CARCANOGUES ...Mm. ED Well? How'd she do? This elicits a Gallic frown of consideration. CARCANOGUES Ze girl?... She seems like a very nice girl. She *plays*, monsieur, like a very nice girl. Ztinks.

Another gallic moue: CARCANOGUES Mistake, no, it says E-flat, she plays E-flat. Ping-ping. Hit the right note, always. Very proper. ED I don't understand, no mistakes, she's just a kid--I thought you taught the, uh, the-- CARCANOGUES Ah, but that is just what I cannot teach. I cannot teach her to have a soul. Look, monsieur, play the piano, is not about the fingers. *Done* with the fingers, yes. But the music, she is inside. Inside, monsieur... A two-handed gesture, indicating his heart. CARCANOGUES ...The music start here... He waggles his fingers: CARCANOGUES ...come out through here; then, maybe... His wave takes in the heavens: CARCANOGUES ...she can go up there. ED Well, look, I don't claim to be an expert-- CARCANOGUES Then you listen to me, for I am expert. That girl, she give me a headache. She cannot play. Nice girl. Very clever hands. Nice girl. Someday, I think, maybe, she make a very good typist.
