1. Bar - Indoor / Night It is nearly midnight in a dimly lit bar where there is a jam session. Some regulars are drinking their glasses and talk very softly. On a small stage, three musicians accompanying a young blonde woman in a thin and slender body that sings a jazz standard "What a difference a day made". She has a nice sultry voice, but it is not very comfortable on stage.
Fred and Leah are sitting at the bar on high stools. The latter looks at Fred with a maternal smile. She smiled at her condition a little offbeat and defeated because of alcohol when the latter, a sign casually asks the waitress to fill his glass.
Lea Empty your head a little, it's not like the other night ... You remember? Fred You're right, since I'm older, wait ... Fred grabs the wrist of a man who misses her and looked at his watch. Surprised and amused, the man lets himself go.
Fred last 5 hours ... Leah can not help but smile. She puts her hand on her friend's head and tenderly stroked her hair red.
Lea Since when is important for you to grow old? Fred smiles and looks in the direction of the small stage. She notices the embarrassment of being the beautiful singer on stage. Elsewhere in the room, almost all men are hypnotized by her cleavage. Fred shakes his head, dismayed by his attitudes. It looks next to Leah, who answer only to turn into raptures at the beauty of this singer.
Lea She is beautiful, eh? Fred so beautiful that nobody really listens ... Lea That's not his fault. Fred Look him up there for the moment that her breasts are of interest. Meanwhile, she fed her fantasy is wrong never happen ... It's sad, huh?
Lea does not respond, she is determined not to upset her friend. The singer arrived at the end of his piece and greet the public. Applause and hisses in the room. Still uncomfortable, she asked the drummer where it can place the microphone. A small displacement movement to the bar ... shackle the musicians immediately with another improvised piece and the beautiful blonde smiled shyly at Fred and Leah when she passes them.
Fred I can not believe she does it on purpose ... Lea Stop, it will not you be jealous. Fred She asked as a kid 6 years or it may ask the microphone. It is like a guest who will not trample on the scene as she just sing! Lea she is shy, that's all ... Fred she almost apologizes for being there, yeah! ... I am sick and tired of his childish behavior. You want to sing, sing mess! Lea Easy to say ... Fred What makes me mad is that everyone finds it normal. We need to infantilize singers that makes them so endearing ... Lea
There's no harm in that, You're too sensitive tonight ... loose yourself a little. Fred
You're purposely not understand what I said or what? A young man approaches the half-drunk two friends. The young man Hey! Fred, You got caught with your instrument? ... You can not really know eh? (Laughs). What is annoying is that you never know with the singers ... Too complicated ... with the guys at least we know what to expect, what is visible ... you know what I mean? Fred plays the young man by giving him back, she gets down from his stool and starts touching the face of it. She raises her glass up to his face.
Fred I see exactly what you mean. Wish me happy birthday, it's my party tonight! The young man is surprised by the energy suddenly provocative Fred, he hangs there and looks smug, approaching the small stage and grab the microphone.
The musicians do not look at Fred, they continue to play their song. She turned several times to capture their attention. They are impassive, connected only to their game and is clearly drunk and try hard to keep straight.
Fred-in micro- note, I'll do the singer there. Me, my instrument, it is there. Not here (shows her breasts), nor there also (watch his butt), but there (neck). Is that possible, you do not know ... but I wonder ... Is that really leave us alone. I step on the scene, Good evening ... Those who do not know me wonder what I'm doing here. This is normal, my tool does not see, that's why ... No flute in hand, sitting at the piano ... Not Lea head down. She knows she can not stop Fred. Musicians, more and more attention to what she said, exchanging looks surprised, they slow their game before stopping completely.
Fred It is where the bomb before singing. Miss, your voice is beautiful. You have the right to be there, I too have the right to be there, besides, I do not need much ... just the base, next to nothing ... You could send a square thing and wicked? Please (addressing the drummer). In his last words, the pianist and bassist left the stage and Fred starts singing one of his compositions: "Save my soul". Drummer arose gradually over the song Fred which leads to a complete silence in the bar. After a few verses admirably begun, Fred stopped his song and net without allowing time for the public to respond, she left the stage and out of the bar.
2. In the street - Outdoor / night Fred walks with a very determined along a busy street. She headed straight. Lea follows behind.
