Taatan and her guitar

Mario nods and earnestly begins. As he sings, Clara appears in the spotlight off to the side of the stage and joins him in a duet. "One Heart" Mario: This pain which can't be understood, when I think of you, I'm wrapped in tender feelings and warmth Clara: Ahh- I want to believe, now, in something deeper than me Both: Painful, heart-breaking you Loving you with all of my soul Two hearts strongly seeking, calling out to one another Mario: Although we're Clara: in the dark Both: we keep looking, with one heart Even if we are apart, we are close Concealing our crumbling heart, we continue to hope, Hm... Scene V - At the Waterfront Meanwhile, the real Clara has woken up and fled her house. Crying, she runs past Joey on her way to the lake. He chases after her. Joey: Hey! Young people: Two hearts strongly seeking, calling out to one another Although we're in the dark we keep looking, with one heart Even if we are apart, we are close Concealing our crumbling heart, we continue to hope Lalala --- Joey and Clara reappear up the slope from the lake. He has his arm around her shoulders as he guides her to a bench to sit down. Joey: Don't be alarmed. We met yesterday at your house. I'm Baxter. I live next door. Clara: I remember you, with all the flowers... Joey: Just a minute ago, when you were in the boat you were all tense. You were scared, weren't you? Clara: Yes. I came to myself when you climbed down. Before that I was in the boat and everything was dark... (Her face crumples and she holds her head in both hands.) Ahhh... that's right... Joey: You said you'd rather die... Clara: Yes, I wanted to die. Joey: You seem to be conflicted, Miss Clara. When people are at a loss they contemplate death. My heart has withered too, more times than I can count. I thought about dying once. I think most people experience more pain than joy in their life. At times they despair. But you know, for me, time softens the pain. Clara: Time... Joey: The confusion doesn't clear up right away, but with time it will settle. To live, you see, is to have pain. But to live means that in the light and soft breezes, you'll find peace. And you believe, don't you? In him? Clara nods, looking slightly hopeful. Joey picks up a guitar and begins to play for her. "Guitar, Quietly" Guitar, please tell that person Wet with tears as I strum you tonight This sweet memory Fireflies at the waterfront, the moon in the night sky Strumming alone in time with the waves Time flows by Now my memories have wings and float on the night wind to that gentle one Now my endless pain vanishes to the far reaches of the sky A quiet moment has come Now I face the cold wind and am here Guitar, please tell... that person Clara has a cathartic cry. Meanwhile, Laura, who had been frantically looking for her sister, had stumbled upon them and overheard his song. Now she speaks. Laura: Clara... Clara: Laura... sister! Clara runs to her sister and holds her tight. Laura looks over at Joey. Laura: I unintentionally overheard you... I'm her older sister, Laura. Joey: I'm Joey Baxter. I live nearby. Clara: When did you get here? Laura: When you were sleeping... I've been worried. I was going to talk to you when you woke up, and then I realized you had disappeared.... (To Joey:) Thank you so much for helping her. Clara: My sister got married and now she lives in Paris. (To Laura:) Did you come from Monte Carlo? Laura: Yes. (To Joey:) What you said just now, it struck something in me. As if you were speaking to give me confidence. Are you an American? Joey: Yes. Now I'm living in Switzerland, in Zurich. Laura: I want to help my sister, she's precious to me. Clara: But, Laura... Laura: I know, you're worried that Mario was the killer, right? But earlier Mario told me plainly that he wasn't the one who did it. I don't believe that was a lie. (To Joey:) He's Clara's boyfriend. Joey: I see. If there's anything I can do to help... please tell me about the circumstances. Laura: Thank you. It's terribly rude of me to ask you this on first meeting, but will you help us? Joey: ...Of course. Laura: Wonderful.
