EXT.

SIDE STREET – DAY

Set in a fashionable Harajuku neighbourhood in Tokyo. A neighbourhood which is full of


life, very busy and colourful. During the day, roads are packed with a range of people with
mainly a kawaii style, this being a vibrant, unique style, with very outgoing outfits. The
people walking around are quite NOISY creative a wave of excitement through the town.
CLAUDE, a budding young artist that just moved to the city for university, is walking down
the street. He is wearing stripy blue top and ‘trendy’ jeans, wearing a black backpack.

CLAUDE
(Walking through the street very casually but with intent. Taking in the sounds of the town.
Sees SHELLY, an older pretty woman with brown hair, she’s about fifty yards away, he
looks at her and has a double take. He shows shock in his face)

(quietly mutters under his breath) Woah!

(He stops and thinks for a minute. Has a realisation. The thought of her is making his chest
rumble and his mouth dry. He has a glimmer in his eye. He sits down on a nearby ledge to
take a breath.)

CLAUDE
(sigh) That is the 100% perfect girl for me

CLAUDE (V.O)
Some may have their own view on what the definition of a 100% perfect girl, she may
have big eyes, slim ankles or graceful fingers. This girl may not be anything special
but there was just something about her. Something that I can’t figure out. I’ve never
felt like this before.

FLASHBACK – INT. RESTURANT – DAY

This restaurant is quite vintage and is slightly falling apart. Lots of clutter around, including
miscellaneous items from different cultures of the world. The vibes inside are very chilled
and feel very homely. The place feels like a warm hug. There is quiet BACKGROUND
MUSIC. The restaurant is half busy, there is a slight chatter throughout. Claude is sat on his
own in a booth.

CLAUDE
(Looking around, sees a girl and is transfixed on her looks)

CLAUDE (V.O)
Sometimes, when I’m out, I do catch myself staring at some girls because of the shape
of their nose or the way that they eat.

CURRENT DAY – ON LEDGE


CLAUDE (V.O)
As much as I like noses, I can’t remember hers or even if she had one. All I remember
is that she was no great beauty. It’s weird.

(gets up and walks away towards his apartment. This time with a spring in his step)

INT. IN ROOM – EVENING

A very organised rectangle room that overlooks the neighbourhood, with a white and beige
colour palette. A large double bed sits in the middle, with a grey desk in the corner. On his
bed sits a laptop and a notepad and pen. There is a full-length window with a shutter blind
that folds down.

CLAUDE
(Jumps onto the bed, his phone is ringing. He picks up the phone. His best friend
FELIX, a blonde funny boy who has been his best friend for years, is on the other end
of the line)

Yesterday on the street I passed my 100% perfect girl

FELIX
(surprised) Yeh? Good-looking?

CLAUDE
(hesitant) Not really.
FELIX
(smug) Your favourite type then?

CLAUDE
(slightly confused) I don’t know. I can’t seem to remember anything about her.

FELIX
(confused) Strange.
CLAUDE
(questioning) yeah, it is so strange.

FELIX
(bored) so anyways, what did you do? Talk to her? Follow her?
CLAUDE
Nah. Just passed her on the street.