Lea Fred! ... Fred! wait ... Fred slackened his pace without looking back. Lea arrives at his level. Lea What the speech. Want to get everyone back, right? This is not true, we said we spent a quiet evening. Why have you insulted everyone, what have you been? ... Stop, shit! Fred I'm drunk, okay? It's my birthday, shit! but you see I'm not even in it. Lea Yes, what's the problem!? Fred For now, you are my problem. Your compassion and kindness I fuck the blues! Fred realizes the cruelty of his words. Leah is mouth B. Fred sits on a step and held his head between his hands.
Fred excuse me Leah. I think not what I say, you know it. Leah sits down beside her. Lea is not serious. Come on, we will discuss in a calm, come ... Fred gets up nervously, she looks like a fury right and left. It relies on the wall opposite, is recovering and is talking to itself.
Fred And then shit! I am not there. Lea You make an anxiety attack is not serious. Come with me, it will get better, you'll see. Fred Lea releases rather violently and cried on the face. Fred Let me go! I do not want to calm myself, I do not want to come with you ... do you know that I want to understand what is happening to me? Easy ... Yes, I'll settle, I will calm down when I just want to fart all! ... You think we can all understand, any reason? Lea I reckon not. I'm just ... Fred No. I do not need this, not tonight.

They all seem terribly lonely and poorly developed. She tries to catch his eye to his neighbor, a young man just as drunk as she.

She discovers she is not alone. Curious, she looks on the faces of the stranger who shares his bed.
Before opening the door, she picks up a sweater she puts on without noticing it only covers half his chest and his belly. Leah without being invited, returned inside the studio. His gaze rests directly on the bed.
Lea I understand why you got your curly phone ... Fred, his head still in the fog did not seem to understand the words of Leah. She glances toward the bed and looks like a sleepwalker Lea. She realizes suddenly that she is half naked and drops into a chair and burst out laughing sincere. Lea bursts out laughing in his turn.
Fred That this is called a true day of celebration ... Their laughter awakens the young man hitherto sleepy. He looks incredulous, the two women who can not stop laughing.

The first surprise, and bent the ear is still red hot, straightens a bit embarrassed. Fred still does not really understand what is happening. Without a word, she goes to a phone on the wall opposite his room and picks up the handset. She looks at Lynn who leans against a wall and slowly lowers his head, a little ashamed. However, it can not help but look inside the room.

Lynn Because I'm finally free to enjoy myself. It is an old dream I have. I have in me for years and then I want to do ... You do not feed during the night ... the night when it's dark ... Fred Er ... no, not really. Lynn Ha, too bad. I would rather sing the night. But I must learn first ... you're a good teacher? Fred Can you tell me tu. It's simpler. Lynn I can come watch one of your courses? to see how it password. I mean ... I have no idea ... do you mind, right? Fred Nobody asked me this before, so ... You'd rather not see it when it starts.

Fred I'm not here tomorrow Lynn after tomorrow, then. Fred (who transfers without really understanding why) is next week if you want, like today. Lynn gets up suddenly. She is very happy to have won the favor. Lynn I'll be there. Lynn left the cafeteria without looking back. Fred followed her gaze without moving from his chair. She pulled herself together as if to get rid of a troublesome thought and left the cafeteria.
11. Rehearsal room - Interior / Day In a small room with a low ceiling and intimate and warm, sit around a coffee table Fred and two other young women, Stephanie and Parissa. They sing songs as if to warm up the voice. In the middle of two windows overlooking a forest, sits an upright piano. Lea enters the rehearsal room, a big smile to the lips. She sits on the floor.
