The Plays<br />
Charlie smiles.<br />
CHARLIE<br />
My favorite. Now tell me this, what ingredients go into a chicken curry?<br />
NAOMI<br />
I don't really remember. Beat. This seems like a huge waste of time.<br />
Charlie writes something down in her notebook.<br />
CHARLIE<br />
What movie did you watch?<br />
NAOMI<br />
Legally Blond on Netflix.<br />
CHARLIE<br />
That's interesting given they took it off Netflix only 2 weeks ago. It's my go-to chick<br />
flick you see.<br />
NAOMI<br />
Well, I must be mistaken, I pirated it now that I think about it.<br />
Charlie gets up to pace around the room once more.<br />
CHARLIE<br />
You have a lot of holes in your story and no witnesses.<br />
NAOMI<br />
Well unless you prove me guilty, I'm innocent.<br />
The lights dim, when the stage lights up again Charlie is leaning against the wall,<br />
flicking through her notebook. She studies a page for a moment and then closes the<br />
notebook and slowly walks back over to the desk and takes a seat.<br />
CHARLIE<br />
We had someone go down to the supermarket near the florists. When we showed<br />
them the photo, they couldn't recognize you?<br />
NAOMI<br />
Well, I don't recognize everyone who comes into the florist even if they've been there<br />
before. It wouldn't surprise me that no one recognized me because I had my hood<br />
up, it was raining and it was late in the evening, I probably looked different.<br />
Charlie shakes her head.<br />
