SCENE THREE- Serena Takes Piano Lessons from Paris
(cut to: SERENA in her church alone.)
Narrator 2: Meanwhile, while Rini was at school, Serena was bored because she graduated from internet college.
Serena: I have nothing to do. (sighs)
Narrator 2: She sighed. Then she had an idea.
Serena: (lightbulb) I have an idea!
Narrator 2: This was her idea.
Serena: I have an idea!
Narrator 2: Her idea was to take piano lessons.
Serena: I think I'll take piano lessons. Who teaches piano? I think Paris does.
(PARIS appears in SERENA's house.)
Paris: Did someone say my name?
Serena: I was just wondering if you taught piano lessons.
Paris: I sure do teach piano!
Serena: Can you teach me?
Paris: Do you have a piano?
Serena: Yeah.
Paris: Let's go Barbie go. (stops) No, let's start in three days.
(KIM, HERMIA, GINNY, GERDA and TZEITEL appear.)
Kim, Hermia, Ginny, Gerda and Tzeitel: Three days!?!?!? Three days?!?! Out in three days?!?!? Etc. etc.
Tzeitel: Those stupid Russians.
(they disappear)
Paris: I'll teach you today then. Why did a bunch of people appear and say three days?
(KIM, HERMIA, GINNY, GERDA and TZEITEL appear.)
Kim, Hermia, Ginny, Gerda and Tzeitel: Three days!?!?!? Three days?!?! Out in three days?!?!? Etc. etc.
Tzeitel: Those stupid Russians.
(they disappear)
Paris: Just go.
Narrator 1: Then Rini came home from school.
Rini: (enters, as PARIS teaches SERENA how to play the piano) I'm home from school!
Serena: We're too busy for you right now, Rini. I'm learning how to play the piano. (sings as she goes up the scale) A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H... there is no H on the piano. A, B, C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C, D, E, F, G...
(background music begins to play and SERENA, RINI and PARIS get in a kickline)
Serena, Rini, Paris: (singing) Do, a deer, a female deer. Re, a drop of golden sun. Mi, a name I call myself. Fa, a long long way to run. So, a needle pulling thread. La, a note to follow so. Ti, a drink with jam and bread. That will bring us back to do, do, do, do...
(music stops)
Paris: Rini needs a babysitter again.
Serena: Oh, crap.
Narrator 1: So Serena called Monica, who drove over in her Porsche.
(MONICA drives over in her Porsche)
Monica: I'll baby-sit Rini.
Rini: (whiny) I don't want a babysitter!
Serena: Too bad.
(the front doors open in the church for no reason)
Narrator 1: (singing) Open the gates and seize the day...
Narrator 2: The day didn't seem like it was being seized though. Rini and Monica went in the tower and existed while Serena learned how to play the piano.
