THE SCRIPT
my glory day's?
I’ve bumped into a stranger today and after that I’ve felt as if I’ve lost something
I kept on thinking as i enter the studio
Kelly
Do you remember this?
In her hand is the script which I
wrote a long time ago.
A story based on my first love in
high school.
Kelly
To sad it doesn’t have an ending
Kelly
A director asked weather I have an completed script but yours is not……
Sarah
* it was my dream to become a director*
Sarah
If you give me some time maybe I could complete it
Kelly
But in one condition
Kelly
You have to do a research
Kelly
Your high school crush
Sarah
I could have told her that I'll work on
other scripts.
Sarah
Or do a research in some other
way.
In one corner of my room is a box
with a lucky clover and number 18
written on it,
and in my hand is a diary that I've
taken out from that box.
Sarah
It's not too late now. Should I call her?(kelly)
Sarah
Well. I know I can't.
I flip open the diary with the
contacts written on it.
Among the familiar names, Daisy's
name catches my eyes.
Sarah
It's okay. I can do it well. It's Daisy! We
are bff…!
I call her, and she answers after a
few signals.
Right. I need to say something.
Daisy Olson
Who's this? A spam call?
No. It's not a spam call!
Daisy Olson
Hello~? Is it a spam call? No, thank
you, I'm not buying anything.
Sarah
No, it's me! Sarah Russel from your
high school!
Daisy Olson
…Ha, look here.
Daisy Olson
Did you use a voice alteration
program, Henry? You're a dead
meat.
Sarah
No, it's not a voice alteration
program or anything...
Sarah
We used to read romance novels together?
Daisy Olson
Romance novels? I don't remember
reading any.
Sarah
Oh, come on. We read all kinds of
books and discussed it
Daisy Olson
I-I didn't! Ahem!
Sarah
You asked me if I'm into sexy and
possessive men after reading Fifty
Shades of Blue.
Sarah
And you said your dream is to get an
internship at a company with a hot
CEO, remember?
Sarah
You also introduced me to 19+
novels…
Daisy Olson
I read only a few fantasy romances.
What was my first book?
Sarah
Twilightz. Though everything's still
a better love story
Daisy Olson
Then, what's the romance book I
have the highest regard for?
Sarah
Well, Prxde and Prejudice. Old but
gold.
Daisy Olson
…Mr. Darcy is my all time favorite.
Sarah
Well, I can't deny that.
Daisy Olson
Classic is the best.
After staying silent for a long time,
Daisy says…
Daisy Olson
Darn it! It's really Sarah Russel...?
Episode 2
I wanted to forget those days and move on.
To me, memories of those days are too painful.
But now, I think I know it better-
I didn't run away because I hated the time back then.
I did that because I was sad that I couldn't go back to that
time.
Sarah
Right, I was so overwhelmed when I
heard her voice.
Sarah
Of course, I'm feeling more anxious
now…
I said I missed everyone a lot, but-,
Sarah
Should I have told Daisy about my script
as well…?
My head begins to ache as I look at
my planner.
<<Schedule>>High School Reunion :
Do research for my script.
Sarah
Ah…. It's as though I'm going there only
for my research.
Sarah
But I do miss my friends.
Sarah
I mean it. I miss them.
When I almost reach there, I get a
message.
Joseph Ortiz
Did you get there well?
Joseph Ortiz, my childhood friend.
Sarah
I'm at the entrance now. What
about you?
Joseph Ortiz
At the hospital.
He's the perfect guy you can dream
of- and he's a doctor!
And not just a doctor, an esteemed
psychiatrist in town.
Joseph Ortiz
How are you feeling?
Sarah
..I feel quite anxious.
Sarah
I mean, quite a lot.
Joseph Ortiz
...I told you I can prescribe you a
tranquilizer.
Joseph Ortiz
No, you're not. I'm worried about
you.
Joseph Ortiz
It's your first time meeting them
after you came back.
Joseph Ortiz
Won't they ask you why you
suddenly left like that?
Sarah
Yes, Daisy did, but I couldn't
explain it to her over the phone.
I'll explain to them later.
It's almost time, and I need to go in.
Joseph Ortiz
Hmm……. I think it's better for you
to not tell them the reason.
I decide not to text him back
because I don't want to be late at
the meeting. But still, I'm worried.
Sarah
What should I say if they question me…?
I went abroad because I suddenly
got very sick. I didn't tell anyone,
and just vanished like that..
As soon as I step into the building,
my heart races in anxiety.
And I think to myself as I get on the
elevator-
that I shouldn't have come here
today.
Although the elevator reaches the
rooftop where my reunion party is
held,
Sarah
....Shall I just go home…..?
My feet suddenly become glued to
the floor.
Wouldn't they think that I'm weird?
And the biggest problem is that-,
I'll be disappointed after comparing
myself with them.
Back then,
I was a bright, outgoing girl.
Sarah
But now… I don't even have a proper job.
I'm just an assistant writer.
At that moment, I come to look at
my reflection in the mirror beside
me.
...I don't really like myself.
Sarah
No. I should just go back home.
I press the L button to go down to
the lobby.
Sarah
I'll finish my script somehow, and I'll
explain it well to the main writer.
It's better to find another way and
solve it on my own rather than
going to an awkward party.
I need to get home quickly.
The sluggish elevator finally arrives,
Episode 3
I hear voice that still makes my heart
skip a beat.
