Here is the scene with the dialogue in a voice sheet format: **Scene: "A Troubling Encounter at the Cafe"** **Setting:** A cozy cafe in the heart of Alborn, MN. The sound of gentle chatter and espresso machines fills the air. Maria sits at a small table by the window, her camera in front of her. **Action:** Maria gazes at her camera, her brow furrowed in concern. Hunter, sipping on a coffee, approaches her table. **Voice Sheet:** | **Character** | **Dialogue** | | --- | --- | | **Hunter** | Excuse me, mind if I join you for a sec? I'm Detective Hunter. I'm investigating some incidents in town. Did you happen to witness anything unusual during the apple festival last night? | | **Maria** | (looks up, troubled) *Lo que pasó anoche fue terrible... Mi amigo y yo estábamos tomando fotos cerca del escenario, y luego... luego desapareció. No entiendo qué pudo haber sucedido.* (shakes her head, visibly shaken) | | **Hunter** | (confused, squints) I... sorry, can you repeat that? I didn't quite catch what you said. (pauses, hoping for clarification) Do you speak... English at all? | | **Maria** | (nervously chops her hands, trying to convey her distress) *¡Mi amigo! *señala con la mano, como si estuviera indicando una desaparición en el aire*... *No sé...* (trails off, frustrated by the language barrier) | | **Hunter** | (sympathetic, but perplexed) Okay, okay... I think we have a bit of a language issue here. (pulls out a notebook) Can you... (draws a simple picture of a person and a question mark)...tell me about your friend? (points to the drawing) | | **Maria** | (sighs, tries to use gestures and simple drawings to explain, pointing to her camera) *Fotografías... Él estaba aquí...* (mimics taking a photo, then snaps her fingers to indicate disappearance) | | **Hunter** | (nods, taking notes, though clearly unsure what to make of the information) I... think I'll need to get a translator to speak with you further. (just as he's about to ask more questions, his phone rings) Ah, excuse me. (answers phone) Detective Hunter... (listens, then stands up) I have to run. (hands Maria a business card) If you could come down to the station later, we'll have someone to help us communicate. | | **Maria** | (nods, still looking troubled, and takes the card) *Sí... Gracias.* (watches as Hunter hurries out of the cafe) |
