A WOODEN CAT'S SECRET(7-8 min short film screenplay, romance)EPISODE 1 FADE IN INT. A SMALL ROOM OF A CITY FLAT - EVENING Electric light is on. Furniture is quite simple. An old brown wardrobe stays nearby a new elegant dresser. A blue coloured sofa with a decorated cushion stays by the wall, opposite the wardrobe. The only window is curtained. In front of the window there is a table with a computer. We see a nice young woman dressed in a light evening gown sitting at table typing a text. She has blonde hair with a wispy fringe. Her round face is serious; eyes are focused on the screen. From time to time she glances at a sheet of paper that lies right upon a pile of other similar papers. A childish chirp was sounding somewhere inside the flat. The chirp becomes louder but then it ceases. Quick steps run across a corridor and stop at the door of the room. The woman turns. We see a little girl - Lilly, who is about six year old. Her long hair is plaited. Big grey eyes keep a question. LILLY'S MUM (smiling at daughter): Hi, sweetheart! Are you playing? LILLY (running to mum and stretching a doll): Look at this dress, mum! Do you like it? MUM (looking at the doll): What a lovely dress! Where did you get this? LILLY (self-satisfied): I did it myself! MUM (scaring): How?! Where did you take a needle? LILLY: No needles. I did it without a needle MUM (easily sighing, noticing that the doll is just wrapped with a piece of cloth): Well, I see. Mum's eyes return to the computer screen. Lilly looks there too. MUM: I have some work to do… So… Please, wait for a while. O'key? LILLY (obediently): A-ha MUM (sighing): This report should be done till tomorrow but I... Er-r... I simply cannot finish it. LILLY (pronouncing new word): Re-port MUM: Lilly, sweetheart, play for ten minutes and I'll come. LILLY (suddenly frowning): Mum, why did you quarrel with dad? Mum sighed and glanced away. MUM (reviving): Lilly, please, go. I have to finish this work today. I will be soon. Lilly goes to the elegant dresser where many china figures stay on a shelf. Among the figures there is a wooden Siamese cat. It has funny green round eyes. The wood colour is chosen so nice that it's completely natural without any paint. LILLY (touching the wooden cat with a finger): Dad presented you this cat, didn't he? MUM (returning and glancing at the figure): Yeah, on Valentine Day. LILLY (taking the cat): Mum, who was that Valentine? MUM (irritating): May I work? LILLY: May I play with this cat? MUM (typing the text again): Of course, you may. Lilly takes the wooden cat and runs from the room.
