The Purple of Life, scene 14


INT. BEDROOM - MORNING

Andy’s alarm wakes him. Per his routine, he gets up, turns on the coffee pot, the television news, and does his push-ups.


NEWS ANCHOR (V.O.)
The winds have pushed the fires in new directions, seriously threatening the communities of Yorba Linda, Temescal Canyon and Corona....

Andy stops and goes to the TV set.
NEWS ANCHOR (CONT'D)
Evacuations are not yet mandated, but fire chiefs recommend that people start to pack up a “must have” box of valuables that can be quickly taken once the order to evacuate is given.

Andy turns off the TV and looks outside. Dark smoke plumes from the fires in the distance.


He gets a box.


ANDY

What should I take?

He gets his bible and puts it in the box. He looks around. he picks up his camera and places it in the box. He takes a few more books and a file full of documents.


ANDY (CONT'D)

That should do it for an emergency.
