AT RISE: ALEX is at the table, fretting over the cloth that covers the table. He lays the
cloth onthe mannequin, frowns, then tosses it back on the table. ADRIEN is asleep on the
bed. ADRIEN begins to wake while ALEX gets progressively more frustrated, eventually
throwing squares of cloth around the room.
ADRIEN: (Groaning) Alex, it's too early, come back to bed.
ALEX: It's noon.
ADRIEN: I'm French, we aren’t supposed to be up this early in the morning.
ALEX: You've been in the States for 5 years now, you should be used to it by now. Besides,
wouldn't it be like six P.M. in France right now?
ADRIEN: Which means it is time for an early night. Come back to bed. (Sits up) Still
working on that new piece? I told you the line is fine.
