Kicking off my senior film blog with the beat list of the story. As with anything, it is subject to change. But we'll see how it goes!

1. Establishing shot. Relatively empty speakeasy
2.Nelson and Remus are playing poker on a table
3.Confused, Remus looks at his hand. He has an Uno card, and some of his cards are facing the wrong way.
4.Nelson looks at his hand. Four aces. He smiles a bit as he pulls out a fifth ace from his sleeve.
5.Nelson taps the table, telling Remus to show his cards.
6.Hesitantly, Remus reveals his hand.
7.Nelson excitedly slams his hand down to reveal the five aces.
8.As Nelson greedily takes all the money, Remus becomes frustrated.

10. As the table is flipped, it hits Nelson in the jaw. Nelson goes flying back as the table continues spinning upwards.
11.Nelson falls to the ground, and the table lands on him.
12.Remus, looks horrified. He hurries to help Nelson up.
13.Remus lifts the table off Nelson and throws it aside.

15.Nelson notices and slaps Remus away and then quickly tries to hide the cards
16.Remus, trying to be helpful, picks up some of the cards and gives them to Nelson.
