# VOICE SHEET: MARIE AND HUNTER'S DIALOGUE **INT. CAFFE NAPOLEON - DAY** *MARIE sits alone at a table, cradling her camera with gentle hands. She stares intently at the screen, her brow furrowed in concentration. The café is bustling with morning patrons. HUNTER walks in purposefully, scanning the room. His eyes land on Marie at her corner table. He approaches, towering over her slightly.* **HUNTER** (Serious tone) Excuse me. I'm Detective Hunter. Could I ask you a few questions? *Marie looks up from her camera, startled. She catches sight of Hunter's serious expression and the badge he shows her. Her eyes widen slightly, then her brow furrows in confusion.* **MARIE** *(In French, concerned)* Quoi? Je ne comprends pas. **HUNTER** *(Slightly frustrated, then realizing)* Right, sorry. Tet's try again. *Hunter repeats the same question, slower but still in English. Marie shakes her head, still not understanding. She gestures helplessly with her hands, then points to her camera.* **MARIE** *(In French, gesturing)* J'ai la photo, mais je ne connais pas l'anglais. **HUNTER** *(Patiently)* Look, I understand you want to help, but I need to know what you saw yesterday around the town square. There was an incident. **MARIE** *(In French, getting agitated)* Town square? L'incident? Je ne sais pas. J'ai vu le temps πρώτη. Le ciel était gris. J'essayais de prendre une photo du vieux bâtiment. **HUNTER** *(Trying a different approach)* At what time did you see the commotion? Can you point it out on your camera again? *Marie cautiously shows him a photo she took. She points to a figure in the background, partially obscured. Hunter leans in, squinting at the small screen.* **MARIE** *(In French, troubled)* Est-ce que je peux partir? Je suis en retard pour mon cours. **HUNTER** *(Concerned now)* I need you to be more specific, miss. This investigation is urgent. Can you describe the person you saw? **MARIE** *(In French, shaken and troubled)* Je ne sais pas. Je ne veux pas parler plus. J'ai peur maintenant. **HUNTER** *(Detecting her fear)* Okay, I need your name then. How can I reach you if I have more questions? **MARIE** *(Reluctantly, then in French)* Marie. Mon nom est Marie. Je suis étudiante. En France. *Hunter pulls out his notepad and writes down "Marie - French student" in large letters. His phone rings sharply. He glances at it, then back at Marie with a look of apology and determination.* **HUNTER** Listen, I need to take this. But we need to talk more. I'll be back. Stay in town. *Marie nods slightly, looking down at her camera again. Hunter is already walking away as he takes the call.* **HUNTER** (O.S.) Hunter here. Yes, I've got a potential witness. A French student who may have seen something near the square. *Marie continues to stare at her camera, but this time her eyes are unfocused, lost in thought and fear. The bustle of the café continues around her, oblivious to their tense exchange.*
