Context

Lost Ema asks sitting-on-the-side-of-the-road Amila for directions but isn’t getting the answers she desperately needs.

Text

EMA So which way then?!

AMILA Good question. I don’t have the answer.

EMA Why are you playing with me?

AMILA Me?

EMA Yeah, you! Who else? The woman behind you?

Amila motions to look behind her.

EMA No! Don’t do that! Don’t look behind you when you damn well know no one’s there.

AMILA I really thought someone-

EMA What’s with the games?

AMILA I need some time to time.

EMA Do you know who I am?

AMILA No. We haven’t been formally introduced yet-

EMA Ema Emily Esperanza. I doubt you would know who I am.

AMILA Should I?

EMA In fact, no. I run in particular circles.

AMILA Sounds nauseating.

EMA You wouldn’t know who I am unless you know the industry.

AMILA Which is?

EMA What do you know about photography?

AMILA Always make sure to have a lot of memory.

EMA There are tiers: photojournalism, fashion photography, fine-art photography, event photographers and then social mediamodels.

AMILA You’re the first tier?

EMA The second. Celebrities. Go ahead. Name someone.

AMILA Uh…

EMA Anyone.

AMILA Mila León.

EMA Who’s that?

AMILA I think that’s the name of the lady who used to babysit me when I was a kid.

EMA Not anyone, someone famous!

AMILA Ooooh. Amelia Earhart.

EMA What? No. Someone alive. Now.

AMILA I don’t really pay attention to entertainment.

EMA The point is, you name them, I captured them. You name the magazine, I’ve done the cover. Ema Emily Esperanza.

AMILA I’m Amila. I like oranges.
