From Pluto to Crux
01. CITY - EXT / DAY
Noah (26) walks down the avenue. Cars pass by. Walkers in a rush hour. The boy is wearing a blue t-shirt and jeans.
NOAH
Come along with me!
A very pretty nice girl, in her twenties, tries to cross the avenue, but a car honks. She’s extremely hot, but blind.
NOAH (CONT’D)
Are you blind, freak?
DRIVER
Fuck ya.
The driver weaves through traffic.
02. SIDEWALK - EXT / DAY
Noah and his hot blinded friend, Evangeline, walk by among other walkers.
EVANGELINE
How’s the sky today, Noah?
NOAH
We don’t have Pluto anymore.
EVANGELINE(giggling)
What for?
NOAH
Yeah, maybe to please astrologers.
EVANGELINE
Do ya believe in that shit?
NOAH
Who cares?
EVANGELINE
You know what I like most when I see the sky?
NOAH
See?
EVANGELINE
Yeah, as a metaphor.
NOAH(giggling)
There’s a theory that suggests that metaphors are based in mathematical truths, and may be key to both brain structure and artificial intelligence. Are you human?
EVANGELINE
Actually, I’m from Pluto. They’ve expelled me. That’s why it is not a planet anymore.
NOAH
I was quite sure of that. The thing you like most?
EVANGELINE
We aren’t able to count the stars, Noah. Billions of dollars and we can’t catalogue them at all. This is fascinating, isn’t it?
NOAH
Some are dead.
EVANGELINE
Some aren’t.
NOAH
You know what I like most when I don’t see a star?
EVANGELINE
Astrologer’s frustration?
NOAH
Human power.
EVANGELINE
Power?
NOAH
Blind power. Millions of generations looking for answers that don’t exist. No stars: desperation.
EVANGELINE
No inspiration to fix the world?
NOAH
Not enough eyes to see invisible stars.
EVANGELINE
Enlightenment comes with wisdom, boy.
NOAH
And with prejudices.
EVANGELINE
A blessing.
NOAH
A burden.
The hot blinded girl stops in front of a shore.
NOAH(CONT’D)
Today we have lots of stars.
EVANGELINE
I see.
NOAH
See? There’s Crux.
EVANGELINE
We’re in the North.
NOAH
I was just testing your X-ray vision.
Evangeline giggles.
EVANGELINE
Noah?
NOAH
Yes?
EVANGELINE
Would you look at me if I were ugly?
NOAH
Definitely not.
Beat.
EVANGELINE
I see.
NOAH
Why?
EVANGELINE
I think you’re not so blind.

The attack
A little girl was standing against the sofa, thinking about the stories she could tell to the world. Her duty started just like this: she decided to sell the world in short stories. Then, she succeeded and created a blog.
