 minutes haha but I feel connected to you. Could you do me a favor? Do you mind telling me whats on your mind, I dont want to hear about the weather, I dont want to talk small talk. I want you to tell me whats going on in your mind. Please and thank-you. Until next time (do people finish emails off like that?) haha Bye X Dianne sends the email and quickly changes the website to facebook. David walks in and hops in bed and decides to check his emails. He sees a email from the mysterious lady and shuts the laptop down. DAVID You know, Im just going to do my work in the study tonight. I dont want to bother you and I may be up late tonight so... DIANNE Oh okay, well that makes sense David leaves to go to the study and checks his email from the woman he was speaking to today. He reads it and cant believe what he is reading, its as if this person is inside his mind, he isnt alone in the world anymore. Excited, he stretches his hands out to start typing and puts all his work to the side. He writes back DAVID (ON COMPUTER) What a coincidence, because you have been on my mind all day today too. I havent stop thinking about what we talked about too. Reading your email to me was like going over my head what I deal with on a day to day basis. Whats on my mind (MORE) (CONTINUED)

DAVID (ON COMPUTER) (contd) right now you ask? Right now I am thinking that I have never had such a honest conversation in my life, on my mind right now is the fact that I no longer feel alone in this world. Its strange because you do everything right, you finish college, you go to university, you get a job and get married and thats when your life is really meant to start, you know? But it didnt start for us, it stopped. She kept disappearing and becoming more faded and soon the women I was looking at, wasnt the same women I married. I cant help but think to myself that she thinks the same has happened to me. But its not true, I am right in front of her. Sorry to be a kill buzz. He sends the email and takes a deep breath. He taps on the screen and waits for a reply. On the other side of the house is Dianne who has been doing everything but shake the laptop waiting for a reply, she finally hears the sounds of a new email. She eagerly puts her laptop down on the bed and checks her new email. She smiles as she realizes it is from him. She opens up the new email and reads it. She quickly starts typing a reply. DIANNE (ON COMPUTER) Wow, how refreshing. Yes I completely understand where you are coming from. I feel like I keep looking at my partner and wondering where have you gone. This is a bit intimate but we havent had sex in over 8 months, at first it was hard but I got use to it (how horrible does that sound). I suppose the thing with commitment is that its always going to be a challenge, sometimes its good but most of the time its like a battle and youre constantly fighting it uphill. I just wish it would be easier, dont get me wrong, my man he provides for me and he does all the stuff a man is suppose to do, in the traditional sense but now its like we are just boring people. i feel like I cant offer him anything and (MORE) (CONTINUED)

DIANNE (ON COMPUTER) (contd) I feel like he cant offer me anything substantial; which is so bizarre because we use to be able to talk like you and I, we use to be able to talk about kids and traveling and art and music. We use to have fights and arguments and things use to matter, but somewhere along the line, we stopped caring. Stopped caring about each other, stopped caring about ourselves. I miss that feeling ,that intimacy. They continue chatting to the end of the night and as their conversation delves deeper into their relationships with their parents and siblings and friends, the leak in the house becomes more stronger and stronger. David emails her a 3 letter email DAVID (ON COMPUTER) Close the door Dianne walks up quietly and shuts the door DIANNE (ON COMPUTER) I have just shut the door DAVID (ON COMPUTER) Good. I want you to put your hand down your pants DIANNE (ON COMPUTER) Wow, I dont know what to say DAVID (ON COMPUTER) Trust me, nothing too creepy, just put your hand down your pants DIANNE (ON COMPUTER) They are down my pants DAVID Put your Index finger and middle finger over your vagina DIANNE (ON COMPUTER) Okay (its getting harder to type) DAVID (ON COMPUTER) Right, no more typing. Just listen and do. Rub youre fingers over your vagina slowly, slowly and then (MORE) (CONTINUED)

DAVID (ON COMPUTER) (contd) insert the index finger and middle finger slowly. Put your fingers in and out slowly, were in no rush David starts breathing heavier as does Dianne who is now painting for breath. The leak in the house is nearing the end of the built up pressure DAVID (ON COMPUTER) (cont) Now keep it up, slowly build a momentum. Relax and let go of everything Dianne follows everything as he is typing DAVID (ON COMPUTER) (cont) Keep going, keep it up. Okay now go faster and keep the pace up, keep it up, keep it up Dianne imagines her husband on top of her doing everything, they carry on the conversation until she cums. Her whole body explodes and spasms at the exact same time David has cum. They both have reached an ecstasy like level of sexual pleasure, moments later the pipe burst in the house and the sprinklers go off, the house becomes flooded and they both freak out. They run out of house until Dianne stands in the hallway watching as the water drips over her wedding photos. Looking out into the hallway and finally seeing colors again, she smiles and looks out at her husband who can now see the woman he married. DAVID Youre the woman I married, this woman. I have missed you DIANNE (crying) I have been here, Im sorry. I feel so guilty, I stopped loving you, I stopped everything and I shouldnt of. I love you, and I... I hate that you wear socks to bed DAVID Huh? DIANNE I hate that you wear socks to bed (screaming) and how you dont kiss (MORE) (CONTINUED)

DIANNE (contd) me when you walk in the door, you dont kiss me on the cheek. Im your wife, not your sister DAVID Im sorry, Im sorry about all of it... I hate when you dont tell me anything, I cant read your mind, I miss arguing with you. I miss it all with you. Its meant to be you and I together, how can I love you if your not with me anymore DIANNE I know, I know, I love you. Its you and I DAVID Say it again DIANNE Its you and I! DAVID AGAIN! DIANNE ITS YOU AND I! David grabs Dianne and kisses her like they have just met each other. He holds her and pushes his lips over hers, he moves his mouth over her neck and they start to make love. They both orgasm together. The sun comes up on for the next day, they are both lying in the hallway and have finally found each other again. Their is a knock on the door, they both get up. Its the plumber they had called earlier PLUMBER Hey, I am here to fix your... The plumber looks at how flooded the house is and doesnt know how to react DAVID Shes a bit wet mate (smacks Diannes butt) DIANNE (Laughs) Excuse my husband, we umm we dont know what happened. Come in and have a look (CONTINUED)

After inspecting the house for over half an hour, the plumber finally figures out the problem PLUMBER (talks to both of them) See, what were looking at here is some bad plumbing from a previous job. Whats funny is this would have taken months to build up, maybe even years before something like this needed to happen. See this pipe here, it would of been just dripping slowly and then building the pressure until boom, yesterday happened and the whole thing busted. You just have to make sure to keep an ear out for the little things or else it can really cost you DIANNE Thank-you, looks like we werent paying attention DAVID I dont think its going to be a problem again (grabs Dianne hands and kisses her on the cheek) End Scene.
