Movie Script 40

Movie Script 40


A veiled woman is a vestibule. It is circular,
And she is surrounded by large ebony vases
With gold hands and gold borders. The floor
Is a white marble, but there are many cracks
In the white marble floor. She is looking
For Luigi Pirandello, and everyone who passes
By, she grabs the arm and ask if they have
Seen Luigi Pirandello. Most are annoyed,
Push her away. One man was so lonely,
Who wanted to be touched so much, that he
Lied and said he knew Luigi Pirandello.
The veiled woman was extremely happy,
And said, "Where is he? Where is he?"
The man, confused, said "Luigi Pirandello
Is on the sixth floor, in Room 608."
She kissed the man on the cheek, and he
Fainted. She ran up to the sixth floor,
Threw off her veil, knocked on Room 608.
A man opened the door. It was not
Luigi Pirandello, but her husband.
Without her veil, the husband
Did not recognize her, afraid of a stranger,
Slammed the door in her face.
