Title Sequence Narrative

The following is an outline of the narrative of our title sequence:

A man is running away from something… running fast. We don’t know why, we don’t know where. Does he even know where he’s going? We see a car driving – speeding – as if the driver is chasing something, or again, running from something. Suddenly, the two meet, and a nasty, dirty looking agent steps out of the vehicle. As he points a gun at the man, we see the victim’s thoughts in a flashback. He is in a pleasant park, sitting with a beautiful girl. They are talking. He gives her tickets, urgently commanding her to leave and go to New York. She is surprised, but trusts him. He whispers something to her – "Purple monkeys fly at dawn" – before abruptly leaving. We return to the present. Worry is setting in the man’s eyes. They communicate only through their eyes – no words are uttered. The trigger is pulled. The film jumps to New York, where the girl is entering her hotel room. Her phones rings, but no number comes onto the screen. Cautiously, she answers. She doesn’t recognize the voice, but what’s said make’s her heart skip a beat; "Purple monkeys fly at dawn". What does this mean…?