Lea Hi girls. At the time, as always ... But I'll be forgiven quickly, I know ... listen that, somewhat. I heard a broadcast last night on the radio about a woman who came to the presidency of Afghanistan. Her name Massouda Jalal. I found it very touching and really brave! Well, she obviously has not been elected, and he was asked why she thought she had a chance, Massouda moreover, that means lucky in Arabic. And she said that it is by what she had clean hands ... Parissa What you got in your hands, there ... Lea I come, I come here ... I had the idea of a musical phrase in mind this incredible story and I wrote it, with 2, 3 stuff. I'd like to submit that, I do not know, it tells you ...? Fred A piece of a woman, written by a woman for a woman, sung by four women ... Lea Everything remains to be done. I just have a basic sentence ... It starts with the 4 stroke and I have an idea for the follow-on 5 times, finally, it will be a bit oriental, but ... I will sing. Leah sounded his tune and found his note, after which she begins to sing. Stephanie It measures 3 by 4 time and 1 part 2 stroke ... Lea Exactly. That would be the intro is a bit twisted ... because of his sharp, but It's fa's F sharp F sharp ... the Fred We try to sing in unison? After singing in unison, some details of one or the other on the musical content of this sentence. Lea adds a few key words in the sentence that she uses for each and harmonization settles itself after a short rehearsal. Gradually, they try all options and arrive at four distinct voices ask finely and gradually enrich the basic sentence. The most interesting ideas in this creation that becomes a collective are transcribed on partitions.
12. In the street - Outdoor / Day At the end of their repetition, Fred and Leah walking nonchalantly on a busy street. A brief discussion between them on a concert in preparation and financial aspects unsatisfactory.
Fred should not accept this concert ... We will not get away forever if you do not learn to get paid just right ... Lea It's too late , one is forced to do now that we committed. Fred you think ...? and if we cancel? It would make them think ... maybe Lea Nothing, they will find another group that they will also underpay and I assure them they will be the evening, with or without us. Fred That's correct the problem ... At the same time, if we want: we know that they will follow it. We still own a small audience, right? Lea Go, they are people who like us, it's true. And just for them, we should not cancel. 13. Lynn Apartment - Interior / day For only decoration in this room almost pitch black, a huge map of the world map, pasted on a wall. A single bed, crammed full of boxes in a corner, turned the tables against the wall and a long shelf lined with a small collection of musical boxes. Lynn is standing in front of the shelf and look carefully its boxes. She seizes it inspects all angles before putting it in his bag. She accompanies her gestures, humming softly a little tune familiar. He caught it while listening through the door of the classroom Fred.
14. Classroom - Interior / day A. Fred Lynn and student are in the classroom. Lynn sits a little back and closely follows the course that Fred gives his pupil. This is a warm voice and the technical preparation required before the start of each course. Fred is physically close to his pupil. She touches parts of her body as the abdomen, chest, spine, neck ... to illustrate his point and better convey its explanations. Lynn increasingly intrigued by this tactile dimension offered her voice lessons, can not hide his deep emotion. She does not hesitate to get up at some point to get a better angle on both body trying to understand this through sign language, breathing and body posture.
At the end of the course, Lynn can not help expressing his enthusiasm and deep interest in its courses. She goes out of his bag music box and offers. Fred, very surprised by this gesture, do not know how to interpret it. Confused, she refuses the music box.
Lynn is offended. She takes the box and said nothing. Fred is so out of whack with the frank and sincere expression of Lynn that she is quick to pick up his affairs to leave this place very quickly, away from Lynn.
Fred
See you next week for your course. I gotta go there I have a appointment. Goodbye!
Without waiting for an answer, it disappears from the classroom, leaving Lynn herself in disbelief. She looks disappointed with his music box before making it sound on the piano.
B. is the first singing lessons from Lynn. A presentation between Fred and to define the direction of the course to give tests and exercises that Fred Lynn did make taking care not too near her. It is a bit anxious and cut short all the words out of the money that Lynn can hold. This does not prevent mental wanderings of the latter. Fred and protects them at the same time lets himself through the beauty and depth of the universe that Lynn seemed despite her increasingly attractive.
15. Corridor vault - Indoor / Night A crowd of people waiting outside the closed door of the vault. One sees a poster pasted on the door with the faces of the four singers in rehearsal earlier. Their group called "The Sorcerer" and they give a concert this evening. Lynn tries to clear a path through the crowd. Some complain of its base. She is indifferent to the remarks and continues to go ahead of her. She finally arrives at the door of the vault room and looks with a slight smile the concert poster.
16. Backstage vault - Interior / night Behind the scenes of the scene, Leah and Fred are sitting down and talking together, while others are working to warm their voices to the microphone.
