Screenplay Excerpt

__________________________________

Wednesday waves to passerby. She looks regal.

WEDNESDAY

If I could grant you one wish, what would it be?

AMATERASU

My gosh, I guess it would have to be happiness.

Wednesday looks surprised.

WEDNESDAY

But you’re already happy.

Amaterasu’s face reveals otherwise.

AMATERASU

I don’t know.

WEDNESDAY

How come? I thought grown-ups got to make their own decisions.

That little profundity has Amaterasu watching the passing trees in silence.
