- 2. --I should warn you I am not like the rest-- INT. ALLIANCE'S PLACE / BEDROOM - MORNING1 1 Sitting at a make up desk is a twenty something, female, college student and aspiring performer. Meet ALLIANCE ALLBRIGHT. Positive. Promising. Pleasant. Alliance applies the last touches of her make up. She then looks at her self in the mirror. She inhales deeply then says-- ALLIANCE --You can do this. Alliance smiles at her reflection one last time as we-- FADE TO: INT. BLACK CROW COFFEE / TABLE IN THE CORNER - MORNING2-R 2-R --Alliance sitting at a table, alone, drinking coffee in the corner. Something outside catches her eye and her smile spreads as wide as physically possible. The DOOR OPENS and in walks a twenty something, male, college student and aspiring entrepreneur-- Meet MIKA MUNROE. Complementary. Contributory. Constructive. Alliance smiles as Mika approaches. Mika, once he reaches her table, leans down and kisses Alliance then takes the seat across from her. MIKA For me? He motions to a second cup of coffee on the table. ALLIANCE No. Sorry it's for my boyfriend. Actually it's best you get a move on. He's ugh, he's immensely protective of me. Jason Jason Jason Jason Sihler Sihler Sihler Sihler
- 3. MIKA Well having seen your smile and now having experienced the intoxication severity of your parted lips, (beat) I'm sure he would understand my infatuation. Alliance smiles wider with a laugh. ALLIANCE How was your evening? MIKA Well, (Beat) once I was asleep, fine. A bit, ugh, nervous about my scene today. ALLIANCE What! Why? MIKA I'm not you, babe. I can't, I cant morph quite so easily. The way you disappear every time is, is (Beat) I don't know. It’s not within me. I look at what you do, what you are capable of and... I think to myself, “Wow”. (Beat) Both getting into and connecting to character is rather difficult for me and this scene requires a great deal from me on a level I don't believe I am equipped, nor ready for. ALLIANCE You got this. Just think about how mad I can make you. Mika smiles then stretches out his hand, open on the table. Alliance smiles then takes his hand as we-- FADE TO: INT. ECKERD COLLEGE / ACTING CLASS - DAY3-A 3-A --Alliance and KINLEY, another female acting student are performing a scene on stage while PROFESSOR STANIS and the rest of the class watch. Mika is in the audience/class. 2. Jason Jason Jason Jason Sihler Sihler Sihler Sihler
- 4. Alliance sits on a cushion while Kinley paces, upstage of her. KINLEY Well! I sure hope you've, like, cooked up another brilliantly elaborate excuse for abandoning me, yet again. This time not coming in literally one of the worst moments of like, my entire life! ALLIANCE Listen Linda-- KINLEY --No! You listen, you inconsiderate witch! ALLIANCE Please, I have something I need to tell-- KINLEY (CONT'D) --No! Like, It's always something with you. Like always. Like "Sorry I'm doing this" or "Sorry I'm doing that" and, like, lately it's all conveniently been for Mom. Plus-- DISSOLVE TO: INT. ECKERD COLLEGE / ACTING CLASS - MOMENTS LATER3-B 3-B Now Mika is on stage and performing a scene with FAWNA, another female acting student. Alliance is in the audience/class. Fawna is seated on stage and Mika is pacing upstage. MIKA How dare you! I mean how dare you? With Tom! My best, (Beat) Nope! Pardon me, my ex best friend! My love, my feelings for you were all sincere and unconditional! And you threw them back at me! In the face! Like fruit at the end of a bad play. FAWNA Baby! Please don't blame me. I, I was drunk. 3. Jason Jason Jason Jason Sihler Sihler Sihler Sihler
- 5. MIKA Drunk! Oh! You were drunk! Oh well, I am so sorry! How selfish of me! All is forgiven! (Beat) So, Tom is to blame is that what you are articulating? Tom is the one to blame? FAWNA No! Don't blame Tom. We both love you. Blair had just broken up with him! He was, he was in a dark place and-- MIKA --Yeah! You! (Beat) How could you? How could y’all? On drill weekend none the less. (Beat) So, you were drunk, he was in a dark place and he found comfort in your-- We switch-- BACK TO: INT. ECKERD COLLEGE / ACTING CLASS - EARLIER3-C 3-C Back to Alliance's scene. KINLEY No! I have always been there! I have always been there! Always! But, you never come through for me. Not-- ALLIANCE (screams) --MOM IS DEAD! Alliance begins to cry. KINLEY What? Kinley sits beside Alliance doing her best to cry. ALLIANCE I don't know, (Beat) I don't know what happened. Her nurse that night said her vitals were fine and her doctor, earlier came in to tell me she was moving into remission. (MORE) 4. Jason Jason Jason Jason Sihler Sihler Sihler Sihler
