Soap Opera Script - English

Lorenzo grabs Angelica's hands and cups it into his. They are both smiling and enjoying a candle-lit dinner.

Marielle and friend is seen walking up to a restaurant. The friend spots Lorenzo and Angelica.

Marielle: Lorenzo said this place was goo-
Friend: Oh. My. God. Speaking of the devil, there he is with another woman right now! Do you know her? AND WHY ARE THEY HOLDING HANDS? What are you gonna do?

Marielle storms off with watery eyes

- Back to their house -

Lorenzo: Hey love, I'm home. Ay, such a long day at work.
Marielle (coldly): I bet it was.
Lorenzo (attempts to kiss her): Why are you sitting in the dark? What's the matter with you?
Marielle (moves away): Ohhh, what's the matter with ME?! Where you really at work, huh Lorenzo?
Lorenzo (startled): Y-Y-Yes, and why are you yelling? Can you calm down and tell me what's wrong?
Marielle (louder): What's wrong? Oh, I'll tell you what's wrong. What's wrong is me having to see you with that harlot of yours when you claim that you're busy at work! And what's worst is that you actually looked happy with her. I haven't seen you smile at me like that in forever!

Opening Intro

Amelia

Good Morning Bowie High, it's your BHS correspondent, Amelia Aquino, at the American Film Institute's Silver Theatre with Mr. Arcusa's TV Production Class and Bulldog Bulletin members. I spoke to Mr. Arcusa to find out just what it is we're doing here.

Arcusa

When choosing a new field trip for the year, I wanted to find something that would address film making and we were in luck to find out that the AFI Theatre not only would host us but even paid for the bus.

They start getting loud and passerbys look and stare and gossip. Angelica is embarrassed and tries to leave. Marielle pulls her hair and Angelica tries to slap Marielle but Marielle grabs her wrist. Marielle is angry to the point that she cries and tells Angelica the pain and hurt Lorenzo and her caused.

Marielle's and Lorenzo's house, 4 pm
Marielle is seen packing, hastily pacing back and forth gathering her belongings. Lorenzo tries to stop her and she cries. He cries. Marielle expresses her hurt and embarrassment. She leaves and is seen walking out the door. Fades-out.