Fred I rarely troubled at this point. I told myself that if I did not leave the room immediately, it would happen to me something ... A moment I really felt like falling back into childhood, when she hands me this music box like that ... It's crazy, I do not know how to explain this strange thing ... Lea is pretty good, right? It does not feel that every day, anyway. Fred It touches me in places so unusual. This woman, I saw him only twice, I do not know no, I do not know who it is ... but .... It's nothing physical, I can not say it appeals to me ... Lea No? Fred Ben, no! not at all, it does not attract me physically, no. Lea Hey! it's not me who talked about physical attraction ... Fred I assure you it is not at all to that level ... Lea Nobody says otherwise, you're the only one to mention this. Lea gets up, takes a look around the room and was surprised to discover that it is already full to bursting. Fred has not budged. She meditates on the last words of Leah. This wakes her by reminding her that it's almost the big moment.
17. Onstage vault - Interior / night The Wyvern appear on stage to the applause of a very warm and enthusiastic audience. They sing five songs including the one they worked at their rehearsal. They give off a radiant and sincerity and an emotion that leaves the public almost silent.
Lynn sits in a corner, discreetly, unnoticed by Fred, she listens with delight.
18. Fred studio - Interior / day is the day after the concert. Fred is at home, sitting at his keyboard trying to write some musical phrases. She hangs a partition wall and heard ringing at his door. Before opening, she won the partition and tear into pieces before throwing it down. She is anxious, covered with a slightly dark energy.
It opens the door to his studio. Michael appears with his guitar on his shoulder. She tries to smile.
Hi Fred. Between ... Michel I bothering you? Fred you, ever. As they advance toward the center of the room. Michel I
something important to say. I'll stop singing lessons for some time ... Fred Really? Going somewhere? Michel sits on a sofa. It looks a little embarrassed. While he tries to explain the reasons for his decision, he emerges from his tote his guitar and some guitar strings. Michel I learned a lot with you her 5 months, you gave me a lot equipment. and there, I need to stop a little to work alone, finally, you see ... to put into practice all that. In addition, I want to write new things. In fact, I must find myself a little, whatever. Fred I understand this is normal. Do not worry, I find it very I assure you. Michel You do not look very well, you. Fred Ca va, ca va. And I have not said I have a new student for 2 weeks. Fred away from Michael, who now plays some chords. She enters her kitchen and fail. Since few seconds, she already holds her tears.
Michel Ah yes. Cool! It goes well? Fred Yes, yes. Her name is Lynn and she is very ... very beautiful. (Inner voice like talking to herself): She scares me sometimes because ... because it's not like everyone. I think it because it is all that prevents us from being. I refused ... I understand a thing from happening to me. I do not know ... Fred crying silently and hears the voice of Michael singing accompanied by his guitar. Her tears became sobs and suddenly, it bites an incomprehensible rage and throws down a pile of dishes laid on her small kitchen table. She glides to the ground and burst into tears. Michel after hearing the sound of breaking, goes to the kitchen without dropping his guitar. He is standing in the doorway and watch Fred, looking surprised. He does not know what to do.
Fred is nothing ... Keep playing, go ahead, do it for me, please ... 19. Classroom - Interior / day Lynn is ahead for her second course. It's 100 steps down the hall and decided at some point to go quietly into the classroom where Fred teaches a course to another student.
Astonished, Fred does not react. She takes a quick look and try to ignore to complete its course. His pupil is a beautiful young black woman with whom she has a relationship of complicity apparent. Lynn, surprised by the report that there are between them, begins to feel a twinge of heart. It is still violence and sitting watching them from afar. This does not last long. Fred feels exactly the beginning of the malaise of Lynn. It gets up and slowly approached them and suddenly she turns around and leaves the room by pushing the pace and without looking back. Fred knows it will not return to its course.
20. In the Street - Exterior / day Fred release of his latest course a bit concerned about this incident with Lynn, walking for a while now. Suddenly, she feels that someone is following her. She turns a few times, just to reassure, but sees no one. After a while she Lynn sees a few yards behind her. This significantly slows the pace and looks away. First, Fred decides to go his way and not do if this story, but changed his mind very quickly and goes to meet Lynn. Surprise, it stops trying to net and catch his eye somewhere.
