TIME: Few days after
We see cafes and large stone buildings everywhere. People walking about, enjoying themselves with the Italian summer upon them. There are street performers on one side of the stage, singing their song. Meanwhile, MELISSA and TALIA enter and sits down on one of the cafes available in the plaza.
STREET PERFORMERS (a la faux Italian song)
[Translate this to Italian]
Roma
O la ciudad bonita
El anticue y la moderna
O la ciudad mayor
Roma
El centro del mundo
Donde arte y pasion
Crecio de los Maestras
Roma
Mi amore
Prima donna de Italia
El centro del mundo
La ciudad bonita
El centro del mundo
MUSIC UNDERNEATH. MELISSA and TALIA applauds the performance.
TALIA
I'm so glad I came.
MELISSA
On the expense of your boss's money.
TALIA
I am in an errand to get the finest Italian cloths in Rome. But I like to think of it as a vacation.
MELISSA
I'd say cheers to us. Us being in Italy and you being in Burberry.
TALIA
Cheers!
They do.
After all, it's only an internship.
MELISSA
It's more than anyone can do.
TALIA
Well, there's Monica as Hillary's intern.
MELISSA
Great! My friend reminds me of my failures.
TALIA
No. You're a success.
MELISSA
Thank you for making me feel better.
TALIA
Things happen when the time is right.
MELISSA
True. About that, my friend is suppose to be here. He's late.
TALIA
Yeah. You mention him about going to be here.
