Dream Girl - THIS NEEDS A LOT OF HELP AND OPINIONS!!!

SCENE ONE: GUAGE’S DREAM GIRL

GUAGE’S VOICE: I knew that I had to be with her the moment I first saw her.

GUAGE is walking down the main street of town. He looks up as a blimp passes overhead. When he looks back down he sees GEZEL walking on the opposite side of the street. He stops. He can’t take his eyes off of her. She passes by him. He gets ready to take a step but stops, turns, and runs across the street after her.

GUAGE: Ma’am? Excuse ma’am…

GEZEL turns and looks at him in shock.

GEZEL: Uh, can I help you sir?

GUAGE: My name is Guage and I noticed you were walkin’ alone and I thought to myself, “What’s a girl of her beauty walkin’ alone down main street without a proper male escort, she must know that it is safer to walk in the company of a gentleman than alone.” So I came over here to offer my services as a gentleman to walk you safely to wherever you were going.

GEZEL: (Smiling ) Well Guage, I appreciate your offer but I dare say I’m brave enough to be walking by myself but since you made quite an effort to come over here, I would appreciate the company.

GUAGE: You would?

GEZEL: I would. My name is Gezel. I’m new here. I heard that City is the most advanced place on earth with its rotating building, steam stacks, and so much more. I had to see for myself.

They begin walking. As they walk, they talk about the items in shops, blimps flying overhead, the latest technologies, etc.

GUAGE’S VOICE: It wasn’t long before ______ and I were inseparable. Soon I was able to, with some hard work and calling in a few I owe you’s, take her on her first flight. She loved it even though were only allowed down in the workers’ level; we were still able to see out a small window tucked behind boxes of Champaign in a small room filled with expensive food for the rich aristocrats on board. It was as if I’d given her wings and it was just us two soaring through the clouds. On our descent back to the to ground, just as we broke through the clouds it was God decided to allow perfectly placed beams of sunlight to break through the clouds that reflexed precisely on the city below. The city shone. __________ was breathless. A single tear escaped down her cheek and that’s when I knew I loved her. That night when I walked her to her door, she stood on her toes and kissed me. She kissed me.

GUAGE’S VOICE: Exactly one month after we met I took her to the park in the center of the city just after dark. We laid next to each other on a blanket my mom quilted for me just before I came to City to pursue my dreams my dreams of being an actor, and stared up at the sky watching blimps and plane weave through the sky. There must have been a band playing on a street near by in hopes that passerby’s would give them spare change because music drifted lightly into the park. A stood and extended my hand to __________ and right then and there we danced. Time stood still. The music slowly died and that’s when she looked up at me and whispered she loved me in my ear. I was in heaven. This ethereal beauty loved me. I was the luckiest man to ever live.

GUAGE’S VOICE: Time flew by and before I knew it I was asking her father for her hand in marriage. I’d only known her a year but in that year she’d given my life reason. Her father was reluctant since I was only a factory worked dreamin’ of being in the moving pictures but he agreed. I saved up for six months after that to buy her the ring of her dreams. I took her to The Aqua Tower, the tallest building in the city, on the clearest most beautiful night I could have ever hoped for.

GUAGE and GEZEL step out onto the viewing platform of ____________ Tower, they’re alone. GEZEL walks to the edge and looks over the guardrail down at the city. Below people walk along the street, automobiles drive by, steam rises in puff occasionally from vents in the streets, etc.

GEZEL: This is beautiful! I can’t believe you were able to talk to the guard into letting us up here by ourselves. Did you know him? He seemed pretty eager to…

She turns around to see GUAGE kneeling behind her holding out the ring. She’s speechless.

GUAGE: Will you…

GEZEL: (she starts to cry) Gauge?

GUAGE: I love you, I want to spend the rest of my days with you; I even braved asking your father’s permission for your hand. I’ve been planning this for month and I couldn’t wait any longer. Will you be mine forever?

GEZEL: YES!

GUAGE slowly slides the ring on GEZEL’s finger. She’s speechless as she stares at it. He stands and wraps his arms around her. She kisses him repeatedly, smiling constantly.
