THE SCENE
Final Scene.
Chiana and D'Argo looking at the Budong from Moya.
WHAT WENT WRONG!
GIGI:
D'Argo, I do what I have to do to survive.
ANTH:
Can't you just let go?
GIGI:
I can only let go when I feel safe.
ANTH:
You are safe.
GIGI
Am I? (D'Argo approaches her, and kisses her then leaves)
Whoa! What the hell have you been eating Simcoe?
ANTH: (strolls
back on to set) What are you trying to say?
GIGI: (grimaces)
Tastes like...God knows, what it tastes like!
ANTH: For your
information, I had my usual lunch!
GIGI: Oh God,
not the garlic sausage!?
ANTH: Yes.
Is there a problem?
GIGI: God,
Simcoes, don't you know anything about stage kissing?! You're
supposed to chew gum or something!
ANTH: I...well...I....
GIGI: Well,
what?
ANTH: Well,
if you must know, I've never kissed a woman before.
GIGI: You haven't!?
But you've been an actor for ages, and you're like a professor
of acting or something. Surely, you've had to kiss a woman on
stage before?
ANTH: No, never.
And I mean never. Not even in real life.
GIGI: (stares
blankly) You're kidding me right?
ANTH: (sobbing)
No! It's true!
GIGI: Oh honey!
I'm sorry!
ANTH: Don't
be. I'm used to it now. Do you know what the other kids at school
you to call me?
GIGI: Anth?
ANTH: No!
GIGI: Anthony?
ANTH: NO!
GIGI: Mr Simcoe?
ANTH: No!
KEMPER: AS?
BEN: Simmo?
CLAUDIA: Tony?
DIRECTOR: Antho?
