Jenny must stay at home
It is a hot summer day. Jenny and Gilbert Lawson are having breakfast at a table in their garden. Gilbert is reading a book.
JENNY
Gilbert, can I come with you? To America?
GILBERT
(He is reading. Looking up) What?
JENNY
Oh, Gilbert! Please listen to me! I said 'Can I come to America too?'
GILBERT
(Eating some bread) Mmmm. This is good bread. Did you make it?
JENNY
Yes. Gilbert! I said, 'Can I come with you?'
GILBERT
No, Jenny. You have work here. There's the house, the garden...
He begins to read his book again.
JENNY
I remember My New Friend. It was your best film. It was my best film, too! They were happy days.
GILBERT
(He puts the book down, smiling.) Yes. I watched My New Friend again last week. It's the best Gilbert Lawson film. And you were good in it, my love! You're a good actress.
JENNY
(Smiling) The film had a good director! Gilbert Lawson!
GILBERT
Oh, thank you! But now I have this new film, so I must go to America for six weeks.
JENNY
Gilbert, can I be in this film, too? I want to be an actress again.
GILBERT
Perhaps next time. Would you like that? Perhaps you can be in the next film.
JENNY
You said that before.
GILBERT
Did I? (Eating again) Yes, this bread is very good.
Yes, this bread is very good.'
JENNY
Can we go to America together then? Not for a film. Just you and me. Perhaps next year?
GILBERT
Perhaps. (He smiles at her.)
JENNY
(Smiling at him) Next year, then.
GILBERT
Yes. Next year. Love, I must go now. I'm going to be late for the plane. I love you, Jenny.
JENNY
(Unhappily) I love you, too, darling.