- 6. (Beat) I fell asleep trying to charge my phone to call you. KINLEY Oh! I'm so, so sorry. I, I. Kinley tries to look more distraught like Alliance. ALLIANCE At first I thought maybe she was finally sleeping well. But she was just too still. I knew something was wrong. (Beat) That's when I grabbed her hand. Kinley wraps her arm around Alliance as we dissolve-- BACK TO: INT. ECKERD COLLEGE / ACTING CLASS - EARLIER3-D 3-D Mika and Fawna are finishing their scene. FAWNA Please baby don't hate us. We both love you. MIKA You're always hurt most by those who you are closest to. This hurts too much. I can't, I just can't. Mika runs off stage. PROFESSOR STANIS And scene! (Beat) Wonderful, absolutely wonderful job guys! Tremendous job everyone with the “sense memory exercise”! Simply splendid, sincerely. Now the only note I have for Mika is to try and reach a little further. I can tell your just barely grasping. I know you have more reach. I know it! I’ve seen you do it, when you let go and fall into character. That didn't happen today, now what you did was a rather good performance. But I can tell you were still you, you didn't release completely. If you truly let go and dive in even more you'll start to experience that “self escape” we talked about. ALLIANCE (CONT'D) (MORE) 5. Jason Jason Jason Jason Sihler Sihler Sihler Sihler
- 7. But still great job. (Beat) Now, of all of the performances today, whom do we think gave the most honest performance? EVERYONE Alliance! PROFESSOR STANIS And I would have to agree! Professor Stanis turns to look at Alliance with a smile of admiration and pride. Mika walks up to Alliance and bends down to kiss the top of her head. Alliance smiles as we-- CUT TO: INT. CASITA TAQUERIA / TABLE - AFTERNOON4-R 4-R Alliance, Mika, Kinley, and Fawna are eating lunch. FAWNA I feel like we did a good job. ALLIANCE For sure! Our entire class is pretty dang good. KINLEY Alliance though, wow. FAWNA You know it's quite unfair how easy it is for you. MIKA That's my girl. Mika wraps his arm around Alliance and presses his forehead to the side of her head. ALLIANCE What? I thought we all did a great job. But, thank you. KINLEY So Professor Stanis’s friend is going to be here tonight. PROFESSOR STANIS (CONT'D) 6. Jason Jason Jason Jason Sihler Sihler Sihler Sihler
- 8. FAWNA I know! FAWNA (CONT’D) So! Who all is going to the audition? Alliance smiles as we-- CUT TO: EXT. ECKERD COLLEGE / SOUTH BEACH PAVILION - AFTERNOON5-R 5-R Mika sits with his back against a column and his arms wrapped around Alliance, who is between his legs. Alliance is looking at a digital flyer on a iPad for auditions that evening for a traveling musical. MIKA Are you nervous? ALLIANCE No. Why should I be? MIKA Oh, I don't know. Maybe because it's a really big freaking deal! Professor Stanis said he had to pull some very powerful strings to get them to come down to Florida to audition much less St. Pete / Clearwater. ALLIANCE Yes. But he also said he's going to put in a good word for me. Also it's just another audition. I have to think of it that way. I have to. If it is meant to happen. Then it will. If not. Then it wont. MIKA Baby? This could be the one. The one that starts everything! After tonight the world could be yours. ALLIANCE I know and the hyperbolic rhetoric aside, it's just an audition. 7. Jason Jason Jason Jason Sihler Sihler Sihler Sihler
