Conor and Eamon are alone in the rehearsal room. Conor reading from a little notebook of scrawled thoughts and pictures. Eamon sits on the edge of the couch with an acoustic guitar.
CONOR
(reading)
“Well she’s standing on the corner.
Like an angel in disguise. And I
want to try and warn her, but She’s
got dangerous eyes.”
EAMON
Dangerous eyes. I like that. What
does that mean?
CONOR
I don’t know.
EAMON
What’s this song about Conor?
CONOR
It’s like, when you don’t know
someone, they’re more interesting.
They can be anything you want them
to be. It’s like you know them
better, when you don’t know them.
You know?
EAMON
No that doesn’t make any sense.
What’s it called?
CONOR
“The Riddle of the model”
EAMON
Epic. What about a rhythm like
this.
Eamon plays a chord. A funky rhythm.
CONOR
Nice. Slow it down a little
Conor tries this lyric over it. Eamon drops to an F, and it starts to sound like something. They smile at the change. Conor takes out a pen from his school bag, adding a lyric, as Eamon continues to play.
