Hi people here are the dialogues:
For scene 1:( done by Lin Hui and Li Yi)
Where: Master Bedroom
Who: Alice, Richard, Malanie
What: Alice overheard parents’ (Richard and Malanie) conversation about an adopted child and she suspects herself to be the adopted child.
-Richard and Malanie quarelling about Richard leaving the birth certificates of their daughters lying around. Malonie is scared that the truth would be revealed should the girls see the birth certificates.
-Alice wants her father (Richard) to sign her report book and overheard her parents’ conversation, leading to the misunderstanding.
-Upon hearing the word “adoption”, she thought that it was herself who was adopted and left the scene before the actual truth was revealed (Anna was the adopted child).
-Anna flashback about her happy past.
Dialogue:
Malanie: Any idea where I found these birth certificates?
Richard: By the table, I guess.
Malanie: Crap, they are lying on the floor!
Richard: Did I leave them there? Sorry! (Pick BCs up0
(Alice walks to Master Bedroom with her report card and overhears the quarrel.)
Malanie: Enough! I have enough of your stupid blunders! What would happen if they discover these certs? They would know that they are not biological sisters! Do you know how sad Alice would be?
(Alice walks away)
Richard: Fantastic, I get blamed for everything! I just want to forget all this.
Malanie: Genuises we are! Why did we adopt Anna in the first place? If only we knew Alice would come into our lives sooner or later! (Sighs)
(Spotlight on Alice)
Alice: How can this be possible? Anna and I are not biological sisters?
But we were so happy together!
Am I the adopted one? Is that why Mum always praise Anna?

(Anna enters scene)

Scene 3: Done by Chiou Chyong and Xinda
Where: At the dining room
Who: Richard, Melanie,( angel and devil part of Melanie) Anna and Alice
What: Alice rudely demands for the truth from her mother regarding her true birth. Unbeknownst to her, Alice was not the one adopted but it was Anna. Melanie could not take the pressure anymore and blurts out the truth in her which she has been hiding secretly for years. This resulted in chaos in the family.
Malenie: Alice, Anna, dinner's ready! (Preparing dinner)
Anna: Beef, eggs and salad, great! Even better, dad's with us tonight!
Alice: (hesitates) Can I ask you something, Mum?
Malenie: Darling, what is it? You seemed troubled! (Looked concerned)
Richard: Eat your dinner first, Alice.
Alice: Father, last night, I had accidentally overheard your conversation that one of us is adopted. Am I the one? (seething)
Malenie: Godness! Isn't the beef tasty? You should really try one, Alice.
Alice: Heck care to the food! Who is adopted? Is it me or Anna? How can you keep the truth from me! Who are my real parents? ( slams her knife and fork on the table and stands up)
Richard: Insolent girl! Apologise to your mother! How can you speak to your mother in this kind of manner? Did we teach you to be rude? Apologise to your mother immediately! ( bangs his fists on the table and stands up)
Malenie: Jesus, what is happening? Richard sit down; and Alice, (pauses for a few seconds) No one is adopted, no one!( The devil part of Malenie is acting up)
Anna: Keep your mouth shut, Alice! Can’t you see that mum is troubled and is weeping over your harsh words? How can you say that we are adopted? Who told you that one of us is adopted? ( hesitates) Who told you…
Malenie: Lies, and lies, deception and more trouble! ( Angel part of Malenie is acting up) How can I hide the truth… for so many years…oh Richard…( clung on to Richard ) ( attempts to leave form the table)
Alice: ( in a very sharp tone): Mother, what do you mean by the ‘ truth’ and the ‘years’? Is there something that you did not confess? Out with it, for part of the truth is revealed to us. There is no point in hiding it when the truth is staring blatantly in front of our eyes.
Malenie: Not that I refused to tell you, my daughters ( tries to hug Anna and Alice, crying at the same time) the truth is too hard to bear… you wouldn’t want to know…( moves away from her daughter, leans her head on the wall) ….I can’t tell…I can’t tell…I can’t tell…( mumbled softly) …Anna is the adopted one… she is the adopted one…not Alice…Oh what have I done…what have I done? Forgive me, Alice, forgive me…( stumbles back to her room)
( Richard chases after Malenie and Anna sprints back to her room)
Alice: Oh what have I done? What have I done? ( Buries her head in her hands. She is all alone at the dining table)
