[ANCHORPERSON, spoken]
We interrupt this program
Tragedy in Paris, killed in a car crash, Princess Diana of Wales
[YOUNG AMÉLIE]
Her fingers slip
The bottle drops
And falling in slow motion
The bottle hits
The stopper rolls across the bathroom floor
And hits a wall
And with a click
It's like a tiny trapdoor opens
[AMÉLIE]
A tiny hole, a metal box
A rusty hinge, a broken lock
[AMÉLIE & COMPANY]
Slowly crack the treasure open
[AMÉLIE]
Cat's eye marble, diecast car
A pocket knife, a chocolate bar
A watch that's waiting to be wound,
A treasure waiting to be found
I am Howard Carter stepping into Tutankhamun's tomb
[HIPOLITO, spoken]
Each object in the box was a breadcrumb leading to a dazzling idea
[AMÉLIE]
Give back the box
[GEORGETTE, spoken]
Wherever the owner was, she would find him and return his childhood
[AMÉLIE]
I have to try
[GINA, spoken]
If he was touched, Amélie would become an anonymous do-gooder
[JOSEPH, spoken]
That would be her mission; anonymous good-deed-doer.
[AMÉLIE]
If I did, I could be like Lady Di!
