Nothingtolose
A is a beautiful, youthful girl who is sitting in a small café in the outskirts of a city, she remains sat throughout on a round table with a checked table cloth, and a mug of coffee in front of her she keeps warming her hands on, she is happy. Adjacent to her is a man, all in black. From his head to his feet, throughout remains motionless, you never see anything more than the back of him. The lighting should be dim.
A: I, I caught, I caught the, I caught the train; I caught the train to Paris. The train to Paris I caught it. Last night I, I caught the train to Paris. Caught the train last night, to get out of here. Get out of here, to Paris, catch the train. Last night. Last night caught the train to Paris to get out of here. To leave this all behind. I caught the train. I caught the train to Paris, to Paris. Last night. Last night. Last night. I caught the train. I caught the train to Paris. Last night. The train. The train to Paris, last night. I caught the train. To get out of here. I caught the train. To leave this all behind. I caught the train. To Paris. I caught the train. I caught. Sorry. Im Sorry, I caught it. To Paris, we left, on the train. To Paris, I caught, we left. Im sorry, I left. I caught the train. I had to catch the train. To Paris. Nowhere else. Paris. Always dreamed of Paris. I caught the train to Paris. Why? I had to. It was imperative to catch it. Last night. I caught, I’m sorry.
Lights down for 15 seconds…back up, the girl is now no longer looking youthful, she looks tired, miserable, and ultimately alone.
A: Let’s get out of here, Toulouse, we’ll catch the train. Tonight. Catch the train to Toulouse to get out of here. To leave this all behind. I catch the train. I catch the train to Toulouse, to Toulouse. Tonight. Tonight. Tonight. I catch the train. I catch the train to Toulouse. Tonight. The train. The train to Toulouse, tonight. I catch the train. To get out of here. I catch the train. To leave this all behind. I catch the train. To Toulouse. I catch the train. I catch. Sorry. Im Sorry, I catch it. To Toulouse, we leave, on the train. To Toulouse, we catch… we left. Im sorry, I left. We catch the train. We had to catch the train. To Toulouse. Nowhere else. Toulouse. Always dreamed of Toulouse. I catch the train to Toulouse. Why? we had to. It was imperative to catch it. Tonight. I catch, I’m sorry.

I should have posted that before, just being lazy. Should be a short trip for you to see it if they choose it for Leeds.
Best Wishes
