The Troubling Effect of Waves

EXT. RIVER BED - DAY
Frank is standing on the shore throwing a rock into the river. Max comes down from the roadway and he taps the cellphone off. Frank doesn't turn; he knows it's Max.

FRANK:
Well, what's the word?

MAX:
It's going to be one of those days.

FRANK:
What kind of day would that be?

MAX:
The kind where you wished you would of stayed in bed.

FRANK:
That's not good.

Max picks up a rock and throws it into the river.

FRANK:
Not a bad shot.

MAX:
You find this comforting?

FRANK:
Yeah I do. When all else fails. Nothing says relaxation more than trying to skip stones on water.

MAX:
Symbolic isn't it?

FRANK:
Well, I never thought about it that way.
