Text

START: MANUS: We’re doing very well. And we’re going to try it once more--just once more. Now--relax and breathe in…deep…and out…in…and out…
(Sarah shakes her head vigorously and stubbornly)
MANUS: Come on, Sarah. This is our secret.
(Again vigorous and stubborn shaking of Sarah’s head)
MANUS: Nobody’s listening. Nobody hears you.
[... …]
END: MANUS: Say the word: flow-ers. Come on--flow-ers.
SARAH: Flowers.
MANUS: You see?--you’re off!
(Manus leans down and kisses the top of Sarah’s head)
MANUS: And they’re beautiful flowers. Thank you.
