Golden Gate Comic Con, Chapter 5: Pages 3-4
PAGE 3
PANEL 1: Same setting/layout as the last panel of the previous page; the water still spraying on his body as he speaks. You can see him in a brief moment of pause after hearing his sister's explanation, filling in the rest of the details in his mind.
ADAM [thought bubble]: Huh, so I basically showered in pee that looked and felt like real water...weirdly cool! AMANDA [Off-Panel]: End waterfall setting... ADAM [to Amanda, Bubble 2]: How do they make the Clagua precisely?
PANEL 2: We move to a side shot of the two of them (Adam to the left, Amanda coming toward him from the right) a few moments later; the water halting shortly after her previous command. You can see some framed photos and artwork from the room's side wall in the background.
AMANDA [to Adam, with a shrug]: Not sure, to be honest. Probably the same way they make Pop Tarts. ADAM [understanding]: Freaky science no mortals can fathom then. AMANDA [Bubble 2]: Basically...
PANEL 3: Action shot of Mr. de Connick heading over to the coffee table area where the C.A.T. remote is located; the couch partially located in the lower half of the panel view behind him. Over his right shoulder, you can see his sister moving a few steps toward his position as he speaks.
AMANDA [stopping him before he can go any further]: Whoa bro--no need for that. I rang up Hermes for a car to get me to work while you were in the shower.
PANEL 4: Slight close-up on Amanda a second later, standing a few feet from the back of the couch. She signals with her left fore finger toward the front door, tilting her head in the same direction, while addressing her brother.
AMANDA [Cont.]: It should be at the house in 5 or 6 minutes.
PANEL 5: Cut to a shot of Adam standing back from his slightly crouched position that we saw him in back in Panel 3, turning around to properly address her sister. There's a look of pleasant surprise on his face as he speaks.
ADAM: Cool! But isn't it kind of a stretch for you? AMANDA [Off-Panel]: Not at all. Their office is five blocks away. ADAM [Bubble 2]: Oh nice...should be fun. The last job I remember you had, you were an Assistant Manager at the AMC in Van Ness.
EXT. AMANDA'S HOUSE
PANEL 6: We move to a shot from outside the house of the Hermes car parked on the sidewalk in front of the house; the morning sun in full force on the little section of neighborhood. You can see the shadows of both of our protagonists as they situate themselves in the front seat of the automated car.
AMANDA [caption]: "This job is considerably better, and less annoying too, than that one."

EXT. EASTERN SAN FRANCISCO- 10 Minutes Later
PANEL 1: Cut to a shot of the Hermes car hovering in the air in front of a pair of buildings that are featured prominently in the panel view. One (on the right) appears to be a medical plaza of some kind, and the other (on the left) is a larger skyscraper-like building with a logo of a puck and a Shark above the ground floor center.
ADAM [caption]: "You work for the San Jose Sharks?" AMANDA [caption 2]: "Yep. In their PR department to be exact..."
INT. HERMES CAR
PANEL 2: We move to a shot of the de Connick siblings sitting next to each other a moment later as their car finalizes its landing procedure. Adam, to the left, is seen looking out the windows at the building seen in Panel 1. Melanie on the opposite side, meanwhile, has her card out and is going through the process of paying for the ride.
AMANDA [Cont., to Adam]: But it's now the San Fran Sharks. They haven't been in San Jose since the fire in 2030 and the team opened the Big g here in San Francisco in 2032.
PANEL 3: Slight close-up on Adam a few moments later, turning his head over in his sister's direction; a look of curiosity and mild confusion mixed together as he speaks. You can see the back of the head cushion to his seat in the background, along with part of the backseat immediately behind him.
ADAM [to Amanda]: Big g...is that the Google Arena where the Con's held?
PANEL 4-5: A two-part set of panels that moves things to Amanda's side of the car a few moments later just as she's finishes payment. In Panel 4, her free hand proceeds to unlock the safety belt she had on back in Panel 2. Then in Panel 5, with the buckle off, she starts to shift her body in preparation to step out. Off-Panel left in this panel, you can hear Adam's buckle also click off as she speaks.
AMANDA [nods, Panel 4]: One in the same- the Big g's just a nickname from a poll they had after the move was made. AMANDA [Cont. with a chuckle, Panel 5]: Barely beat out the Write-In from San Jose- "The House of Humongous Stupid d's."
