EXT. AMANDA'S HOUSE, SAN MATEO- Few Hours Later
PANEL 1: Cut to a shot of the street in the early afternoon where Amanda house, though we only see part of said house in its front yard to the lower left corner of the panel view. It's calm and pristine for the most part with a few people and mechas strolling around and chatting with one another. In the distance, you can hear a base guitar beat along with some indiscriminate lyrics that only pop up in little squiggles to the reader.
SINGER [from the dot]: "1-2 1-2-3-4!"
PANEL 2-3: A two-part set of panels that focuses on the same setting and layout as the previous panel. In Panel 2, a minute later, we see the front of a Hermes hover rental car that comes into view, along with a large metal cube kept aloft by a fleet of powerful drones; the guitar continuing on in a sharper, more thrash-y fashion befitting "St. Jimmy." In the next panel, a few seconds later, you can see the logo on the side of the cube which reads "Three Blind Mice Movers."
SINGER [Cont., from the hovercar; Panel 2]: "My name is Jimmy And you better not wear it out Suicide commando that Your mama talked about..." SINGER [Cont., Panel 3]: "King of all the forty thieves I mean to represent The needle in the vein Of the establishment..."
PANEL 4: Cut to the front door moments later, opened up with Amanda stepping through to see the car and its cargo a minute later as it makes its landing on the street in front of her house. You can see her dressed in comfortable, house moving clothes and holding in a chuckle upon hearing the music bumping from the automobile's speakers.
SINGER [Off-Panel]: "I'm the patron saint Of the denial With an angel face And a taste for suicidal..."
PANEL 5: We move to a shot of the car itself moments later; the music firmly stopped after a brief flurry of guitar sounds that stretches from the previous panel here. Adam emerges from the passenger seat area in the foreground of the shot, waving enthusiastically at his sister with a grin.
ADAM [to Amanda]: Hey!
PANEL 6: Back to Amanda in the same setting and layout as Panel 4. She takes a step off of the mini-stoop that leads to the driveway; her eyes carefully looking over the massive cube that landed with a "THUD!" off-panel.
AMANDA [slight grin, to Adam]: Hey...you need help? BRIT [Off-Panel, to Amanda]: The Wi-Fi Dolly's still holding up well. But we can always use more hands, especially ones as beautiful as yours...

PANEL 1: We move back to the car in the same setting as Panel 5 of the previous page; the layout shifting slightly to the driver's side seat of the car where Brit emerges a few seconds after Mr. de Connick. She looks over toward Amanda with a wide smile born in the spark of former lovers reuniting.
BRIT [Cont., to Amanda]: Heya Dee Dee...
PANEL 2-3: Action shot in Panel 2 of the two of them running toward each other in the middle of the house's frontyard; the front of the neighbor's house is visible in the background. In Panel 3, they warmly embrace with Brit planting a loving kiss to a flurried mix of pink, purple and blue that permeate the sky above them. You can hear the sound of the car off-panel already flying out of the area as this goes on.
PANEL 4: Same setting/layout as the previous panel. A few beats later, the two of them let go and start to turn toward the boxes and things out on the street that need to be moved inside. The two of them are standing not that far from each other at this point.
BRIT: How's Erin doing? AMANDA [to Brit, pleasant]: She's good...got a 3.7 this last semester. BRIT [Bubble 2]: Nice! Every bit her mother's brains! AMANDA [Bubble 2]: HA!...
PANEL 5: Cut to a frontal shot of the two of them in mid-stride moments later as they move closer to the boxes. The two of them remain side-by-side of each other chatting about life, the universe and all that. You can see the front of Amanda's house in the background, along with Adam holding a couple of boxes and taking them inside.
AMANDA [Cont.]: She's over in India helping out at the refugee camp that are suffering those big droughts. Just before she left the country, she also helped finish writing a proposal to a VC for a friend of hers for her new pro-empowerment app. BRIT [seeming to remember something]: The BS Detector- the one with the Slap function? AMANDA [Bubble 2]: That's the one! BRIT [Bubble 2]: ...Must be extremely proud of her! AMANDA [Bubble 3]: Every single day...
PANEL 6: We move to a slight close-up of Brit a few beats later as they reach the edge of the sidewalk. She looks over at the off-panel assembly of Adam's stuff; her face shifts to a look of fond remembrance in regards to the aforementioned app.
BRIT [wistfully]: Oh, the amount of shitty dates I could've saved myself with an app like that!
