Eclipse [ ENGLISH VERSION ]

-9- MYSTERY

- BLAIRE'S POV -

That's how we all ended up in Georg's room at 2am.

Dozens of letters on the floor, making the parquet non-existent.

Bill taps his foot, looking at the two sheets of paper he's just put down.
- This doesn't make any sense.
he spits.

Gustav
- It's got to mean something...

Bill
- Why we all got two letters each. There's no point.

Georg
- Stop bitching, Bill.

Bill
- In less than 6 hours we have to be at the studio, I'd like to get some sleep if you don't mind.

Georg
- We've got more important things to take care of.

Bill
- We can sort it out tomorrow. Frankly, they're not going to disappear on a whim.

Georg
- You know very well that we won't do it tomorrow.

Bill
- Good, that's one less thing we'll have to do.

Blaire
- Bill.

Gustav
- Bill.

Georg
- Bill.

The three of us say in unison, and he sighs, dropping into the armchair behind him.

Georg
- Gustav, tell me your letters.

Gustav grabs his two pieces of paper.
- M and I

Georg
- And you, Blaire?

I grab my two letters.
- E and C

Georg
- Bill?

Bill sighs, throwing the leaves to the ground.
- S and A

Georg nods.
- I've got P and S.

Bill
- This is getting us nowhere.

Gustav
- It's true, it doesn't even form a word.

Georg
- I'm sure we're missing some letters.

Bill
- How long are you going to be crazy with this story?

Blaire
- Bill.

He sighs again.
- Am I the only one who understands that this is someone's bad joke? Please open your eyes.

Gustav stares at Georg for a few seconds, while I stand lost between the three boys squabbling over eight pieces of paper.

Georg
- We didn't get this for nothing, it's impossible.

Bill
- We're just fooling ourselves Georg, and you're falling for it.

Gustav
- We can always discuss this calmly, you know.

Bill
- You're getting on my nerves, all three of you!
he says, rising to his feet and closing the door behind him as he leaves the room.

Georg sighs, Gustav passes his hand over his eyes while I stand up.

Blaire
- I'll go and talk to him, we'll talk again tomorrow.

Georg nods
- I don't think we have a choice anyway.

I get up, wave to the two boys and head for Bill's room.
