MISSY: Memory is a tricky thing. You need a system to remember things, especially if you're going to be deliberate about it - if you're going to hold onto it long term.
CLAUDINE spots a picture and laughs. She speaks to MISSY and the audience as if they’re a friend.
MISSY only nods and smiles in response, as she works with her note cards.
CLAUDINE: Oh Lord, look at that hair! He always had that hair on him.
MISSY's objective is the memory game. She constantly turns the cards as she speaks.
MISSY: A system. A story. A mnemonic device.
CLAUDINE: You couldn't get scissors near that hair, I tell you.
MISSY: The more outlandish the story or the device, the better.
CLAUDINE: One time, he hid an entire bag of Swedish fish in that hair.
CLAUDINE laughs some more as she looks through the photos.
