Act 5 scene 1: Todd’s office
Irene: (sit in chair in front of Todd’s desk, cross legs & run fingers through hair)
Todd: (lean back in chair and take a sip of coffee) of what age are you because there is an age limit for actors and actresses looking to work here?
Irene: I’m sixteen and attend Vexon high as a sophomore (glance at apple on Todd’s desk)
Todd: (stare at Irene & press lips together)
Irene: I’m an aspiring actress; I’ve been acting in school plays for a while
Todd: since you have experience, tell me what your goal is by asking for a spot in the cast of my plays (raise an eye brow)
Irene: (stare at Todd and tilt head)
Todd: why should I let you work for me when you just moved here six days ago?
Irene: I have a three point seven GPA and acting isn’t only my passion, it’s my life (lean forward & tuck hair behind ear)
Todd: (take a sip of coffee)
Irene: I was never what my mother wanted me to be but I’m not an actress for her, I’m an actress for me
Todd: you’re smart and passionate about the preforming arts (scratch chin, lean forward and sigh)
Irene: (press lips together)
Todd: well, the play writer will be here bright and early tomorrow morning to hand you your script
Irene: I got the job and will be in the play!?! (Smile, lean back in seat, blink slowly & run fingers through hair)
Todd: (nod)
Irene: ok, I’ll be here in your office at seven thirty tomorrow morning
Todd: actually seven o’ clock, waking up early is an important part of being an actress (stand up)
Irene: (nod, stand up and keep smiling)
Todd: be here at seven or I might change my mind
Irene: I won’t be so much as a minuet late (grab Todd’s left hand & shake it)
Todd: (nod)
Irene: (leave downtown theatre and meet Elena outside)
Elena: (lean against wall & eat apple)
Irene: I got the job!
Act 5 scene 2: on the way to Nolan’s swim meet
Irene: (pull hair into ponytail & press lips together)
Elena: (wait for traffic light to change to green)
Collin: (sit in back seat, listen to IPod and tap lightly on the window)
Irene: I’m going to be a real actress (smile)
Elena: I’m happy for you but are you sure you can keep up your GPA, work as an actress after school for five hours and date Nolan?
Irene: (frown & stare at Elena)
Elena: you both are busy and making time sounds like a lot of work
Irene: Nolan and I will find a way to be together (nod and press lips together)
Elena: (glance at Irene, notice the light turn green & drive forward)
Irene: he and I belong together so we’re going to be
Elena: you and Clause also belong together but it doesn’t mean you’re going to be
Irene: (stare out window and sigh)
Collin: (throw head back, run fingers over hair & close eyes)
Elena: look, I’m just saying that you two aren’t going to have the time for each other
Irene: I’m afraid of Clause in a different way that I’m afraid of Nolan, that’s why I left (lean head against the window)
Elena: (sigh)
Collin: (run fingers over hair and sing along with music from IPod)
Irene: Clause isn’t the only victim
Elena: fear is only in the mind when we convince ourselves to run away from something (shake head)
Irene: (raise an eye brow)
Elena: take your brother for example, Collin wants to be a werewolf and if he were I’d stay with him
Irene: it’s easier said than done to stand beside a killer and stay there
Collin: (sing off key & louder with the music from IPod)
Irene: I did what I though is the right thing
Elena: the right thing now comes down to choosing Nolan over Clause when there are hunters after both?
Irene: (close eyes and take a deep breath)
Elena: sounds like Clause is suffering the most
Irene: I care about Clause so much it hurts but I’m not sure that’s enough now
Elena: (pull into the parking lot, find a parking space, & turn off car)
Irene: (take off seat belt) for now let’s just support Nolan (open door, get out of car and close door)
Collin: (open eyes, take off seat belt & get out of car)
Elena: (take off seat belt, get out of car, lock it and hold Collin’s hand)
[Elena, Collin and Irene walk into school]
Act 5 scene 3: Todd’s office
Irene: (sit in front of Todd’s desk & eat a apple)
Todd: (take a sip of coffee, stare at Irene and flash a smile) Ramona might be late because had to unexpectedly drop her son off at his dad’s house
Irene: since we’re here why don’t you tell me what led you to become a director?
