Blackout [Workshop]

[USNAVI]
Blackout! X16 (gradually fading)

[NARRATION]
Soon we see cell phones lights fired up illuminating faces

[?]
Honey, it’s me
Do you have electricity where you are?
It’s bizarre:
The lights are out in this nightclub and I’m
Trying to see if I can find my way around in the dark
Where'd I park
Don’t worry
I’ll be home soon

[?] [?] [Alma] Hold on, full on (?) it’s me baby panic please turn the tv to New York One The crowd is manic Is it on? And everybody What do you mean the screaming and shoving power's gone? and shouting and slapping You’re on your own and everyone’s frantic baby I wish I could be it’s happening there but I’m not. I too soon. know it’s hot but make sure to keep the door I’m hoping locked that the Oh god Mira, mi amor moonlit please don't panic Házme un favor! sky they stopped the music Despiérta la abuela y a lo shows and everyone is mejor ella tiene una vela! its way pushing and shoving and Estuve bailando cuando tonight. (?) vino el apagón (?) Aqui hay Don't worry (?) gente pero I’ll be home soon. and I don't know why (?) no sé quienes son! (?)
[USNAVI]
Excuse me Usnavi’s coming through, please move
Jesus Christ dude, who cut the fucking lights
In Washington Heights?
Nice, just when the plot was thickening
The pulse is quickening
Frankly, I find it sickening
That every other neighborhood in New York
Is sitting up in their air conditioning
Times Square is glistening
But there’s no electricity for this fixety-up town
We’re crushing each other
Bum rushing up in the club now
Some major power source must have burnt out
I’m sure you want to learn how
The Nina and Benny romance turned out
No doubt
I took a seat rear out to my store, gave out candles
Opened the hydrant for the kids, watched for vandals
Blackouts bring acts of bravery and cowardice and
Tonight’s so hot you’ll need another shower, Miss
I guess I’ll pour myself another amaretto sour
Cuz there’s not much to do when you’re literally powerless

[VANESSA]
Nina, are you okay?

[NINA]
I’m fine, where’s Benny?

[VANESSA]
He could be anywhere, c’mon we gotta get away

[NINA]
I’m not leaving until I find him. We were so close

[VANESSA]
Some nights that’s how it goes

[NINA]
We were this close

[VANESSA]
I know

[CAMILLA AND KEVIN]
Better [?] the candles, look how ready we are
We used to have these blackouts every other night in DR
Because the moon is casting shadows on the street in the night
I hope the kids are somewhere safe and that they’re doing alright
