  "The English Patient" begins with a love story, an impossible love. The entire work is a perfearrative, a tale tailored for sideration of what the Oscars should represent: a love story that be called the epitome of tear-jerking romance.

  Billy acts as a Turkish mapmaker, part of an expedition team. The jourarted to head to Marrakech. Both people wao keep their distance from the cold farewell from Gwyh upon seeing Winona with the traveling team, the team that carried him, the team that was at a distant reach.

  -It was somewhat unfortable, - Billy eo Winona.

  She simply nodded, feeling a bit uneasy. Everything was unfolding in a way that bothered her. The issue turned out to be a noticeable ge: Billy's hairstyle is now short, with spiky hair. He's thinner but more muscur. A strionth diet has shed almost six kilos, coupled with exercise to give him the appearance of a well-traveled man. Billy's beard, along with other details, makes him look much older, a few years older, with a few tweaks.

  -Don't worry; we're making a movie. We have to make the movie... we must immerse ourselves as much as we . You must be the woman that 'Katherine' should be, and I must be Almásy. We must perpetuate our emotions in the film, - Billy ented.

  For Almásy, someone serious, strong, who represses his emotions, whets everything aes himself to deep, expressive but subdued emotions. The way everything unfolds... the fear, the dread, and the dark way love is sustained. Love is filled with betrayals, full of deep, remembered emotions, over time and the end, a world that blurs the liween good and evil in a disturbing pulse of madness.

  -A perfect movie, - Winona murmured.

  -More than deep love, we must py with denial, deny, prohibit, but we must be passionate, deep, sublime, - Billy said.

  Despite everything, the s of his system was more than anything else; the points ied in interpretation, the skill dedicated to improving his ag abilities, reached into the thousands. The , the way to add and tinue improving, was the intrinsic ability that any aust have. Perhaps now, it was necessary to surprise them with his performances. It was fair that he tio act, fair that he tio take the spotlight in his movies.

  Points: 8450

  -We'll do the work as much as we , - Winona ented. Without paying attention, many actors were already arriving in Morocco. The cast was undoubtedly admirable, mostly British, and Almásy, Billy, was one of the few Ameris, with a young William Dafoe, widely known for his many roles but fotten and remembered oain occasions.

  -I know you're talented; many sidered various actresses, but everyone decided that you were simply the best for the role. It's all your qualities that make you a star, - Billy ented, p how to win the Oscars for Winona. His desire to perform was so intehat Michelle's advice was beginning to wane. Billy's dedielted anyone; now he could even be sidered a world-css actor. Overall, it was a culmination of so many things, seeing deeply into the character, the infamous English patient, now present.

  -You're inviting Gwyh; she seemed angry, - Winona stammered, guilt weighing on her shoulders. She had seen how Billy ied and practiced with the blonde, and it was intense.

  -She has a free pass to participate; it's just that her schedule is booked, - Billy ented, sketg on the pne. He was estimating the end of the first arc of One Piece, inally expected to have 100 episodes for the beginning of the East Blue arc. However, Billy, knowing many situations beforehand, expahe story by adding more mysteries that would be answered in different timeframes. He included subplots about Trafalgar Law and Kid, stories about the Marines but cealed and unexpined, and tales of other characters from the weion and Kaido's crew. Adding mystery upon mystery, different timelines, and evoking new characters.

  Winona observed everything with growing disfort. - Why are we sitting together? - she thought. - First-css had nice seats, and the produ team mostly traveled together on a first-css flight with the best airlines avaible to Morocco, a city different from all expectations. -

  -Do you have a problem with that? - Billy questioaking note of his drawings.

  -It's just that I thought we weren't on good terms, but you've acted as if nothing happened, and it's sg me, - Winona said.

  -Are you afraid that we're together? Or are you afraid of the cat getting your tongue? - Billy teased.

  -No, idiot. Stop misinterpreting everything, - Winoed.

  -Well, I did it on purpose, - Billy admitted, to Winona's astonished look. - Don't bme me; it's just a way to front you. You've been very prickly during rehearsals. -

  -It's because I already know yame; you're everything I despise in a man, - she said, closing the deal. Long chats with her friends made it clear that she should steer clear of Billy.

