Perception Page #6

Anthony - Hi Ben!

Ben - good evening Anthony, I have not seen you for a long time. What would you like to drink?

Anthony - the same as always Ben!

Ben smiled and handed the drink to Anthony

Enthony took a glass in his right hand

After couple seconds

Anthony - What's the new Ben?

Ben - what can be new for me, from morning to evening the only work, and also sea sickness in between!(he smiles)

There is a completely unobtrusive conversation. then Anthony turns around and asks Ben looking into his eyes

Anthony – your locket Ben?(Anthony looks like freezed)

Anthony holding a glass with drink in his right hand and show for Ben with index finger. –your locket Ben! – I think I know it Ben.(he looks right to the locket) Where did you get it from?

Ben - this one,

Anthony took his locket in his right hand

Anthony – I bought it in Boston .couple years ago at a flea market , so I wear it occasionally(pause , Ben looks at Anthony)why you asking Anthony?

Anthony - I had the same before, a long time ago, when I was young like you Ben , I was about 40 yo(he finished his glass) , looks at Ben) then I lost it somewhere!

Ben – well , I suppose this is not the only one in whole world! Do you want anything else Anthony?

Anthony did not say a word. he finished his drink with one gulp and knocked with glass of bar stand. Then he turned around and said

Anthony – put it in my account Ben

Anthony was convinced for himself of the correctness of Ben's words, most likely Anthony could have seen these amulet somewhere and drawn from memory earlier, and the fact that he saw it at Bens chest was a pure coincidence.

We see the show , its almost completed , Anthony went to the stairs and he was distracted by a friend waving to him in the distance and did not notice when he ran into a waitress coming out of the door , he hit her with his back , the waitress was Scarlet.

Scarlet – Oh , sir, excuse me please , I .....

Anthony – what are you my dear , this is I owe you I'm sorry(he hold her by her elbows)

Immidiately Anthonys sight fell down on a little rose on girls collar on Scarlets jacket , Anthony was in complete disbelief and it all became clear

We see it shining by the light on Scarlets jacket

Scarlet-sir, sorry sir……(sound like going from far away like deep echo)

We see Anthony looked up at her with a faint smile

Anthony – Yes , Yes honey , I was not well perhaps it's time for me to go to my cabin.

You know all these old mans disease

Scarlet - may I guide you to your apartment?

Anthony thought for one second

Anthony – you do not have to do it , but honestly I feel not very good , perhaps Yes, I this this is very good idea , I feel like beginning of seasick.

Scarlet - oh sir , I'm a little seasick myself everytime, and it will be a pleasure for me to guide you to your apartment!

They went down the corridor to another side of the ship, Anthony holding Scarlets arm and pretending that it was hard for him to walk , Scarlet tried to talk to him and politely led to the cabin

Standing by the cabin Anthony said

Anthony-thank you very much miss, may I ask your name to thank you tomorrow, when I will fee better(he smile a little)

Scarlet – well sir , it is not necessary to do it, my name is Scarlett , I am a new waitress here , I work here for about a week and already managed to pour the juice over the guest(she is little shy)

Anthony – you have a beautiful brooch, miss Scarlett , it is very suitable for the color of your green eyes(he point it with his finger)

Scarlet-touching the brooch- oh this one, thank you sir, I like it too very much , she looks happy , this is my friends gift!

Anthony – I suppose this is how your friend made you a magic amulet before sending you for a long voyage?

Scarlet – no , sir, I met him here on this cruise liner . His name is Ben , you probably know him , he's abartender, I hope you know him?

Anthonys face became stoned , but he try to hold a polite smile

Anthony – that young men Benn, Yes, he is very nice guy, always having to tip him, robbed me to the skin, he must have learned it somewhere!

They both laugh ,

Scarlet-happy to help you sir, have a rest and take care yourself !(she patted him by the shoulder)

Anthony- take care of yourself too miss!

We see him enter in his cabin and closed the door.

Scarlet returned to the cabaret, and Terri asked anxiously

Terry – where have you been Scarlet?

Scarlet-one of the guests was feeling bad , I walked him to his cabin

Cabareth .The lights came on , and the cabaret performance was over. The guests began to disperse .
