Prompt

Nostalgic 1986 American summer comedy, Fast Times at Ridgemont High aesthetic with golden-hour polish. A sun-drenched beachside diner at magic hour — red vinyl booths, chrome edges, a lazy ceiling fan, a Coca-Cola neon sign buzzing in the window. Two friends in their early twenties sit across from each other in a booth: Jessie in a red tee tied at the waist and denim cutoffs, long blonde hair in a loose ponytail; Mara in a fitted white t-shirt and faded Levi's, dark wavy hair. Between them sits a shared banana split with two spoons, towering whipped cream, one maraschino cherry on top. Outside the window, a red Corvette, the Pacific glinting gold behind it. [0s–4s] Medium shot of the booth, slow push-in. Jessie and Mara both eye the cherry at the top of the sundae. They glance at each other, then back at the cherry. A slow, knowing smile spreads across each face. Mara's hand drifts toward her spoon. [4s–8s] Whip-pan to a tight two-shot across the table. Both friends reach for the cherry at the same time — their spoons meet in the air with a bright ting. They freeze, eyes locked across the sundae. The ceiling fan spins lazily above them. A bead of melted ice cream rolls down the glass. [8s–12s] Cut to a low angle between their faces. They slowly lower their spoons, still staring each other down. Jessie raises one eyebrow. Mara raises one eyebrow back, higher. Jessie raises both. Mara raises both and adds a smirk. Jessie cracks first, bursts out laughing, throws her head back. Mara laughs too. [12s–15s] Wide pull-back. Mara, still laughing, casually picks up the cherry with her fingers and eats it in one bite. Jessie's laugh cuts off. Her jaw drops. Mara shrugs, grins directly at the camera. Freeze- frame on Jessie's shocked expression, Mara mid-grin. Warm 3600K golden-hour sunlight streaming through the windows as key, cool 5200K fluorescent fill, soft pink neon spill from the Coke sign, rim-lit blonde hair. 1986 Kodachrome palette — cherry reds, butter cream, denim blues, chrome silver. Anamorphic 2.39:1, shallow DOF, visible 35mm grain, subtle film-halation on highlights. Audio: Fender Rhodes groove underneath, a sax riff entering at 4 seconds, ambient diner sounds (sizzling grill, distant jukebox, quiet chatter), a bright metallic ting on the spoons meeting at 5 seconds, both friends' laughter at 10 seconds, a single vinyl record-scratch when Mara takes the cherry at 13 seconds. No dialogue. Maintain distinct identity: Jessie in red with blonde ponytail, Mara in white with dark wavy hair. No color or hair swaps. Preserve sundae geometry, stable booth layout. Avoid morphing between the two characters. --duration 15 --camerafixed false --ratio 21:9
