                Oops...
EXT. SANTA MONICA BEACH - DAY
GIRLS IN BIKINIS run up and down the shore.
Hand in hand, MOMO and MIMI walk into the sea.
He bathes with her in the sea.
They splash each other.
He swims away.
WAVES HER GOODBYE.
She freaks out.
SWIMS AFTER HIM.
Clings to him.
Rides on his back to the shore.
Takes out plastic shovels, buckets, icing spatula.
TOGETHER, they both make a sandcastle.
THIRTY MINUTES LATER
Sitting close together, they sip coconut water.
Admiring their DREAM CASTLE.
Some passersby LOOK at their masterpiece.
Others STARE at each of them.
She NOTICES.
                            MIMI
                MOMO, when I was in China,
                I always thought America is
                the land of the kind. Until San
                Diego...
                           MOMO
                Why?
                            MIMI
                People here don't ask don't tell,
                but they stare. They don't realize
                the world is not just black and
                white. They need to travel abroad
                and see more colors on the other
                side of the world. They think they
                are bigger, so they can bully--
                           MOMO
                Anyone can become a bully if
                given the chance. The rich bully
                the poor, the poor bully the poorer.
                            MIMI
                Is it because I look different--
                           MOMO
                Of course you look different...