Fred Hi ... Are you following me? Lynn Me? not, why. I saw you from afar ... and you walked me, so I walked and I wondered where you went, you go where? Finally, perhaps we walk in the same direction ... Fred Maybe, yes. But anyway I feel that you got and I do not like it at all. Lynn No ... I do not follow you, I assure you. Fred You're right. It's a chance that you're behind me ... Lynn No. .. well, yes, but is there really coincidences? I think not ... dialogue continues between the two women and Fred increasingly impatient, becomes aggressive while Lynn says very clearly his attraction for her.
Fred in his nervousness trafficking selfish. She says she does not care what she thinks of royally. It launched its something like that, she does not care if she is ready to hear it or not, she is outraged, she is on her ass! Lynn is troubled by the reaction of Lynn. It has a desolate air and wants to repair his fault, but she can no longer pronounce any word. Fred is no longer against Lynn and the plant in the middle of the street. She goes into the first store opened
Lynn does not let go of the gaze. She sees her enter the store and pushed by a force incomprehensible, it also comes in the store that is other than a movie rental store.
21. Store movie rental - Interior / day Fred gaze fixed on the DVD spread over one of the many store shelves. She feels the presence of Lynn, but dare not do anything. It does not let go of the gaze. She slowly approaches her and tries to tell him something.
Lynn I apologize for being like that, I do not want to bother you .... Fred finally lifts the eye and when it lands on Lynn, she no longer resist the urge to throw himself on her and kiss her passionately, driven by a desire she can no longer contain.
22. Lynn Apartment - Interior / day Lynn returns to his apartment behind a huge plant. She likes to place and move from one place to another. It represents for her a certain embellishment for its interior. It is in very good spirits and already heard humming tunes during the concert plants.
23. Lynn Apartment - Interior / day Standing at her window, Lynn awaits the arrival of Fred. On its face, reads a little anxiety.
Fred between the first in the room, followed by Lynn, who looks thrilled to receive it. Fred is tense. She argues with not a little hesitant.
Fred You've just moved, it's new room? Lynn it's been a year since I live here. You're the second person to enter this room. Fred which was before me? Lynn My mother. It brings me to whenever things, furniture, stuff to decorate ... The last time she brought me a small round table and two chairs, but when it's dark, everything is disappearing. The objects are sucked into the ground. That night, she tolerates nothing when it happens, it changes everything, it keeps just the basics ... The other day I found a nice plant that I asked and then I do not know it ... ... Fred That night, she sucked ... Lynn I'm not crazy, do not worry. It's just that for a while, I decided to detach myself from many things. It would have been stupid not to listen, right? That's when I decided to do what pleases me, giving me time to appreciate things, you know what I mean? Fred Yes, exactly ... lynn I do not know when it will stop, but I do not care a bit ... it resembles what your home. Fred My Home? bin, a large brothel. Lynn Really? and you're well into your mess? Fred I've never asked the question. I work at home so I can not see what's around so it's very utilitarian, in fact, nothing else. I have no particular attachment to my studio. It's not that big, I feel good. Lynn I'm glad you came ... Fred approaches the shelf full of musical boxes. Fred Which one did you want to give me another time? Lynn I ... I never saw him. It does not matter, you do not want ... Fred I can pick one now? randomly. You tell me after if I can get it or not. Lynn For me, they all have a value or a story. But I'm so objects moving Fred this, Tell a little, she is from where, what's his story? Lynn It does not. Anyway, I know. Fred but it comes from somewhere, right? Lynn I found a bistro table. Nobody wanted it. I kept it. She may be waiting to make it one of history. Fred I can not believe I'm falling on this box, it's crazy! approached Fred and Lynn begins in front of her. She removes her hands the music box. Lynn You do not want to put you at ease? Fred I'm comfortable. Fred Lynn removes her shoes. It looks very fondly. Lynn What do you feel when you sing? Fred It's like we lit two candles on the soles of my feet ... and after it goes up, it goes all down my body under my skin and leaves it there (By mouth). There's all my rage, my sadness and joy that come after ... It's ... Lynn It suits you well ... your rage Fred your rage And you, worry 've done what? Lynn I do not know ... I think I no longer need. I had to turn it into something else or so I've row somewhere in any case, it serves me more ... responds to Fred Lynn, stroking her legs. Fred invites him to stand up and undress before undressing herself. They hug and kiss before you lie down and discover each other in their nakedness.
They are lying face down next to one another, a serene silence around them. END.
