"Far Out"
This is a short I've been working on for a while; A teenage hippie teaches her boyfriend about what it means to be at one with Mother Nature. Or so she thinks..
Scene 1 - Ext. Hillside - Day.
Heather - a teenage hippie - and her boyfriend Josh - who isn't a hippie - are walking uphill with bags on their backs. Josh has a mobile in his hand and is listening to the radio.
Heather stops, turns around and takes the phone from Josh. She throws it back down the hill. Josh stares after it.
JOSH
What did you do that for?
HEATHER
You don't need that out here. All you need
is the peace and serenity between humankind
and Nature.
JOSH
So I can't even listen to the news?
HEATHER
Here's the news, Josh - these trees
are in terrible danger. And only we
can save them. So you have to be fully
committed to this!
Josh looks at her and smiles.
JOSH
Babe, you know I am.
Heather smiles back.
HEATHER
Sorry about your phone. I'll get you a
new one when we get back.
Heather continues cheerfully up the hill.
HEATHER
Don't worry, Josh. This is going to be
totally groovy! I mean, absolutely
far out!
Josh looks a bit skeptical as he starts to follow her.
JOSH
Geez, Heather... Nobody uses words like
that anymore.
