Little Secrets Page #3

Synopsis: Emily Lindstrom, 14, is an aspiring concert violinist; she's spending the summer practicing for a big audition while her girlfriends are at camp. She's also got a thriving neighborhood business: for 50 cents, she'll keep your secret. Her mother is very pregnant, and her parents seem more concerned about the new baby than anything Emily cares about. A new family moves in next door; their son, Philip, 12, becomes Emily's friend. Eventually, the weight of Emily's secrets - her own, the ones she's keeping professionally, and a secret Philip tells her, send her life temporarily crashing down.

- What are you doing here?

You didn't tell us you made

a friend already. Come on in.

I'm Elaine and this is my husband Don.

Emily is our next door neighbor.

- Hi.

- Hi. It's extremely nice to meet you.

This might sound odd,

but could I borrow your TV?

Just to watch something.

The program is just about to start.

We don't have cable yet,

but we can set the TV up with rabbit ears.

I don't get it. Don't you have a TV?

My Dad thinks the Braves are

more important than the concert series.

You hear that, Phil?

That means classical music.

- Philip!

- Don't worry.

I wouldnt expect your son

to appreciate fine music.

When Phils nana died,

she Left him her baby grand piano.

I've been trying to get him

to take Lessons for two years now.

So, Emily, do you have

brothers and sisters?

No. Yes, soon.

My parents always wanted another child,

but my mom couldnt get pregnant.

Now, at 40-something,

the miracle baby is on its way.

We have Philip. He's 12.

- 12 and a half.

- David's packing for camp. He's 15.

- And you're...

- 14.

- I got it.

- Channel 11, please.

Okay.

There you go.

I didn't mean to intrude on

your first night in your new home.

No, Emily. It's a pleasure having you.

If you were 21,

we'd invite you to toast with us.

Come on, honey, Lets get back to work.

So what are you doing?

I wouldnt normally tell a stranger,

but since I'm in your house...

I Like to pretend that I'm in the symphony.

I get the piece and practice all week and...

...you'll see. Can you hold this?

Live from Washington, D, C,,,,

Why don't you just get into a symphony?

Kurt Bestor conducts Innovators,

Who's this?

Yeah, nice to meet you, too.

I'm in Love, Pauline.

Samuel Cardon is a dream in concert.

That's not Love, Emily.

True. I have stronger feelings

for Kurt Bestor.

Maybe we should shift your focus

from musicians to music.

The Mendelssohn, to be precise.

Okay, just one more thing.

- I don't know if this is asking too much.

- You sounded great.

Is there any way

you can get me into the concert?

We could go together,

and you could visit your friends backstage.

Then maybe I'd get to meet Kurt?

I wish I could, Em, but I used up my favors

for the year. Let's begin.

Okay.

- What's up, Fill-it-up?

- Well...

...David's off to tennis camp,

and my mom's decorating stuff.

And my Dad started his new job.

- It's tough being the new kid.

- What do you want me to do about it?

I don't know.

Take me downtown. Show me around.

Afraid not. I was just going to practice.

Don't you have to take a break

once in a while?

Ill tell you what.

- Do you want to join me for high tea?

- I do.

What is it?

A lot of musicians take time out
