SCENE ONE

EXT. ABANDONED CLOISTER, FRANCE – EVENING

[An ancient stone building, surrounded by grassy fields. It has seen better days, but is far from a ruin and looks almost enchanted on this quiet evening.]

JOHN - It's very beautiful.

REBECCA - It always was. And peaceful.

JOHN - Don't tell me . . . I should have seen it a few centuries ago.

REBECCA - Okay, I won't. [beat] But you should have.

[She punches his shoulder playfully, then puts her arm in his and they stroll the grassy grounds.]

JOHN - I remember when we first came here. You were the older woman.

REBECCA - I still am.

AMANDA - So you're an expert.

MAURICE - When you've been around as long as I have, seen the things I've seen, the stories I could tell, but unfortunately I'm a very private man. I don't reveal myself to everyone.

AMANDA - [tongue in cheek] But for me you'll make an exception.

MAURICE - Only because you insist.
