…(start of Chapter 8 is the same; pick up on Annabelle’s line:)

ANNABELLE
It’s, it’s gunna be ok.

Simone finishes putting on her shirt, looks over her shoulder at Annabelle. Annabelle (with force and deliberately) crosses to Simone, taking her head in her hands and kisses her. THe two women take a moment with their foreheads resting together)

SIMONE
You’d better go.

(Simone takes Annabelle’s hands off and drops them. There’s a brief pause. Annabelle gathers her remaining clothes and crosses out of frame. We hear her voice as Simone looks up and the camera shoots over Simone’s right shoulder to the doorway where Annabelle is now looking over her left shoulder.)

ANNABELLE
For one human being to love another; that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks…the work for which all other work is but preparation.

(Annabelle smiles and grabs onto her Buddhist prayer beads, lowers her head and exits. Cut to close up on Simone whose eyes are red and tear-filled)

SIMONE
My respiration and inspiration…

Fade into Annabelle in Mass & Simone’s walk through the halls to Mother Immaculata’s office. Simone pauses outside the door and grabs onto her cross. Cut to Close Up on Annabelle staring straight ahead; pull out to see Collins next to Annabelle, looking at Annabelle, then straight ahead and then back to Annabelle. Cut to door of Mother’s Office (POV would be Simone’s as she opens the door) which opens to see MOther Immaculata looking out the window. She looks over her left shoulder towards the door. Camera angle changes to Immaculata’s POV)

MOTHER IMMACULATA
Last night, I thought you were absolutely elegant, and still, I saw you were wrestling. Now it makes sense.

(Simone lowers her head as Mother continues)

MOTHER IMMACULATA
What you have done is immoral, unethical…(Simone crosses and sits)Simone, you are the teacher for these girls. The example. She is a student.(Simone looks back up with a look of confidence only seen before in the pictures of her and Amanda. Also, should be subtle, but visible with wardrobe that the gold chain with the cross is no longer around Simone’s neck) How could you let this happen?

SIMONE
I don’t know.

MOTHER IMMACULATA
Surely, there had to be a moment when you thought to yourself, is this really the right thing to do?
