Desolate Jefferson's Search

 Skit. Thomas jefferson appears after slow light fade in. It is cold, desolate. Dessert like. Thomas is murmuring something. As it gets louder, it is heard "where is that tree", as the voice fade again back into murmurings, as he wanders around from left to right through center, now asking "why didn't they ever water it", as the desolate wind breaks apart his voice again, and is back into murmurings.

Here’s a script draft based on your scene idea:

FADE IN:

The scene is cold, desolate. A desert-like wasteland stretches endlessly under a dim, lifeless sky. Faint whispers of wind carve through the silence like forgotten echoes.

A slow, spectral light materializes, revealing a solitary figure—THOMAS JEFFERSON. His clothes, though of his era, are tattered, dulled by time. His breath is visible in the cold air.

He mutters under his breath, barely audible.

THOMAS JEFFERSON (murmuring, distant)
"Where is that tree..."

His voice fades into the wind, breaking apart like brittle parchment. He wanders, his boots dragging through the cracked earth, his eyes scanning the horizon as if searching for something long gone.

THOMAS JEFFERSON (slightly louder, distressed)
"Why didn’t they ever water it?"

His voice is swallowed again by the desolate wind. His movements slow. His shoulders sink.

The murmuring returns, unintelligible, as he continues pacing from left to right through the center of the wasteland—searching, searching.

The wind howls.

FADE TO BLACK.
