IMAGEN DE RADIO MUSIC SHOW EN PANTALLA
(Alfred está mirando en las pantallas imágenes grabadas de Fiona presentando Radio Music Show. Él
pasa adelante y atrás repetidas veces su fragmento preferido, de diez segundos: ella sonríe y mira a
cámara dulcemente mientras canta la cortinilla de inicio del programa. Suspira. Mira al público, les da
la bienvenida. Bromea con ellos.)
(ALFRED) - You may sit down. The show will be starting in a few minutes. You may eat and drink, but
do keep quiet when we go live. Anyway, in 30 minutes we will have a break.
(A una señora mayor le trata amablemente, le prepara el asiento, o le lanza un fino piropo)
(ALFRED) - Oh, what a beautiful lady!
(A algunos niños les dirige una broma que les mantenga atentos)
(ALFRED) - I have a cat friend who lives just round the corner. Some days when I see him in the
morning, he greets me. He's really shy, and bad music scares him. But if we're lucky today and the songs
are good, he may show up over there. Watch out!
(ALFRED) - (Llama la atención del auditorio.) Now pay attention, when I show you this sign
(Laughters) laugh!. When I show you this one (Applause), you must clap. Very good! And what about
this one?.(SILENCE).. Correct, silence!
(Alfred bromea con el público haciéndoles reír, aplaudir y callar alternativamente. De pronto, pierde el
interés y se fija de nuevo en la imagen de Fiona en pantallas, y vuelve a retroceder en el video. Suspira
melancólico. Aparece un gato a su lado. La luz decora el espacio de belleza romántica. De un bolsillo de
Alfred aflora un inmenso corazón.)
(ALFRED) - (Suspira) I love that woman. She is so beautiful, so sweet, so strong... Miss Fiona
Worthington... What if today I find the courage...! I tell her I love her...

BLUES DE ALFRED
(ALFRED) -
Try to plant a house in the forest
Try to build a tree in the yard
Try to see the world without looking
You can do it, just give it a try
You can do anything you want I’m
It's all in you, you only need
to keep on the right track
If the World makes you feel a part
It's not big deal, you are more than that
just keep on the right track
Try to sing with one single Word
You can do anything you want I’m
It's all in you, you only need
to keep on the right track
Oh oh oh oh oh oh (x2)
La la la la, la la la la la
Try to feel the best in the world
Try to scream as loud as you can
You can do anything you want
It's all in you, you only need
to keep on the right track
If the the World makes you feel a part
It's not big deal, you are more than that
just keep on the right track.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh (x2)

(CAT) - Meaow!
(Ella entra gritando, el gato huye, él sorprendido compone la reverencia, se arrodilla y le presenta la
bandeja.)
(Ella se para delante de Alfred, interrogante. Él hace amago de hablar, pero no puede.)
(ALFRED) - Ahh Miss Worthington, I…!
(Silencio inquietante)
(MISS WORTHINGTON) - I’m Fiona Worthington, yes! What are you doing there, clowning already?
(ALFRED) - (Derrotado) I… meaow!
(MISS WORTHINGTON) - Dont be dumb, I'm not in the mood for nonsense. What's this, a croissant?
(Lo prueba y con cara de asco lo tira en la bandeja) As hard as brick!
(Sin mirar a Alfred, toma el café y lo prueba, pone cara de asco y lo tira a la papelera.)
(MISS WORTHINGTON) - It's cold, disgusting cold coffee!
(Vuelve hacia Alfred y le da un manotazo a la bandeja que hace saltar por los aires la flor. Le amenaza
con el dedo.)
(MISS WORTHINGTON) - Alfred, Stop all this in mess and start working! Do you know what day is
today? The grand finali of the Contest. And do you know what will happen if we don't get a hit? (Al
público) If we don't find a hit... all these people will come back home! There will be no more Radio
Music Show! The program will be over! (Mira a Alfred) And we will have no job, Alfie! Disaster!!!

each other again, because we'll both be unemployed! aninployd

Do you know who they are?
(Alfred se levanta pesadamente, triste.)
(ALFRED) - No, no I don't,
(MISS WORTHINGTON) - There are two of them, a boy and a girl. The girl is from New York, her
name is Lucy Perfect and she's a perfectly spoild modern girl. Youth, Yuth that's what she has, She is
young! The boy is from Brixton in London, one of those urban artists who had one inspired day, and now
he's in the grand finale of a contest. Hurry up!
(Miss Worthington va a preparar su vestuario y espacio de locución, no escucha ni ve a Alfred.)
(Alfred recoge la flor angustiado, despacio, con toda la carga dramática. Vuelve a sonar el tema BLUES
DE ALFRED. Aparece el gato, que maúlla en los coros de la canción. Alfred llora, y canta.)
(ALFRED) - All my illusions are shattered, all my joy spoiled. I'll have to give up my dreams. I'll have to
be sad. How different it would be to be happy, full of illusion, in love with life... The world is wonderful,
life is fantastic, clouds are pink when there's love, but me... I can only be sad...
(Rápidamente, Miss Worthington se coloca en el estrado, preparada para escenificar la presentación del
programa.)
(MISS WORTHINGTON) - I want the flowers coming in slowly, for heaven's sake (SEIK), and get in
all the butterflies you can. Keep the cat back!

que pasan, mariposas revolotean alrededor de ella, y ella las saluda.)

