# Voice Sheet — Cafe Scene **Marie:** *(murmuring to herself, scrolling through photos on her camera)* "Il était là... juste là, hier soir..." **Hunter:** *(approaching her table)* "Excuse me, miss? I'm Detective Hunter with the Alborn Police. Mind if I ask you a few questions?" **Marie:** *(startled, looking up)* "Oh... je... pardon, je ne comprends pas." **Hunter:** "I'm investigating the recent disappearance that happened near the orchard. I heard you were in the area two nights ago." **Marie:** *(eyes widening, hand trembling on her camera)* "Mon Dieu... l'homme dans les pommeraies. Il... il a vu quelque chose. J'ai vu quelque chose. C'était terrifiant." **Hunter:** *(frowning)* "Ma'am, I'm sorry, I don't understand. Do you speak English at all?" **Marie:** *(shaking her head, gesturing frantically)* "Non, non anglais. Je suis française. S'il vous plaît... il y avait un homme, dans l'ombre. Il a disparu. Comme les autres." *(she turns her camera toward him, pointing at the screen)* "Regardez! La photo! Là!" **Hunter:** *(leaning in to look at the camera screen)* "Is this... a photo of the orchard? At night? Who is that figure in the background?" **Marie:** *(nodding vigorously)* "Oui! Oui! L'homme! Il était là, et puis... *pouf*... plus rien. Je ne l'ai jamais vu partir." **Hunter:** "I wish I could understand you. This photo could be important." *(pulling out his phone, opening a translation app)* "Hold on. Let me try something." **Marie:** *(wringing her hands)* "J'avais tellement peur. Je suis rentrée à mon hôtel en courant. Je n'ai pas dormi depuis." **Hunter:** *(typing into his phone, then showing her the screen which reads: "Can you show me more photos?")* **Marie:** *(reading slowly, then nodding)* "Oui, j'ai d'autres photos. Beaucoup. Mais celle-ci... celle-ci est la plus importante." *(swipes through several photos)* "Ici, ici, et ici." **Hunter:** *(studying each photo carefully)* "These timestamps are all from the same night. This is exactly when the last person went missing." *(typing again into his phone, showing her: "Did you see what happened to the person?")* **Marie:** *(reading, then her face crumbling)* "Non... je n'ai vu que l'homme dans l'ombre. Il regardait. Il attendait. Et puis j'ai couru." *(she wipes a tear)* "Pardon. Je suis désolée. J'aurais dû rester. J'aurais dû aider." **Hunter:** *(softening slightly, reading his phone translation)* "You have nothing to apologize for. These photos might be exactly what we need." *(his phone rings)* "Hold on. Detective Hunter." *(answering)* "What? ...When? ...I'm on my way." **Marie:** *(watching him, anxious)* "Qu'est-ce qui se passe? Quelque chose de mal?" **Hunter:** *(standing up, grabbing his jacket)* "Ma'am — Marie — I need you to stay in town. Don't delete any of those photos. Can you understand 'stay'?" **Marie:** *(tilting her head)* "Stay? Rester?" **Hunter:** "Yes. Stay. Rester. I'll be back with someone who speaks French. Don't leave this cafe." **Marie:** *(nodding slowly)* "Je reste. Je resterai ici. Mais s'il vous plaît... faites vite. J'ai peur." **Hunter:** *(pausing, then nodding firmly)* "I will. Stay safe." *(he turns and heads for the door at a brisk pace, phone already to his ear)*
