<h3>SCENE 06</h3>
<h1>OPENING NIGHT</h1>
<h3>6:18 PM</h3>
<p>Still outside.</p>
<p>The light has not disappeared yet.</p>
<p>The plaza is blue at the edges.</p>
<p>Inside, everything is warmer.</p>
<h3>IN YOUR HAND</h3>
<p>A ticket checked twice even though it has not moved.</p>
<p>A program you will read before the film and keep afterwards.</p>
<h3>ON YOUR ARM</h3>
<p>The first coat this autumn that feels necessary rather than optimistic.</p>
<h3>AFTER</h3>
<p>One glass.</p>
<p>Another address, maybe.</p>
<h3>PLAY</h3>
