The Community, Issue 5: Part 4.1

Page 126

Panel 1: A two-part set of panels, forming a single scene, that shows her crossing through the metal detector a few moments later, while still addressing the security guard.

JESMINDER

(Cont., to the security guard; translated from Hindi) I was hoping to get in touch with Reynolds about his "infrastructure" bill.

Panel 2: In the second part, we see Jesminder cross through the scanner and stand right in front of her purse; her hands beginning to put her stuff back inside her purse.

JESMINDER

(Cont., translated from Hindi) You happen to know if he's in his office?

JESMINDER

(Bubble 2; reacting to Panel 3, Bubble 1) Brilliant! Thank you a lot...

Panel 3: Cut to a shot of the security guard with an earnest look on his face, pointing somewhere off-panel right as he speaks.

SECURITY GUARD

(to Jesminder, translated from Hindi) He just got back from a work lunch half hour ago. It's on the 2nd floor- two rights, and a left.

SECURITY GUARD

(Bubble 2; reacting to Panel 2, Bubble 2) You are welcome, and good luck.

Panel 4: Action shot of Jesminder a few minutes later walking through a hallway in search of office space.

(Cont., Security Guard)

"That bill of his is utter shite, in my view."

Panel 5: At the end of a hallway, she stops and glances around to the left. You can see on her face that the young/old woman is near her destination.

JESMINDER

Remember: hammer home the YouGov poll that said environmental regulations should be stronger, not weaker. Then go into...

Panel 1: A few moments later, there's a faint rumble coming from off-panel right; the emotional shift providing the necessary shift for her to look that way.

JESMINDER

(worried) Panicky and confused- never a great combo...I could spare a little time to find out what's going on.

Panel 2: Coming out of one of the office's near Jesminder a short time later as the fire alarm goes off is an intern from one of the constituent offices. She glances down at her phone as she runs.

JESMINDER

(to the intern) Hey- miss!

Panel 3: Cut to a close-up of the intern's face a split second after Ms. Gupta finishes the rest of her question.

JESMINDER

(Cont., Off-Panel) Any idea why that alarm is going off?​

INTERN

There's some break-in on the floor of Parliament.

Panel 4: We move to a shot of Celia looking out at her work a short time later; a small cloud of smoke behind her in the background, along with a section of benches for the opposition.

(Cont., Intern)

"I wouldn't get too scared though. It's probably some nutter playing a prank."

Panel 5: Wide shot of her creation- a massive tarp with "What's The Point of Surviving a Pandemic, Just to die in Ecological Armageddon?!" written on it and "LDM" on the lower right corner; a barren patch of the Amazon stripped of trees visible in the center. It's tacked on using balls of duct tape.

CELIA

(Off-Panel) One here, one back home...pretty good start.

Panel 6: Cut to a shot of Celia standing a handful of feet away, watching her work with a big smile on her face. She's wearing a tanktop and a pair of jean shorts; her curly hair tinged with water along with her face. In the middle of her statement, there's a loud "BANG!" off-panel right emanating from the entrance.

CELIA

(Cont.)

Now's the tough part: the base break-in. Amelia should have a layout of the floor I'm supposed to hit by the time I'm.
