The scene quickly changes to Amalthea and Daedalus's small living room. It's early that evening, and Amalthea is sitting at the desk, performing strange experiments with metal, springs, and things of the sort. Her work area is illuminated by a single candle. Noises of thunder and lightning can be heard faintly.

AMALTHEA: It just doesn't make sense...how could this go together?

Daedalus enters the room, soaking wet and holding a beer bottle.

DAEDALUS: That's some rain.

AMALTHEA: I agree.

DAEDALUS: Are you working on those new ideas for the agency?

AMALTHEA: Yes, sir.

DAEDALUS: Alright. He takes a huge drink from his bottle then heads back outside.

AMALTHEA, looking at him disapprovingly: Stupid drunkard. She goes back to work, but can't concentrate. She sighs, throws the pieces of metal on the desk, and heads upstairs.

First of all, thanks for taking the time to read my very first (screen)play! I hope you enjoy it! :)

I would like to note that I see Medomai a lot like Edward Scissorhands (Of course, he actually has hands and looks like the average 1890s Englishman). But if you imagine him talking and acting like him, that's how I do. In other words, he's the innocent creature that's not used to conforming to society, unaware of the people somewhat preying on him.

And here is my inspiration:
1. Romeo and Juliet-
Forbidden love is everywhere nowadays, but I really wanted to bring back the Romeo and Juliet-type love. Most of the quotes I use in here are from this.
2. Sci-Fi...in general?-
My first shot at Sci-Fi. I wanted some type of futuristic subject in this story.
3. Childhood innocence-
Of course, this is very apparent. The reader can tell that Medomai is unusually innocent, while Amalthea is scarred by her past (making Medomai her savior of sorts). I see Medomai as quiet and smart, but very innocent, as well.
