GEORGE<br />
But I knew what might happen. I<br />
knew more than you what we were<br />
risking.<br />
BEN<br />

it’s hard to fall asleep without<br />
you. This situation we’ve gotten<br />

INT. PIANO STUDENT’S HOME - DAY<br />
A YOUNG GIRL plays at the grand Steinway piano, in this<br />
upper middle class apartment. Even though the metronome<br />
on top of the piano is giving a certain rhythm, the Girl<br />
seems to be following no one in her interpretation of<br />

carefully. And as soon as the Girl finishes...<br />
GEORGE<br />
What happened<br />

instrument you’re playing, and<br />
listen. Always - listen! What is<br />

-fol-low! You can’t just create<br />
your own rhythm to Chopin. Let’s<br />
do it again.<br />