- 9. MIKA I guess I'll be nervous enough for both of us! ALLIANCE You do that! MIKA Where all will you travel? ALLIANCE Well, first I have to audition, get called back, and subsequently cast. If all of that happens then we would tour up the east cost from Atlanta all the way up to New York, Broadway for a six month leg, then a mid west tour for two months, and finally the west coast leg ending in LA after another three months. Then they are going to let it play out a full run on Broadway. MIKA And the rest is rock and roll history? ALLIANCE And the rest is rock and roll history. Alliance smiles and leans the back of her head into the nape of his neck. MIKA Are you still going to do the monologue you wrote? ALLIANCE Yep! MIKA Break a leg beautiful. I have to get to Buisness Three. ALLIANCE Okay! Have fun. MIKA You want me to skip? It’s just a lecture today. I could get notes from some one tomorrow. 8. Jason Jason Jason Jason Sihler Sihler Sihler Sihler
- 10. ALLIANCE No. Go to class, babe. Mika stands and Alliance leans back against his column. MIKA I'm sorry I can't wait with you or walk you to the audition. ALLIANCE It's okay. I'll see you when I get home. Are you still coming for dinner? MIKA I wouldn't miss it for the world. Alliance smiles as Mika walks away. Alliance closes her eyes and takes a deep breath as we-- MATCH CUT TO: INT. PALLADIUM THEATRE - EVENING6-R 6-R Alliance opens her eyes. She is at her audition and almost done with a monologue, performing on stage, before a table of people, one of which is Professor Stanis. ALLIANCE True art may be the most Undefined, immortal, amoeba of a Concept in this what we call our World. It is not only raw, organic, individually unique, and originally genuine but it encompasses all. (Beat) It is the experience we receive prior to death, and after the miracle of birth, and yet most importantly outside the confines and the restrictions of reality. The creation of True Art is a process causing a plethora of pleasure found in pain parented by your passions. At the center of it all, the heart is the story conveyed by emotion and received in the same manner also. (MORE) 9. Jason Jason Jason Jason Sihler Sihler Sihler Sihler
- 11. True art has value that is defined not by fiscal budgets or production costs but by resonation and unquantifiable heart string pulling power. True art is only achieved when the laws of time and space are replaced with ones of creativity and inspiration, when emotion replaces reason, fantasy replaces reality and this, (Beat) this perception of what "is" becomes altered and beautifully flawed by the perfection that is "story telling", all of which is revealing and alluding to what this apex of nirvana is "True Art". (Beat) Thank you. Several of the panelist clap. DIRECTOR Thank you for coming in Alliance. ALLIANCE Oh! You don't want a song? DIRECTOR No that'll be fine, thank you ma'am. Alliance smiles and nods. Professor Stanis leans over to the Director-- PROFESSOR STANIS (quietly) --she's my absolute best student. I can not recommend her enough! DIRECTOR (quietly) I'm sorry, but I just can't use her. Alliances feigns ignorance as she smiles. Professor Stanis winks and smiles at her as we-- FADE TO: INT. ALLIANCE'S PLACE / BEDROOM - EVENING7 7 Alliance sits at her makeup desk removing her makeup. ALLIANCE (CONT'D) 10. Jason Jason Jason Jason Sihler Sihler Sihler Sihler
- 12. PUSH IN: On Alliance removing her eye make up-- A TEAR ESCAPES her eye. Alliance stares at her reflection. The sound of MIKA'S VOICE is heard-- MIKA --Hello? Babe? Are you-- --Mika walks in and stops talking, instantly. Alliance looks up at Mika. Alliance tries to smile. Mika walks the rest of the way in, then up to Alliance and kneels-- Mika grabs the side of Alliance's cheek and presses his forehead to her's-- --Alliance begins to cry. Soft at first then harder and harder with a steady emotional crescendo-- Mika wraps his arms around Alliance and lovingly wrenches her up into his arms and then on the bed-- Mika sits with his back against the headboard with Alliance weeping, heavily in his arms. SOUND FADES as alliance begins to wail. Alliance curls up into Mika’s chest. Mika says nothing, he just swaddles her in his arms occasionally kissing the top of her head. Slowly we ANGLE ON: A slightly different angle REVEALING ALLIANCES WHEELCHAIR! In the spot where she was just sitting. DISSOLVE TO: INT.
