Scene 1
Melissa meets Mike going out the door as she is going in the door.
Melissa: “Hey are you forgetting smething?”
Mike: “My water?”
Melissa: “How about sunscreen?”
Mike: “No, maybe later.”
Melissa walks inside; Mike walks out.
Scene 2
About 20 years later following a routine physical, Mike’s doctor asks to visit with him.
Doctor walks in through the door and sits at a table with Mike.
Doctor: “We have some bad news. You have been diagnosed with melanoma. We suggest surgical removal, but chemotherapy and radiation therapy are still options.
Mike (in shock) rambles on in question, starts to tear up, and puts his head in his hands.
Fade out.
Scene 3
Narrator: “According to the American Cancer Society, research shows a link between sunburns in children and increased risk of developing skin cancer later in life. To help prevent sunburn, you can put on some sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses. You can also look for strange spots on your skin and go to the doctor.”
Hey, it’s Cool in the Shade.
Protect your skin. Protect yourself.
