lyrics

INT. A Dive Bar - Night

Fade in. Present. We enter to a seedy lounge. We hear: the final chords from an upright piano. Clapping overpowered by casual conversation. Beerbottles opening, glasses clinking. There is a long, mostly empty bar. Booths with cracked vinyl and smoke stained wood paneling line the establishment. The only light radiates from neons, slot machines, and a single light above the stage. The woman behind the piano traces the audience with her eyes. The woman is ANNIE KEMBLE. She puts her lips to her drink, and then to the microphone. And then- -


Annie

Thanks for coming out tonight guys, I really appreciate it. [The piano starts, as though it never stopped.] and thanks for letting me share some stories with you.

Warm, symphonic chords fill the dive bar. The soloist closes her eyes as voices hush. She comes to the dive bar to spin a tale and occasionally share the truth. She begins the song with a deep breath and the smile of an unreliable narrator.