珍妮必須待在家里
夏日里炎熱的一天。珍妮和吉爾伯特·勞森正坐在花園里的桌子旁吃早餐。吉爾伯特正在讀書(shū)。
珍妮：
吉爾伯特，我能和你一起去嗎？去美國(guó)？
吉爾伯特：
（正在讀書(shū)，抬起頭來(lái)）什么？
珍妮：
喂，吉爾伯特！請(qǐng)聽(tīng)我說(shuō)！我說(shuō)：“我也去美國(guó)可以嗎？”
吉爾伯特：
（吃著面包）嗯，這面包不錯(cuò)，是你做的嗎？
珍妮：
是的。吉爾伯特！我問(wèn)：“我能跟你一起去嗎？”
吉爾伯特：
不行，珍妮。你在這兒有工作要做。這棟房子，這個(gè)花園……
他又讀起書(shū)來(lái)。
珍妮：
我想起了《我的新朋友》。那是你最好的影片，那也是我最好的影片！那時(shí)候多開(kāi)心呀！
吉爾伯特：
（放下書(shū)，微笑著。）是呀，上周我又看了一遍《我的新朋友》，那是吉爾伯特·勞森最好的電影。你演得也很棒，親愛(ài)的！你是個(gè)出色的演員。
珍妮：
（微笑著）那部電影有個(gè)出色的導(dǎo)演！就是吉爾伯特·勞森！
吉爾伯特：
啊，謝謝！可我現(xiàn)在要拍這部新影片，所以必須去美國(guó)六個(gè)星期。
珍妮：
吉爾伯特，我也能參演這部影片嗎？我還想當(dāng)演員。
吉爾伯特：
下一次吧，好嗎？也許你可以參演下一部影片。
珍妮：
你以前說(shuō)過(guò)這話(huà)。
吉爾伯特：
是嗎？（又吃了起來(lái)）不錯(cuò)，這個(gè)面包非常好吃。
珍妮：
那我們可以一起去美國(guó)嗎？不是為了拍電影，只有你和我。明年怎么樣？
吉爾伯特：
或許可以吧。（他朝她微笑。）
珍妮：
（朝他微笑）那就明年吧。
吉爾伯特：
好吧，明年。親愛(ài)的，我現(xiàn)在得走了，要不就趕不上飛機(jī)了。我愛(ài)你，珍妮。
珍妮：
（不高興地）我也愛(ài)你，親愛(ài)的。
珍妮與一名電影學(xué)院學(xué)生的談話(huà)
六周之后。珍妮在機(jī)場(chǎng)喝咖啡，等待吉爾伯特的航班。一個(gè)名叫亨利的年輕人看到了她，亨利手里拎著一個(gè)大旅行包。
亨利：
您好！您是珍妮·勞森嗎？
珍妮：
是的。
亨利：
我就知道！
一名年輕的女服務(wù)員端來(lái)了珍妮要的咖啡，她朝亨利笑了笑。
女服務(wù)員：
（對(duì)珍妮）給您。（對(duì)亨利）您想來(lái)點(diǎn)兒什么？
珍妮：
（對(duì)女服務(wù)員）謝謝。（對(duì)亨利）不好意思，我們認(rèn)識(shí)嗎？
亨利：
（對(duì)女服務(wù)員）請(qǐng)給我來(lái)一杯可樂(lè)和一個(gè)三明治。
女服務(wù)員：
（朝亨利微笑。）一杯可樂(lè)，一個(gè)三明治。（下場(chǎng)。）
亨利：
（對(duì)珍妮）啊，抱歉——是這樣的，我看過(guò)你的電影《我的新朋友》，我也認(rèn)識(shí)吉爾伯特。我能坐下嗎？
珍妮：
（微笑著）你不能站著喝可樂(lè)，吃三明治呀。等一下，我認(rèn)出你了，我見(jiàn)過(guò)你。可我想不起來(lái)在何時(shí)何地——告訴我，你是怎么認(rèn)識(shí)吉爾伯特的？
亨利在珍妮的桌邊坐下。
亨利：
我正在研究他的作品，我了解吉爾伯特·勞森所有的電影。不過(guò)別說(shuō)我了，我想聊聊你。你不開(kāi)心，我能看得出來(lái)。
珍妮：
（生氣地）什么？你不能那么說(shuō)！
女服務(wù)員回到場(chǎng)上，端來(lái)了一杯可樂(lè)和一個(gè)三明治。
女服務(wù)員：
（放下手里的東西，沖著亨利微笑。）一杯可樂(lè)，一個(gè)三明治。
亨利：
謝謝。
女服務(wù)員：
別客氣。三明治非?？煽?，我有時(shí)午餐就吃它。
亨利：
（微笑著吃起三明治來(lái)）是的，你說(shuō)的沒(méi)錯(cuò)，非常美味。謝謝。
女服務(wù)員：
別客氣，那么請(qǐng)慢用。（下場(chǎng)。）
珍妮：
（看著手表）我得趕緊走了。
亨利：
你每天都干些什么？
珍妮：
什么？我不認(rèn)識(shí)你，你不能問(wèn)——
亨利：
（微笑著）珍妮，請(qǐng)告訴我吧，你每天都干些什么？
珍妮哭了起來(lái)。亨利友善地微笑著。
珍妮：
（哭著，怒氣沖沖地）好吧，我告訴你答案。我早晨起床，之后就無(wú)所事事。我們沒(méi)有孩子。家里請(qǐng)了一個(gè)女人為我收拾房間，一個(gè)男人打理花園。
亨利：
你有朋友嗎？
珍妮：
（哭著）有！沒(méi)有！我和別人一起喝咖啡，一起吃飯，我們通常說(shuō)些“對(duì)于這個(gè)時(shí)節(jié)來(lái)說(shuō)，今天的天氣真不錯(cuò)”之類(lèi)的話(huà)，可我們不談心。
亨利：
好的，我明白了?，F(xiàn)在我要跟你談?wù)勎易约?。我二十歲，有時(shí)候去美國(guó)，我有一些朋友，我喜歡電影，所以我拍電影。我很快樂(lè)，你呢？
珍妮：
（止住了哭聲。）我拍戲的時(shí)候很快樂(lè)。
亨利：
這就對(duì)了！這就是你的答案！繼續(xù)去做演員吧。
勞拉上場(chǎng)，她看到了珍妮。
勞拉：
珍妮·勞森！
珍妮：
勞拉！
勞拉：
你在這兒干什么呢？
珍妮：

珍妮：

珍妮：
什么？勞拉！你為什么那么說(shuō)？
勞拉下場(chǎng)。珍妮非常不開(kāi)心。
亨利：
我現(xiàn)在得走了。（他提起了自己的旅行包。）
珍妮：
你——你包上的名字是什么？（讀那個(gè)名字）亨利·吉爾伯特·勞森。我現(xiàn)在知道你是誰(shuí)了！吉爾伯特！你是二十歲時(shí)的吉爾伯特?？墒恰獮槭裁茨銜?huì)在這里呢？啊不！??！
