Letters to Juliet by Jose Rivera Revisions by Tim Sullivan Current Revisions by Will Fetters 12/11/08 Summit Entertainment 1630 Stewart Street, Suite 120 Santa Monica, CA 90404 INT. SOPHIA AND VICTOR'S APARTMENT, NEW YORK -- NIGHT A well-decorated one-bedroom in the Meat Packing District. OPEN ON: Long strands of freshly made pasta hung to dry in the living room. Hundreds of pieces. Draped off lamps, across tables, over chairs, everywhere. It's an extraordinary sight. Amongst this adornment of noodles, we find a beautiful young woman on the couch working on a laptop, trying to concentrate. She seems a bit distracted by the pasta that surrounds her. She is SOPHIA MARCUS. Sophia sighs as she looks up from her computer at the sounds of cooking that can be heard coming from the... INT. KITCHEN. WHERE: A man toils over a pot of simmering tomato sauce. He is a handsome Italian-American with big brown eyes. He is VICTOR. Victor tastes the sauce he's cooking the way a sommelier tastes wine. Slow and deliberate. He's pleased but subdued. Victor carefully plates some of that fresh pasta with his sauce and takes it into the living room. Sophia looks stressed out. She keeps glancing at what looks like a draft of a magazine article, certain parts have been highlighted. She's in the middle of typing something when Victor approaches with plate of food. VICTOR Here, taste. SOPHIA OK, gimme a second. Victor waits impatiently as Sophia finishes typing.