(MISS WORTHINGTON) - Alfred! (Enfadada) Where's that cat? Get it now!

(ALFRED) - No, to the street. I told him to go outside.

(MISS WORTHINGTON) - Alfred, Between you and me something has changed. You have
disappointed me and nothing will be the same again.
(Miss worthington se va a maquillarse.)

another love, a little less difficult...
(Se dirige a una mujer mayor que está sentada en lugar visible para todos. Cuando lo hace, un foco
ilumina la zona.)
(ALFRED) – Hmmm! You seem to be a nice lady!

programa.)

What do you want with Alfred?
(Miss Worthington vuelve al centro del set enfurecida por los celos. Pero cuando parece que va a
abroncar a Alfred, aparece en escena Lucy.)

desata la tormenta musical de su tema.)
(LUCY) - Hello, this is my music!

FONDO CURSI PARA LUCY

LIve is not good without love
nothing feels right without it
I'm feeling blessed in this world
'Cause I'm so deeply in love (with you)
With the magic of love I can fly
as high as the sun and the stars
And the sound of music is like
The rhythm and beat of my heart
You're the one, you can make it too
Just take this chance, it's up to you
now go ahead and let it show
But every single one should know (that)
LIve is not good without love
nothing feels right without it
I'm feeling blessed in this world
'Cause I'm so deeply in love (with you)
(Coreografía y pose final. Miss Worthington aplaude y hace aplaudir al público.)
(SIBELIUS) - ¡Woof!
(LUCY) - (Corre a dar besitos a su perro) Thank you my love, my Puppy.
(Suena una guitarra eléctrica, marca un ritmo, irrumpe en el espacio un guitarrista hip-hop con mucha
energía.)
(A. J.) - (Hace participar al público) Hey y'all, little people! Say yes, say yes! When the music sounds,
the body moves! If the body vibrates is 'cause we're alive! C'mon, c'mon,say yes, say yes...
(Salta, rasguea la guitarra, suelta unos gritos y hace responder al público.)
(A. J.) - I've come here to bring you hope and joy. I come to meet new people, to live experiences...
where do I have to sing? Here? C'mon, do what your body asks, let's sing for a while...
(MISS WORTHINGTON) - Thanks for cheering us up, we were very sad before you arrived.
(A. J.) - Ey!
(MISS WORTHINGTON) - Yes, I suppose you are A.J. EY JEY
(A. J.) - A.J. Yes, mi name is A.J. . I´m called A.J.. Sounds good A.J., c'mon y'all repeat after me A.J,
yeah!
(MISS WORTHINGTON) - Cool, Ok. Thank you, they are really happy now, but this is a radio show
and we have to follow a timing. Have you got anything ready for your performance?
(A. J.) - Something like... a song?
(MISS WORTHINGTON) - Yes, a song would be fine...

(MISS WORTHINGTON) - Alfred! get these two out of my radio set! (No está en escena)
(LUCY) - I'm a winner.
(A. J.) - That's false, you haven't won any contest.

(A. J.) - You've won in your dreams.

