HOW COULD THIS BE LOVE
At this point in the story the lovely Alexandrine and the artist Theodore Gericault, are having trouble resisting the strong attraction they feel for each other. We pick up part way into the scene…
alexandrine
(Referring to what she’s wearing)
Well you don’t expect me to wear this do you?
(She pulls a beautiful gown out of her bag and holds it up against herself.)
Where can I change?
gericault
Change? Change, right.
(He looks around trying to improvise a solution. He grabs a DROP CLOTH from a pile and holds it up.)
This should work.
(He moves and holds the drop cloth in
front of her, blocking her from the audience.)
alexandrine
But you can still see me.
(GERICAULT jokingly turns his head away and closes his eyes.)
Theodore!
gericault
Right!
(Playfully she pushes past him to a group of large canvases and grabs two of them. Meanwhile he awkwardly attempts to hold the drop cloth behind his back. She leans the two canvases against each other forming a V shaped privacy screen. He makes his drop cloth into a cape. She starts laughing.)
alexandrine
(Still giggling)
You make me laugh Theodore. Now. Let me get changed.
(She gestures for him to move away. GERICAULT begins setting up his easel and canvas for her portrait. She throws her gown over the screen and begins changing.)
