MINNÉ&
ZANE
06.03
WHERE IT
ALL BEGAN
(Open with Phil’s cheerful face, speaking directly to the camera, true to his lovable, enthusiastic self in a classic Modern Family interview style.)
Phil: "Okay, folks, gather round! Picture a town so tiny, sneezing in your kitchen basically means saying 'bless you' to the whole neighbourhood. That's where our love story unfolds. Imagine our stars: a girl named Minné and a guy named Zane — envision a younger, more athletic me!"
(Cut to a flashback of young Zane, nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs, walking through school.)
Phil: "Our hero Zane, summoning his inner Phil, gears up for the ultimate act of courage — forget wrestling a bear, he's laying his heart on the line for Minné! Zoom through the triumphs, the prom-posals, and our Zane is trading tackles for textbooks — all in the name of love!"
(Switch to Claire, her tone warm but with a hint of her characteristic realism, as we see a teary airport scene.)
Claire: "But then, life does what it does best: throws a curveball. Our young lovers face the trial of distance. Zane's journey takes him across the sea to the Isle of Man — it's not just for superheroes, Phil."
(Cut to a joyful reunion, Phil’s voice brimming with excitement.)
Phil: "But bam! Love conquers all! They're reunited and tackling calculus and life's conundrums, hand in hand."
(Montage of graduation, then the world coming to a halt due to lockdown, Claire's voice overlaying with a sobering touch.)
Claire: "They were ready to take on the world, but the world had other plans. A global pause button was hit, and they, like all of us, had to adapt. But they found strength in each other, making the most of the confinement."
(Cut to the couple in the Netherlands, cycling, Phil’s voice now.)
Phil: "Fast-forward to windmills and tulips! Our dynamic duo, Zane and Minné, is biking through the Netherlands, living the dream, and yes, Claire, making us both a tad envious."
(Show them settling in their new apartment, Zane orchestrating a whimsical proposal, Claire's voice soft with sentiment.)
Claire: "And then, in the gentle warmth of a Santorini morning, as the first rays painted everything gold, Zane proposes to Minné. It's quirky, infused with the optimism of sunrise, and so uniquely them."
(Show the couple happy, holding keys to their new house, Phil bubbling with enthusiasm.)
Phil: "And guess what? They're not just building a life together; they're building a home! Because, you know, they bought a house. Foundations of love, get it?"
(Cut back to both Phil and Claire, looking at each other fondly.)
Claire: "Their story isn't a fairy tale, it's real life. It's messy, it's unpredictable, and it's wonderful."
Phil: "It’s a love that says 'we can weather any storm as long as we're together.' And if that's not season finale material, I don’t know what is."
(Phil ends with his trademark thumbs-up, Claire gives an affectionate eye roll, and the scene softly fades, akin to the heartfelt, humorous end of a Modern Family episode.)
