[INT. QUEST COMPOUND, NIGHT]
{Music Intro}
[Miana is sitting in the attic, on the bare wooden floor, in a long-skirted
white dress. A candle flickers in a brass holder beside her. She holds a
dusty photo album in her lap, and as she begins to sing, she opens the cover]
I looked into your eyes
[first page: a picture of Hadji as she first saw him, hair loose, shirt open]
They told me plenty I already knew
[slowly she turns the page]
You never felt a thing
[next page: image of Hadji walking down the corridor of the school, with the
co-eds sighing after him]
So soon forgotten, all that you do
[the picture comes to life, and Hadji walks slowly out of view, obviously
disgusted with the attention]
In more than words I tried to tell you
[Miana turns to the next page]
The more I tried, I failed
[she winces at the "photo" so revealed]
I would not let myself believe that you might stray
[Hadji standing in the attic with Mica, as Miana saw them]
And I would stand by you no matter what they say
[the picture comes alive, and Hadji pushes past Mica, silently pleading with
Miana to understand]
I would
[Miana turns her face away from the picture]
I thought I'd be with you until my dying day
[she brushes away a sudden tear]
Hey, until my dying day...
[without looking at the book, she turns the next page, only then looking back]
I used to think my life was more than empty
[a picture of herself, as the Dancer, which slowly comes to life, dancing
through a soft mist]
A lonely space to fill
[Miana smiles sadly, watching her dream-self dance]
You hurt me more than I ever would have imagined
[a hand comes out of the mist and catches the Dancer's]
You made my world stand still
[Hadji's dream-self steps from the mist and takes the Dancer in his arms, and
they both look at her and smile]
And in that stillness, there was a freedom
[Miana slams the album shut and throws it aside]
I never felt before
[she wraps her arms around herself]
I would not let myself believe that you might stray
[Miana bows her head for a moment, obviously struggling with herself]
And I would stand by you no matter what they say
[she shakes her head]
I would
[the gauzy curtains hanging over the window stir in a sudden breeze]
I thought I'd be with you until my dying day
[A shadow falls across Miana, and she looks up]
Hey, until my dying day...
[Hadji stands silhouetted in the doorway, but makes no move to enter the
room...Miana looks at him with tear-filled eyes, then turns her face away from
him as the music fades out.]
