A "Kip" Draft

the phone rings. the scene sways passionately, and gracefully. their voices are hidden, and stark.
we see kip’s house, alone in a flat, agrarian area.
hello, KIP!
.MAY!
.it is so inspiriting to hear your voice,
.even though you are so very far away.
we see a visage of kasimir, in kip’s mind.
.MAY, i want to come to KASIMIR,
.i want to live with you, in KASIMIR
well, what are you going to do?

.i am trying to save up money to go to KASIMIR
.there is good birdwatching in KASIMIR, i have heard.

.i wish i did not have to use money, in order to get to KASIMIR.
.MAY, i miss you.
i miss you too, KIP.
.i hope that maybe we can meet, in KASIMIR.
i hope so.
.good-night, MAY.

we see a carnival, in the distance, on the shore of a pond. its lights glow like fire in the night, and are reflected in the pond.
kip is speaking to a mr. darja, a games operator.
.MR. DARJA, how much money can i make playing your game?
that depends on how you play the game, KIP.

.i want to go to KASIMIR
.i need enough money to go to KASIMIR

KASIMIR is a long way off, KIP
what about CECILIO, KIP?
who will take care of CECILIO if you are in KASIMIR?

.CECILIO is not in KASIMIR, MR. DARJA
.but birdwatching is in KASIMIR,
.wonderful birdwatching, MR. DARJA.

we see kip, cycling home along a road. the road is surrounded by trees. it is blue and green. it is a grey night. it may be raining.
kip stops at a crosswalk, waiting for a ‘walk signal’.
kip looks up. he sees a cast of hawks. he turns to the woman next to him. her name is sibyl
.those are hawks, ma’am.
quite right,
it is a cast of hawks.
i studied casts, once.
.where?
in KASIMIR.
.i am going to go to KASIMIR, soon.
you will love KASIMIR,
everyone loves KASIMIR.
we see a scene of a savannah-like place in tropical kasimir. it appears in sibyl’s speech bubble.
in KASIMIR, the casts do not lay their own eggs,
but hide fledgling in the nuts of the miltree,
where they are kept cool,
and where they can drink the nourishing milk of miltree nuts.
KRASIMIR is a wonderful, magical place.
you will love KRASIMIR
we have left sibyl’s fantasy.
everyone loves KASIMIR.
.what is your name, ma’am?
my name is SIBYL
.well met, SIBYL
.my name is KIP
the walk signal appears.
.meeting you was wonderful, SYBIL.
