Dialogues From Love!

Altenir Silva

Clarice, a stunning woman in her early thirties, approaches a man in his early forties.

 

CLARICE

Norman!

 

NORMAN

(Looks at her.)

Clarice!

 

CLARICE

How've you been?

 

NORMAN

I'm doing great.

 

CLARICE

Clayton returned to London.

 

NORMAN

No way!

 

CLARICE

Yes, it's over. Now… we can…

 

NORMAN

Can't believe how much I love you!

 

CLARICE

Me too.

 

(They embrace each other and kiss passionately. Then, a movie director enters.)

 

DIRECTOR

Cut! Let's do that one more time.

 

(Director leaves the stage. Clarice and Norman change their emotions from loving to hateful. They both speak quietly but sharply, always trying not to be heard.)

 

CLARICE

You're an asshole!. I can't believe you slept with Sarah. How could you do that? I don't think I can work with you anymore. Once this movie is over, I never want to see you again. And please, at the premiere, let's keep our distance.

 

NORMAN

With great pleasure.

 

(The director comes back.)

 

DIRECTOR

Are you two okay? Let's try this again.

 

(They take their positions.)

 

DIRECTOR

Everyone ready? Then, ACTION!

 

NORMAN

Can't believe how much I love you!

 

CLARICE

Me too.

 

(Norman and Clarice kiss passionately.)

 

(Blackout.)