(ALFRED) - Right now!
(Alfred se sienta y no toma ningún elemento de la fantasía de Presentación)
(MISS WORTHINGTON) - (Angustiada) Alfred? ¡Alfred!
(Los números 3, 2, 1 y entrada los hace mudos con gesto, apartándose de ella. La luz y la pantalla
cambian. Carátula. Sintonía. Miss Worthington cambia de semblante, radiante.)
SALE ALFRED, ENTRA LUCY Y DESPUES AJ Y AYUDAN A FIONA CON SU SHOW O A
ESTROPERALO
.
(Cuando acaba, Alfred muestra al público el cartel: RISAS. -El público lo hace-. Miss worthington
amaga un llanto que reprime a tiempo.)
(MISS WORTHINGTON) - Dear audience, public watching here or from your houses. We have reached
the most important moment of this grand finale: we are going to listen to the two best songs, the finalists.
Firstly I will introduce you to the american contestant Lucy Perfect, from New York!
(Lucy entra en cámara y saluda sonriente. En un momento dado, Lucy muestra unas enormes tijeras con
mala idea. Ante la pasividad de Alfred, Miss Worthington toma el cartel de APLAUSO y se lo muestra al
público, que responde)
(MISS WORTHINGTON) - Ok and now the other contestant from London, United Kingdom, with you
A.J. eY jEY
(A. J. entra como una tromba en el set, saluda donde no debe, hasta que Miss Worthington le coloca
hacia cámara, y entonces sonríe mucho más, y enseña al perrito que tiene escondido en la ropa. Alfred le
ve y se sorprende. Miss Worthington muestra al público el cartel de APLAUSO, y el público aplaude.)
(MISS WORTHINGTON) - And without further delay, we are going to listen to the first song. The
beautiful and tender Lucy Perfect will sing the song "Life is not good without love " which has rhythm
and you're going to love. Remember we'll see both performances and later we'll vote for the winning
song.
I leave you now with Lucy Perfect and "Life is not good without love”
(MISS WORTHINGTON) - (Al público) My dear Audience. I don’t care what other people may think,
let them as they like. But I need you to tell me which song was the best. Please, vote, raise your hands.
(Tiene un abatimiento momentáneo, que empuja a Alfred)
Votes for Lucy Perfect?! hands up! (Los cuenta o hace que los cuenta, aparece un porcentaje en
pantalla)
Very good, 74. And now votes for A.J., hands up! (Los cuenta o hace que los cuenta, aparece el mismo
porcentaje en pantalla) It can't be, they have the same number of votes. This is bad news.
We don't have a winner
But it can't be, without a winner nothing makes sense.
(ALFRED) - Miss Worthington, I've always loved you. When I give you a gift, you don't like it, but I
don't mind. I know you are aware of me. (Miss worthington está como ida, sofocada, se siente atraída
por Alfred y rehúye su mirada) And when you don't treat me right, I think you're telling me that you like
me. You like my presents, the way I look at you. Is it true? Do you love me?

(ALFRED) - Miss Worthington…
(MISS WORTHINGTON) - Call me just Fiona.
(ALFRED) - I don't know what to say.
(MISS WORTHINGTON) - Don't say nothing.
(ALFRED) - You know … I am speechless.
(MISS WORTHINGTON) - My words towards you haven't been nice. I must start again.
(ALFRED) - What I feel for you is...
(MISS WORTHINGTON) - Never mind, you don't need words.
((SE VAN)
(MISS WORTHINGTON) - (Miss worthington da un paso al frente) Ok guys, we have to close the
program. I'll take the chance to resign for ever...
(LUCY) - Don't, we can fix it
(A. J.) - We can do something.
(MISS WORTHINGTON) - Do what?
(A. J.) - Your song is perfect, it could be a hit.
(MISS WORTHINGTON) - But I'm not going to sing in a contest.
(LUCY) - Why?
(MISS WORTHINGTON) - Because I don't wanna do it, I don't like contests.
(A. J.) - We need someone to sing Fiona’s song.
(LUCY) - The Audience!
(Miran hacia la audiencia)
(A. J.) - Do you think there will be someone brave enough to sing?
(LUCY) - (Hacia el público) Does anyone want to sing?
(A. J.) - (Hacia el público) Does anyone want to sing?
(LUCY) - Somebody young and unexperienced?
(A. J.) - Someone brave enough?
(Coinciden en una niña de 7 u 8 años -no 4, no 10-)
(LUCY) - She wants to sing!
(LUCY Y A. J.) - (Triunfales) Do you want to sing Fiona?
(MISS WORTHINGTON) - Yes! 1,2,3

there's no place for worries
if everything looks fine
It's a beautiful day, yes it is!
How wonderful life can be
When you put a smile on your face you will see…
What a beautiful day is indeed!
It's a marvelous feeling, Oh Lord!
there's no better sensation I know
When you feel you can reach any dream with your hand
It's a beautiful day in the end
A little mermaid sings a song
about the beauty of the sea
I just wrote these words
for you to sing with me
It's a beautiful day, yes it is!
How wonderful life can be
When you put a smile on your face you will see…
What a beautiful day is indeed!
It's a marvelous feeling, it is!
there's no better sensation I know
When you feel you can reach any dream with your hand
It's a beautiful day in the end.
(Micrófono en mano, Miss Worthington es la reina del programa)
(MISS WORTHINGTON) - Dear radio listeners, gathered public here in the studio, dear friends
following us from your screens... Our program has come to an end. Plenty of weird, wonderful things
have happened. And we have a surprise for you. There were two champions, two great artists, so good
they triggered a crisis. There was a draw after voting. Both of them deserve the prize, they are both
winners. But they decided the winner song will be the one sung by the all of this finalists.
(?)
(Cuando acaba, Alfred muestra al público el cartel: APLAUSOS. El público lo hace. Alfred y los jóvenes
cantantes les hacen aplaudir a rabiar. Miss Worthington, con la niña de la mano, convoca la votación
popular.)
(MISS WORTHINGTON) - Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming today. See you in the next
show…