As soon as our eyes meet, I realize-
that I'm still not okay.
With time, I learned to bury the memories,
but it only takes a second for them
to rush back into my mind.
Silence falls on us. I can't bear it
and open my mouth first.
Sarah
Oh, I was about to leave now! I'm so glad
I got to meet you after all these years.
Now I'lI-
Sarah
I-l… I need to go somewhere now.
Nick Lane
Then let's go together.
Sarah
No, I can go by myself…
Jay Stewart
No. Don't leave.
Sarah
..Come to think of it, I don't think I need
to go there now. Let's go in.
I quickly go into the bar to avoid these three guys.
And at the party… Let alone the research.
It wasn't that bad when I got into the bar with those guys.
Henry
Wow, they all came together!
Jamie
They're really here!
Everyone looks at our direction.
Sarah
I should have entered quietly.
Sarah
I don't want to get all their
attention
I don't want to get all their
attention, so I sit down quietly.
Daisy Olson
Hey, Sarah ! Don't you even
recognize me?!
Sally
You suddenly appear after 10 years,
and……. You know, I'm sad.
Henry
Yeah, right, Sarah. I was really sad.
Daisy Olson
I waited for you to contact me…
Jamie
I remember you telling us about the script you’ve wrote at graduation
Sally
Yeah but there was no ending
Sarah
N-No. It isn't that important.
Judy
I remember you saying..
Sally
that in the ending, you're going to reveal
who was Sarah's first love, out of the
three main characters.
Sarah
R-right. That's all!
Henry
No, it isn't. There was something more
important!
Sarah
Please shut up, Henry…
Daisy Olson
Oh, right! I remembered it!
But today, no one is helping me.
Daisy Olson
Sarah's first love is one of those three
guys there. Isn't it!?
And everyone's eyes become fixed
on the three guys.
And before I know, I shout out-,
Sarah
It's not like that! My first love wasn't a
childish boy. He was more mature and
stunning!!
Sarah
..I think it's too hot in here. I'll get some
fresh air and come back.
Silence falls over the bar, and all
that could be heard is Henry's
serious mumbling.
Sarah
nearly confessed my first love to
everyone!
Sarah
I'm screwed… Totally screwed…
I'm sure everyone now knows
everything…
I seize the diary that I've written
«Schedule> High School Reunion:
Research.
Because my first love is….
Sarah
And my spirit is crying for leaving-
Sarah
(In my thoughts I have seen rings of
smoke through the trees-)
Everyone loves listening to hot 100
B-board chart, but I prefer old
songs.
Sarah
And the voices of those who stand
looking-)
And as I am about to sing the highlight of the song,
Someone approaches me from the
back and snatches away one of my
earphones.
Jay Stewart
Oh… This is almost a requiem.
Jay Stewart
Is it in old English? It sounds like it was
made in medieval ages.
Jay Stewart
Alas, my love you do me wrong- to cast
me off discourteously.
Yes, it's old….. But no, I should not
give in to him.
Jay Stewart
Right? Isn't it similar?
Jay Stewart
Sarah, I watched a TV show last night.
Sarah
I'm already nervous…
Jay Stewart
They were doing a test on the generation
gap.
Jay Stewart
And the host asked 'What's the first song
that co
Jay Stewart
And the host asked 'What's the first song
that comes to your mind when you hear
the word "Lies"?
Jay Stewart
Most teenagers answered "Lies" by Lil'
Nicole, while people in their 30s
answered "Lies" by Christina Brown.
Jay Stewart
Hahaha. You're already in your 30s.
Jay Stewart
Maybe late 30s?
Sarah
... You have a death wish?
We squabble all the way to our
classroom, and I see a familiar
person sitting in front of my seat.
Sarah
...Why's he here at this time?
Jay Stewart
She's hinting out that you're a thug,
incase you didn't get her indirect
sarcasm.
Sarah
Ah, when did I do that?
Sarah
I thought I was being quite direct.
Sarah
Hey, let's do that test him as well.
Jay Stewart
Come on, he's not like you.
Sarah
No, see. Alex, what song comes to your
mind when you hear the word "Lies"?
Alex
Do I really have to think of one?
Sarah
Argh, come on. Just think of any.
Alex thinks hard, then finally
opens his mouth.
Alex
"It was all a lie", by Beatrice Lopez.
Sarah
...I think I heard my grandmother playing
that song on her gramophone.
Sarah
Please tell me it's a joke.
Jay Stewart
...Too bad, I can't help him.
Sarah
Nooo, Alex stands out from the others.
He's special.
Alex
That doesn't sound like a compliment.
Sarah
Oh. I didn't know you'd catch that.
As we crack some jokes, the
classroom door slids open and I
hear familiar footstep sounds.
and I find Nick, whose eyes are
open wide in surprise.
Jay Stewart
Oh, Nick's here.
Sarah
We were doing a test!
Nich was deaf he lost his hearing in a car accident., he says it like nothing
He reads our lips so understands what we are saying
I forgot all about that, and I'm only
thinking about myself now.
Sarah
…..I should go in now. I was out for too
long.
Sarah
*I take a step, thinking that it should
be calm by now. But right at that
moment, I hear something fall on
the ground.*
Jay Stewart
I think you dropped this.
And Jay hands me over my diary
with a playful, courteous bow.
That sound was my diary hitting the
ground……. And I feel my heart sink.
Jay Stewart
You're welcome.
Jay shrugs his shoulders and leans
over.
