FADE IN:
SHEIKH ZAYED ROAD PHONEBOX
MARIANNE and JINA try opening the door of
the phone box on a rainy day.
Romantic/sad song playing in the background.
MARIANNE- holding the door I need to call
him now
JINA- I don’t know if he will answer after
what happened.
Marianne insists on opening the door and
pulls it harder.
MARIANNE- (closes the door behind her and
whips off her tears)
Hello?
Music comes on and the audience don’t know
whether “he” answered or not
JINA- did he answer? What does he think we
should do now?
MARIANNE- let’s just shop so I forgot about
him, I don’t want to think about it today
JINA- okay girly lets just shop till we drop
MARIANNE- or what daddy says till my credit
card stops swiping
JINA- hahaha I love it!
MARIANNE- so where should we head to first?
JINA- Harvey?
MARIANNE- of course Harvey Nichols is always
the first option.
As they shop they see a man that looks like
the guy Marianne was talking to
JINA- oh my god! Is that Charlie? How did he
find us? I bet you told him we were coming
here so we could so just happen to bump into
him at the shopping mall.
MARIANNE- obviously not! Where is he I cant
see him?
JINA- come on mary don’t lie to me
MARIANNE- Jina I would never just look at
the way I look right now. Do you honestly
think I would want to see him after that
conversation I had with him?
JINA- I still don’t get what happened so you
better explain yourself over some coffee and
macaroons at lauderee after this
Marianne and Jina both try hiding behind the
rackets of clothes just in case the guy
see’s them
JINA- oh god, its not even him get out of
there.
MARIANNE- didn’t I tell you, now come on
lets get out of here their isn’t anything
that suits use here anyways.
