	Act 1A Scene 0070 "Mole Hills"		Notes & Images
	EXT. SUBURBAN HILLSIDE PARK - DAY  CELINE  We need to talk.  ERNEST  We... um. What are we doing?  CELINE  Listening to your existential angst make mountains out of mole hills followed by an orbital dynamics 101 class.  ERNEST  I am a ramblin' man. Wait. Am I in trouble? What did I do? What do we need to talk about?  CELESTE  Trouble?  CELINE  No trouble. But you could work on your social skills more. After all, our family is about to get much bigger soon.  CELESTE  What!?  ERNEST  Ya, Grandma and Grandpa are coming soon. Stronger together and all that. It will be nice. We're going to bring aquaponics to the whole neighbourhood. Farming fish and vegetables and herbs and fruit and...  CELINE  Yes that too.  CELESTE  Aquaponics is a fish farm?  ERNEST  It's a whole system - for growing fish and plants. But you said, "that too". And, "much bigger soon". Does that mean...?  CELINE  So it turns out we're good for an adoption! We're going to have another child - or two.  CELESTE  Brother or sister?  ERNEST  That's terrific news! But two? Does this mean twins are a new option?  CELINE  Nope. Not that I know of. We can go down and check them out next week. It'd be nice to have it all in place before my folks come.  ERNEST  Siblings? Did we ask for more than one?  CELINE  We didn't ask them for more, but in a way you were asking for it...  ERNEST  Wait, what? You're pregnant? Pwooow! How mind-blowingly terrific! I wondered what the sudden weight gain was about - now I know we've got about a week to go.  CELINE  Don't tease.  CELESTE  How come no one asked me? This is more than fishy.  ERNEST  I can tease now because soon I won't be able to. In half a year you'll... Argh!  CELINE  What is it?  CELESTE  Daddy?  ERNEST  Aye I eye. It's not that bad. Just sudden and startling. My antiquated cochlear implant is acting up. Only when I get excited and do a certain... Argh! ERNEST's cochlear implant for his deaf right ear squeaks as the whole side of his face reacts and his right eye winces.  CELINE  So stop, don't do it.  ERNEST  I suppose I can.  CELESTE  No. Stop it.  ERNEST  I mean, I can stop. So - this is so exciting! The camera slowly pulls back to a wide shot by the end of the scene...  CELINE  Stop and smell the roses. Get back to roots, get grounded, plant yourself. Re-find the refined. Remember what counts. This is another whole new chapter in our adventure together.  ERNEST  Indeed. Re-find the refined. Nice.  CELINE  A vintage store ad.  ERNEST  Remember what counts - to a stats man? Well, you're half refined and you're half refined, and if I'm refined so that makes 2 of us. Not bad. Still need refinement.  CELESTE  Oh, you...  CELINE  No one said you're refined. Continued in next scene...		Bittersweet Seeds: Gallery: Characters: Act 1A Ernest (early concept illustration).

All images will be organized in the Bittersweet Seeds: Galleries. These images will include branding concepts, character designs, final renders, illustrations, prop designs, reference images, sets and settings, sketches, storyboards, unused images, vehicles, visualizations, etc. An aspect ratio (image) of 2:1, aka Univisium, aka 18:9, keeps widescreen proportions super simple - plus there's a fascinating history, many more technical economies gained, and growing support adopting this newer Univisium format. Many mobile devices feature 2:1 (18:9) screens and it's a new mandatory standard of content platforms like Netflix and Amazon Video - a creative limitation for those who may want alternatives.
