Screenplay - Scene 10

INT. EDINBURGH FLAT - NIGHT
It is night and the street lamps are burning.
BERLIN washes the dishes.
YING YING and SAINT are sitting at the table.
They look at each other.
Suddenly, YING YING startles as her mobile phone rings.
She picks it up.

YING YING
Hi.

MOB 1
(Voice)
I know where you are!

YING YING breathes hardly and uses her hand to cover her mouth.
She moves on then gets away from SAINT and BERLIN.

MOB 1 (CONT'D)
(Voice in Chinese)
- lines in Chinese -

YING YING starts to sweat on her face.

MOB 1 (CONT'D)
(Voice in Chinese)
- lines in Chinese -

YING YING still breathes hardly
and she uses her hand to cover her mouth.

MOB 1 (CONT'D)
(Voice in Chinese)
- lines in Chinese -

The MOB 1 hangs up.
YING YING almost cries and she walks to SAINT.

SAINT
Are you alright.. You look weird.

YING YING
I want to go to Glasgow tomorrow!

BERLIN
Why?

YING YING
I get bored here. I want to visit somewhere else.

SAINT
Well, if you wait for us for a couple of days,
we'll take the train to Glasgow this weekend.
Alright?

SAINT holds YING YING's hand.
YING YING looks as SAINT's hand.
She smiles sweetly and mysteriously.
BERLIN looks at SAINT and YING YING as he washes up.
He looks jealous and disappointed,
but he tries to cover his own feelings.
