Jade's Sky
Scene N: Nozu
(Sky, Mrs. West and Mr. West sitting at table, not talking, Mrs. Lee comes up)
Mrs. Lee:
Hey Mr and Mrs. West. Can I take your order?
(Looks at all three of them and they still sit there not talking)
Mrs. Lee:
Oh, your still thinking. Okay. That's fine. Do you want any drinks?
Sky:
Look, Mom, Dad. I'm sorry I hid it from you. Okay, it was wrong and I shouldn't have done it.
Mrs. West:
Apology accepted.
Mr. West:
Yes, agreed.
Mrs. Lee:
Okay. Now that's all over, would you like anything to drink? Anything to eat? You know, the usual things you do when you go to a restaurant.
(No one says anything)
Mrs. Lee:
Okay, its still a little awkward.
Sky:
Can I please go to Hollywood Arts.
Mr. West:
No.
Sky:
Why not?
Mr. West:
Because a teacher needs to know the basics of every subject not the lyrics to their favourite songs.
Mrs. Lee:
Wow, I remember those days. They've still to come with my daughter. (sarcastically)Can't wait.
(No one laughs, no one talks)
Mrs. Lee:
Okay, I'll leave you to it, I'm guessing you need another couple of minutes. I'll be serving others, just shout me if you need me.
(Mrs. Lee walks away)
Sky:
Come on. Can I not even do both?
Mrs. West:
Sky, you can't do tours and make albums for the rest of your life. But you can be a teacher. That takes a lot of work. And singing is a big distraction.
Sky:
But I love it.
Mr. West:
Sky, this is not a punishment. Its for your own good.
(Jade runs in and sees them she comes over to the table and sits down next to Sky)
Jade:
Did you not hear your daughter up there? She's an amazing singer. I can't believe after hearing her up there you won't let her be a singer.
(Mr and Mrs. West look at each other and nod)
Mrs. West:
She can go Hollywood Arts, if she passes the audition that is.
Sky:
Thank you.
(Mr and Mrs. West both leave the restaurant)
Sky:
Thank you Jade.
Jade:
You deserve to go to school here. And don't worry about the audition. You'll get in.
(They walk out together)
