BLACK SCREEN
The quiet hum of CITY TRAFFIC and DISTANT SIRENS.
Gradually, we make out something unnerving, right beside
us: SOMEONE BREATHING ... A MASSIVE RED TITLE FADES UP:

pulls himself up, the BREATHING BESIDE US RESUMES ...

he is MAYOR MITCHELL; his female challenger, BELLA REAL,
young, intelligent, a force of nature, shares the stage --

projects like our sea wall, and
the safety net for those in need--

BELLA REAL (ON TV)
-- the Renewal Program is broken!
The city's been "renewing" for
twenty years, look where it's
gotten us! Crime has skyrocketed!
