# Voice Sheet: Cafe Scene **Melanie:** *[looking at camera, muttering to herself]* "Was habe ich da fotografiert? Das kann nicht sein..." **Hunter:** "Excuse me, miss. I'm Detective Hunter. Mind if I ask you a few questions?" **Melanie:** *[looks up, startled]* "Oh! Äh... ja?" **Hunter:** "I'm investigating the disappearances in town. Were you near the old mill yesterday evening around six?" **Melanie:** *[visibly shaken]* "Die Mühle? Ja, ja, ich war dort! Ich habe... Gott, ich habe etwas Schreckliches gesehen!" **Hunter:** *[confused]* "I... what? Do you speak English?" **Melanie:** *[frantically scrolling through her camera]* "Hier, schauen Sie! In den Fotos! Der Mann... er ist einfach verschwunden!" **Hunter:** "Ma'am, I don't understand what you're saying. English?" **Melanie:** *[frustrated, pointing at camera]* "Fotos! Fotos! Sehen Sie!" **Hunter:** *[leaning in to look at camera]* "These are photos of the mill. Is this what you're trying to show me?" **Melanie:** *[nodding vigorously]* "Ja, ja! Die Mühle! Der Mann!" **Hunter:** "There's a man in these photos... and then he's gone in the next one. How much time between these shots?" **Melanie:** *[holding up fingers]* "Zwei... äh..." *[struggling]* "Sekunden?" **Hunter:** "Seconds? Two seconds?" *[pulls out notebook]* "Okay, we're getting somewhere." **Melanie:** *[calmer now, but still troubled]* "Ich verstehe nicht, was passiert ist. Es war so schnell..." **Hunter:** *[looking at photos more carefully]* "Do you live here? Local?" **Melanie:** *[shaking head]* "Nein, nein. Deutschland. Studentin." **Hunter:** "Germany? You're German? That explains it." *[sighs]* "This is going to be difficult." **Melanie:** *[attempting]* "Ger-ma-ny, ja." **Hunter:** "Can I take a copy of these photos? The pictures?" *[gestures at camera]* **Melanie:** *[hesitant]* "Meine Fotos? Ich... ich weiß nicht..." **Hunter:** *[phone rings]* "Hold on." *[answers]* "Hunter here. What? Another one? Where? ... I'll be right there." **Hunter:** *[to Melanie]* "I have to go. Another incident. Can you stay in town? Here?" *[gestures around]* "Don't leave Alborn." **Melanie:** *[confused]* "Was? Ich verstehe nicht..." **Hunter:** *[hands her his card]* "Call me. Telephone." *[mimes phone gesture]* "We need to talk more. I'll find a translator." **Melanie:** *[taking card, reading]* "Hunter... Detective..." **Hunter:** "Stay safe, miss." *[turns to leave, then back]* "And keep that camera close." **Melanie:** *[quietly, as he walks away]* "Was ist nur los in dieser Stadt?"
