LESSONS IN LIFESAVING
怀孕都有哪些症状1.INT. SWIMMING POOL. DAY
Camera ploughs up through TURBULENT, SEETHING WATER BUBBLES. Rising past thrashing fiercely thin legs and slender small hands it bursts through the surface to reveal a YOUNG GIRL – SKYE BENNET(12) – in GOGGLES. SKYE is powering way ahead of the others in the swim class.
Stocky, fierce coach - LIZ(42)barks from the side.
LIZ
That’s it Skye! Strong strokes! Reach -
LIZS words are lost as SKYE ducks UNDERWATER.
SECOND BEST swimmer AIMEE(13) pops up gasping beside her
AIMEE
(spits)Gross! I drowned -like ven手机屏幕漏液
times-chasing you!You’re-so-
ridiculous!
SKYE
Wait! (Skye points at a scrawny boy and
sings) ‘Sexy xy boy on the street’
The two girls gyrate in parody of a GIRL BAND DANCE ROUTINE
SKYE/AIMEE
英雄的英语watch my heart skip ah yeah’Bewildered scrawny BEN JACOBS(10) frowns harder trying to ignore the girls as his skinny arms flail desperately.
LIZ
Kick out harder Ben! More power!
AIMEE
More power Benny! You can do it!
BEN
Shut up! ..you..(he arches)..whores!
壁纸高清手机BEN looks imploringly at LIZ. She turns to a large body swimming behind BEN
AIMEE
Oh my God! is that an iceberg?
SKYE
Ohmygod! Is it.. a diad whale?
AIMEE
Too ugly for a whale! It’s a giant
slug!
Obe MARTHA(10) rais her middle finger as she floats by
AIMEE
Duh! Forget this shit. - Ballet! No
cripple boys. No fat ass retards.
SKYE
Does Ballet save lives? Does Ballet get
you millions in swimwear endorments?
LIZ

AIMEE
Bigtime lesbian
SKYE

Just then FAT MARTHA floats past brushing AIMEE
AIMEE
Yo! Godzilla! Return to planet fat ass!
MARTHA kicks water in their faces and swims away.
SKYE V/O
That’s the thing. Not everybody is even
worth saving.
SKYE’S eye is drawn from MARTHA to two 12 YR OLD BOYS engaged in a splash war – spitting and shrieking.
Abruptly the BOYS stop; AWESTRUCK. SKYE follows their gaze across into the main CATHEDRAL-SIZE LAP POOL
SKYE V/O
But some people…cpu会坏吗
Everything falls silent. Turning SKYE es that all eyes are trained on perfectly streamlined beautiful -
NIKKI (32)
SKYE V/O
Some people are worth ten times a
regular person.
NIKKI walks slowly around the POOL staring straight ahead - emingly unaware of the eyes of the all the men following her. As NIKKI walks towards the DIVING BOARD - GARY(35) a DARK MOUNTAIN of MUSCLE walks parallel in the PUBLIC GALLERY
NIKKI stands perfectly poid. Every muscle is ten and ready to dive. Around her the MEN rai their gaze
transfixed by her exquisite figure and rene focus.
In the GALLERY, GARY leans forward attentively. NIKKI turns to him with icy contempt and then looks back at the water. NIKKI looks down at all the upturned ogling faces. Amidst the leering males her eye is drawn unexpectedly to the
十地wide-eyed adoring SKYE. Without warning she jumps and dives.
SKYE watches ablaze with admiration as NIKKI executes a PERFECT SWAN DIVE her slender body arching midair..
CUT TO LATER 2.INT. SWIMMING POOL – WOMENS CHANGING. DAY
SKYE sits tying her LACES. She waves goodbye to AIMEE
Just then a CELLPHONE rings. NIKKI – walks out of the SHOWER. She stands staring at her RINGING CELLPHONE as if
it is an alien object. She moves to her LOCKER and dress efficiently. The CELLPHONE keeps ringing. SKYE watches NIKKI step outside – her CELL still RINGING. Through the door she glimps GARY glaring from the end of the HALLWAY holding his CELL. He clicks his PHONE off. NIKKIS stops RINGING.
GARY
(eastern european accent) He’s waiting.
SKYE watches GARY lead NIKKI out. NIKKI turns back for a moment and catches SKYE. SKYE turns away at the cold challenge of her blue-eyed gaze.
CUT TO LATER 3.INT. SKYES HOUSE. EVENING
SKYE scans the ILLUSTRATIONS in her LIFESAVING BOOK ‘TOTAL IMMERSION.’ Across the room her father DAVID(45) works at his LAPTOP.

CUT TO 5. INT SWIMMING POOL. DAY
SKYE V/O
Unless she helps..
SKYE is staring at NIKKI who stands in the TRAINING POOL. NIKKI smoothes her HAIR. She looks over to where GARY is watching. She turns back and slowly clos her eyes.
SKYE drops UNDERWATER. She views NIKKIS FLAWLESS LEGS and breastrokes underwater to POP UP right beside her.
SKYE
Hey. Could I… save you?
NIKKI opens her eyes and obrves SKYE quizzically.
SKYE
I’m going for my junior lifesaver. I

NIKKI looks over to FAT MARTHA floating like a WAXEN CORPSE and BEN savaging the water like A DERANGED WINDMILL.
