   "shot": 1,

   "action": [
    "BEGINNING: alive from the first frame, the diner already busy: S3 stands at the left edge with her back to camera; S4 sip their milkshakes through straws and lean toward each other; S1 sits at the counter, lifts his head and looks up toward screen left, holding a small gold police badge low in his right hand at the counter edge; S6 stands at the back counter with her back to us; people pass outside beyond the glass door.",
    "THEN: S2 walks in from the left behind S3 and leans over the counter toward S1 with his back to camera, both hands on the counter, while S1 speaks up to him.",
    "THEN: S2 straightens and turns his head over his right shoulder toward the back of the room, calling out; S1 lowers his eyes to his coffee and stays still; S5 push through the glass door at the back and shuffle slowly forward, looking for seats.",
    "THEN: S2 turns to face camera, eyes down, wiping his hands on the teal cloth; S5 stop behind S4 and look around the room; S4 keep sipping, heads down.",
    "END: S2 strides toward camera and crosses close past the lens out of frame right in a white blur; S6 now stands at the back counter facing camera, hands at her waist; S3 steps back into the left edge; the green-capped regular turns his head toward screen left; S1 has not moved, head bowed over his cup, the still centre of the busy room."
