[JOSEPH]
Her fingers slip

[JOSEPH & HIPOLITO]
The bottle drops

[JOSEPH & HIPOLITO]
And falling in slow motion

[SUZANNE]
The bottle hits

[SUZANNE & GEORGETTE]
The stopper rolls

[SUZANNE, GEORGETTE, AMANDINE, GINA]
Across the bedroom floor

[ENSEMBLE]
And hits a wall
And with a click
It’s like a tiny trap-door opens

[AMÉLIE]
A tiny hole
A metal box
A rusty hinge
A broken lock

[ALL]
Slowly crack the treasure open

[AMÉLIE]
[Looks into the box]
Cat’s-eye marble
Die-cast car
A pocket knife
A chocolate bar
A watch that’s waiting to be wound
A treasure waiting to be found
I am Howard Carter stepping into Tutankhamun's Tomb
[NARRATOR (GEORGETTE), spoken]
A treasure chest... that a small boy had hidden 40 years ago

[NARRATOR (GINA), spoken]
On August 31st, at 4 am in the morning Amélie has a dazzling idea

[AMÉLIE]
Give back the box

[NARRATOR (GEORGETTE), spoken]
Wherever the owner was, she would find him and return his childhood

[AMÉLIE]
I have to try

[NARRATOR (HIPOLITO), spoken]
Should he be moved by this, she'll start
Interfering in other people’s lives

[AMÉLIE]
If I did
I could be like Lady Di

[NARRATOR (JOSEPH), spoken]
If not...
[AMÉLIE, spoken]
Tough luck
