**Voice Sheet: Dialogue Between Isabella and Hunter** **Setting:** A quaint café in Alborn, MN. The scent of freshly brewed coffee fills the air. Isabella sits at a corner table, her camera in hand, reviewing her photographs. Hunter enters, scanning the room, and spots Isabella. --- **Hunter:** (approaching Isabella's table) Excuse me, miss. Do you mind if I ask you a few questions? **Isabella:** (looking up, startled) ... (in Italian) Mi scusi? Non capisco. **Hunter:** (frowning) I'm sorry, I don't speak Italian. (pulls out a notepad) Do you understand English at all? **Isabella:** (shaking her head) No, no parlo inglese. (gesturing to her camera) Fotografie. **Hunter:** (nodding) Right, you're a photographer. (points to her camera) You take pictures around town? **Isabella:** (nodding) Sì, sì. (points to her camera) Bella, no? **Hunter:** (glancing at the camera screen) Yeah, they're nice. (leans in slightly) Have you seen anything unusual around town lately? Anything that seemed out of place? **Isabella:** (eyes widening) Sì... (hesitates, then speaks rapidly in Italian) Ieri sera, ho visto qualcosa di strano. C'era un uomo vicino al bosco. Sembrava... (searches for words) spaventato? (shakes her head) No, no. (points to her chest) Io... (points to Hunter) tu... (mimics running away) scappare. **Hunter:** (frowning) You saw a man near the woods last night? He looked scared? Like he was running away? **Isabella:** (nodding vigorously) Sì, sì! (points to Hunter) Tu... (mimics calling on a phone) telefono. **Hunter:** (nodding) You want me to call someone? The police? **Isabella:** (nodding) Sì, polizia. (points to herself) Io... (mimics being scared) spaventata. **Hunter:** (nodding) You're scared. It's okay. (pulls out his badge) I'm a detective. I'm here to help. (points to the man) Can you describe him? Tall, short? What was he wearing? **Isabella:** (thinking) Alto... (gestures about Hunter's height) così. (points to her head) Capelli... (mimics short hair) corti. (points to her clothes) Vestito... (mimics zipping up a jacket) giacca. **Hunter:** (nodding) Tall, short hair, wearing a jacket. Got it. (pulls out his notepad) Anything else? Did you see where he went? **Isabella:** (shaking her head) No... (points to the woods) bosco. (mimics running away) scappare. **Hunter:** (nodding) He ran into the woods. (puts away his notepad) Thank you. You've been very helpful. (pulls out a business card) Here's my card. If you see anything else, or if you remember more, please call me. **Isabella:** (taking the card) Grazie. (points to the card) Tu... (mimics calling on a phone) telefono. **Hunter:** (nodding) Yes, call me. (stands up) I have to go now. (points to her camera) Keep taking pictures. You might see something important. **Isabella:** (nodding) Sì, sì. (smiles slightly) Grazie. **Hunter:** (nodding) You're welcome. (turns to leave, then stops) Oh, one more thing. (pulls out a pen and paper, writes down) This is how you say 'detective' in Italian: detective. (points to himself) Io sono un detective. **Isabella:** (smiling) Detective. (points to Hunter) Tu sei un detective. **Hunter:** (smiling slightly) Yes. (turns to leave, then his phone rings) Excuse me. (answers the phone) Detective Hunter speaking. (listens, then looks at Isabella) I have to go. (points to the phone) Important call. (walks away, talking on the phone) **Isabella:** (watching Hunter leave, then looks down at her camera, troubled) --- **End of Scene**