  -As you wish, - Billy responded, fog ohing, wanting to disdain and free himself from burdens. He uood clearly that, for now, women would only be a problem, and it's better to focus on his career. The departure of Alice, as his only partner, was his expectation. There was no one else who aroused true i. Gwyh was just a passing i; the chemistry sted less than two months. Now he uood how special his retionship with Alice was, above his other retionships. In two lifetimes, Alice was his best retionship.

  EXT. BASE CAMP AT POTTERY HILL.

  A new, smart pne, a STEERMAN, makes a smooth nding o desert. The expedition team heads to greet the newers. Almasy is not with them. He is walking, seemingly less enthusiastic. A young couple kissed and newlywed, exits the phey are GEOFFREY AND KATHARINE CLIFTON. It's immediately clear that Katharine is the woman from the pne act at the beginning of the movie. Madox makes all the introdus. Handshakes hello all around as the couple disembarks with their leather flight gear. Geoffrey removes his helmet and, in what we will e to know as a ubiquitous gesture, pulls out a bottle of CHAMPAGNE and pops the cork with a flourish.

  Clifton: Hereby christened Iional. Sandfly Club!

  The party is in the shade of the tents.

  Almasy joins the group.

  Madox nods towards Clifton's pne.

  Billy observes everything well-ahey're shooting in the desert; the heat is stifling and causes dark sensations of terror, making it quite challenging due to the temperature. He feels the sand on his face, but his character doesn't mind that.

  Madox: Wonderful pne. Did you look?

  Clifton: (smiling at Almasy) Isn't it? Wedding gift from Catherine's parents. I'm calling it Rupert Bear. Hello. Geoffrey Clifton.

  Madox: Finally, we hand over my old bird... to the scrap heap.

  Almasy smiles and walks over to the others.

  D'Agustin: Mrs. Clifton—t Almasy.

  Katharina: (smiling, her hand) Geave me your monograph when I was reading about the desert. Very impressive.

  Almasy (stiffly): Thank you. Almasy's role is to be different.

  Katharina: I wao meet a man who could write such a long article with so few adjectives.

  Almasy: A thing remains a thing no matter what you put in front of it. Big car, slow car. Car, chauffeured car, still a car.

  Clifton: A broken-down car?

  Almasy: Still a car.

  Clifton: (joining them and handing out champaghough not much good.

  Katharina: Love? Romantic love, ptonic love, filial love—very different things, surely?

  Clifton: (embrag Katharina)Uxorioushat's my favorite kind of love. Excessive love for one's wife.

  Almasy: (dry smile) There you have me.

  -Cut, - director Anthony Magnolia responded.

  Billy wiped the sweat from his forehead; the tration of his mind tio cause a series of discertments, and his method of carrying out activities was to proceed with extreme caution. He didn't deny that the director was discertingly strict.

  -You were great, - Billy said, handing Winona a gss of water. The director stopped her three times because he sidered Winona's performansuffit. She cked expression or exaggerated on the edges.

  -Not at all; I've never felt so questioned,- Winona ented.

  -ractice tonight. I instances, I've noticed that you hahings with mystery. Be soft on the edges, be happy. Katharine is a happy woman, and she has her charm. We'll do everything tonight, - Billy ented.

  -That sounds good. I hope I measure up, - the young woman responded, lost ihoughts about what had happened. Had she bee pt with her abilities, and now she was being questioned in different ways than before? Was she just a pretty face?

  -Just keep ag. I think if we take on more challenging roles, you improve your skills. You already know how to act; it requires great skills to embody roles. Some require you to be musical, others require you to be a killer, a fighter, or a chef. It depends on the role and the iy, - Billy ented.

  -Alright, let's go to the trailer and tinue practig, - Winona said. The attention of Anthony Mignaelia had thrown her off. Instead of being treated gently, as she was aced to, she was treated harshly. She couldn't open her eyes because it was improper for the role. She had to be smiling and stop portraying drama with a bnk face.

  They were joined by Mr. Clifton, a man portrayed by Firth, who had graduated from the drama school i Britain, and his skills were magnifit for his retively short experience.

  -You indeed have very big eyes, - said Firth.

  -Hey, you cheeky, - Winona replied, pyfully hitting him.

  -It's good that you have big eyes, but you repeat the gesture too much, and it bees a tic. The director saw it and wants to correct it. When you make expressions, it will stand out the moment you open your eyes, - ented.

  -As brilliant as always, . I think I'll take a break. We'll shoot some ses tonight, - Billy ented, stepping out of the trailer. Everything was ready to proceed.
