Here is the scene with the dialogue in a voice sheet format: **Scene: "A Troubling Encounter at the Cafe"** Marie sat sipping her coffee at a quaint cafe in the heart of Alborn, MN, her eyes fixed on her camera's LCD screen as she reviewed her latest landscape photography shots. The warm glow of the afternoon sun streaming through the window highlighted her concerned expression. Suddenly, a tall, imposing figure emerged from the crowd outside and approached her table. **Voice Sheet:** | **Character** | **Dialogue** | | --- | --- | | **Hunter** | Excuse me, miss. Mind if I join you for a quick question? I'm Detective Hunter, investigating some recent... disturbances in town. Did you happen to witness anything unusual around the apple festival grounds last night? | | **Marie** | (looking up, troubled and shaken) _Oh mon dieu, oui... J'ai vu quelque chose de très étrange. Il y avait une personne qui est partie vers les vergers, mais je ne l'ai jamais revue. J'ai trouvé ça très inquiétant..._ (Oh my god, yes... I saw something very strange. There was a person who headed towards the orchards, but I never saw them again. I found it very unsettling...) | | **Hunter** | (confused, furrowing his brow) I'm sorry, miss... Could you please speak in English? I didn't quite catch what you said. | | **Marie** | (realizing the language barrier, becoming more distressed) _Anglais? Non, désolée... Je ne parle pas anglais..._ (English? No, sorry... I don't speak English...) | | **Hunter** | (pulling out a small notebook) Okay, no worries. This might take a bit longer then. (to himself, scribbling in the notebook) French... Need a translator... (back to Marie) Can you... (makes a writing motion) write down what you saw? Maybe we can find a way to communicate. | | **Marie** | (nods, taking the notebook and begins to write in French, her hand shaking slightly) | | **Hunter** | (watching her write, then glancing at his watch) Ah, (into his phone, which had just started ringing) Excuse me, miss. (answers the call) Detective Hunter... (pauses, listens, and stands up) I'm sorry, I really need to take this. (to Marie) If you'll excuse me, I'll... (makes a gesture indicating he'll find a way to follow up) | | **Marie** | (concerned, calling after him in French) _Attendez! Comment puis-je vous aider?_ (Wait! How can I help you?) | | **Hunter** | (already walking away, not understanding) Sorry, miss! (into his phone, continuing the conversation as he exits the cafe)
