Opening

From Rom Com

The beginning takes place in the Forest Hills cemetery. The six main characters are sitting on tombstones in the middle of a game of Sincerity. Nick is new to the group, and at some point this becomes explicit. In addition, all six are wearing ornate black-and-white clothing. At this point in the storyline, Hallie and Dylan are dating, but Hallie mentions jokingly that she is attracted to Nick. This is not merely a joke, however, as the camera work reinforces her words and the feelings are presumably shared. At the beginning, everyone is being very clever and interesting but not necessarily expository.

EXT. Cemetery--Evening

Far shot. Six people are on the sidewalk outside Forest Hills Cemetery. They are closely grouped together. Some are laughing, perhaps one shoves another in a friendly manner. They go in the gate.

(v.o.) AIMEE The deceptively simple game of Sincerity, as played on June 16, 2007, was taken from the novel Prague.

Far shot. They are walking inside the cemetery, perhaps viewed from above.

(v.o.) AIMEE It's played like this.

Six friends, two cousins, two lovers, one new to the game, (??), sit in formation on empty graves. Discussion proceeds, and everyone lies.
KATI: I've always wished I were a natural blonde.
NICK: (something else that is a blatant lie)
AIMEE (voiceover): During Sincerity, each person can only tell one truth. And that's where we set our scene.