Todd: (raise an eye brow)
Irene: and do you have a family of your own, as in a wife and kids?
Todd: my two daughters Elena and Bethany are my inspiration for being here (sigh)
Irene: (run fingers through hair)
Todd: it’s what my wife Darleen would’ve wanted so I’m pleasing her though she’s no longer here
Irene: I’m sorry to hear that, I bet Darleen was a wonderful woman (stare at Todd)
Todd: (nod sadly and press lips together)
Irene: and I know Elena, she’s my friend but she never told me her mom died
Ramona: (open door & walk in) sorry I’m late, Nolan told me at the last minute to bring him to his dad’s house, teenage boys can be a pain in the butt at times
Todd: Ramona this is Irene the newest addition to the cast (stand up and politely point to Irene)
Ramona: (face Irene, smile & hold out hand)
Todd: and Irene this is Ramona the play writer who will help you with your lines (politely point to Ramona)
Ramona: we have two weeks to get the lines right which means rehearsal after school from four to nine
Irene: (stand up and shake Ramona’s hand)
Ramona: you will be meeting the cast come Monday
Irene: what’s the name of the play and what is it about, love… or something else? (Smile)
Ramona: (raise an eye brow)
Irene: what’s the storyline of the play, I’m curious
Ramona: the name of the play is “love bought with diamonds” and it’s a dramatic love story (sit down)
Todd: (sit down)
Irene: (sit down)
Ramona: it takes place in France when a mastermind criminal falls in love with a famous belly dancer
Act 5 scene 4: the beach
Irene: (smile & run fingers through hair)
Nolan: (walk up to Irene, press lips together and throw shirt in the sand) why are m here because if it’s to make Clause jealous I’d rather not be used
Irene: you’re here because I want you to be
Nolan: (step closer & tilt head)
Elena: (stare at Collin)
Collin: (stare at Elena)
Irene: I really like you and I want to be with you
Nolan: I couldn’t care less whether or not you like me (stare at Irene and put right hand on her shoulder)
Irene: (hold breath)
Nolan: truth be told I don’t like you… you’re just my lab partner
Irene: if that’s true that why did you come here to meet me? (Fold arms across chest)
Nolan: (shrug, step back & shake head)
Irene: I know you have feelings for me so why don’t you just admit it?
Collin: (face Nolan) hey Nolan, let’s get drinks
Irene: (grab Elena’s wrist, lead her to the hot dog stand, and buy two hot dogs)
Elena: (buy two sodas)
[Collin and Nolan push way to drink stand]
Irene: Nolan has to like me right? I mean I’m a likeable person (eat hot dog)
Elena: (take a sip of soda)
Irene: I like him and the feelings are getting stronger
Elena: I think you’re the love interest of both Clause and Nolan (eat hot dog & look for a place to sit)
Irene: (follow Elena)
Elena: I’m not at all jealous because I’m already falling for Collin
Irene: I don’t want to make the tough decision of choosing between them (shake head and eat hot dog)
Elena: (sit on empty beach chair & kick feet up)
Irene: breaking up with Clause is hard enough for me
Elena: Nolan isn’t a sensitive type of guy like Clause so he won’t tell you he loves you first until he trusts you (put soda in cup holder)
Irene: (eat hot dog)
Elena: there’s a reason for him not clearly expressing his feelings
Irene: (take sip of soda & put drink in cup holder of chair next to Elena’s)
Elena: (finish soda)
Nolan: (walk up to Irene)
Irene: (finish hot dog)
Nolan: you insist that I have feelings for you when I don’t (put hands on Irene’s hips, pull her closer and kiss her)
Irene: (put hands on Nolan’s shoulders)
[They make out]
~3 minutes later~
Nolan: (pull back) …I felt nothing… (Walk away)
