Imogen's Piano Recital

Getting ready
[Imogen comes downstairs wearing a black and gold dress with flowers on the skirt and her hair in a low ponytail with a white headband]

Robert: "Hey, there's my beautiful piano girl. You ready for your recital?"

Imogen: "Yep."

Robert: "I'm glad. If your grandpa we're here to see this, he loved Scott Joplin when he was a kid. He also loved The Sting."

Imogen: "I'm glad."

Robert: "Good. Let's all get in the car."

Imogen's turn
Mrs. Brennan: "Now we have Miss Imogen Panizza performing 'Solace.'"

[Imogen walks up to the piano and turns to page 2 in her The Sting music book]

[Belinda grabs her phone and videotapes Imogen playing Solace]

Robert: "Oh, Dad, I wish you could see your wonderful granddaughter performing your favorite song from your favorite movie."

[Belinda wipes a tear as Imogen is playing the beautiful melody]

Robert: "Honey, what's wrong?"

Belinda: "Nothing. Our wonderful daughter practiced real real hard."

[Right next to Belinda, Joshua flips off Imogen whole she is playing]

Belinda: "Joshua, please enjoy your cousin performing on the piano."

Joshua (yelling): "SCREW THIS SONG!!!!!!"

[Everyone ignores it]

Belinda: "Esther, it's up to you."

Esther: "That's it! You are getting a timeout right now!"

[Esther drags Joshua to the corner of the church]

Esther: "You better be on your best behavior in timeout! You do not flip anyone off while they're performing!"

[When Imogen reaches the end of the song, she receives a standing ovation from the audience]

[Imogen curtsies and waves to the audience]

Imogen (breaks down in tears): "Oh, thank you."

[Imogen joyfully cries as she exits the stage]

Recital aftermath
[Imogen wipes a tear as she hugs her family]

Imogen: "You were right, Dad. Grandpa would love this."

Robert: "I was indeed. We are so proud of you, Imogen."

Imogen: "Thank you, everyone for coming."
