Few people can say that.  \nBut I can.  \nIn an instant, the script of my life went into “rewrites.” My black-and-white world turned Technicolor with a dizzying sequence ofFADE INs and FADE OUTs.  \nAnd it went something like this.  \nFADE IN:  \n• SEPTEMBER 8, 1958  \n• FIRST DAY OF ON-LOCATION SHOOTING IN CORONADO, CALIFORNIA  \n• INTERIOR, MARILYN MONROE’S COTTAGE (DAYTIME)  \nI was guided into the star’s room.  \nI saw nothing but Marilyn Monroe’s face.  \nEverything else faded away.  \n“I’d like to introduce Miss Penny Parker.” My escort backed away, leaving me front and center.“She’s going to be with us during our time here at The Del.”  \n“You’re the contest gal…the winner.” Marilyn blinked in slow motion, just like in her movies.  \n“Yes. Yes, I am. But I’ve never thought of myself as much ofa win—” I stopped speaking and wished I could eat those last words.  \nMarilyn hummed as her eyes took a walk all over me.“They told me I’d have an extra pair of hands during this shoot. How lovely.”  \nI glanced down at my hands.  \n“Not your hands, honey. I meant how lovely to have you with us.” Marilyn scooped some of her platinum bangs to the side and took a step forward.  \nI repeated the same words in my head. Don’t blow it. Don’t jinx it. Don’t blow it. Don’t jinx it—  \n“The pleasure’s all mine, Miss Monroe. Truly.”  \nI was so determined to not come across as some silly star-struck spectator and I was successful for all of about ten seconds.  \nMy eyes stretched wide open to the size of hub caps as I added,“God Almighty. You’re so much more beautiful than your photographs and movies.” My words exploded like popcorn tap dancing in hot oil. Her stunning beauty, however, made me instantly feel the opposite of beautiful.“Did that just come out of my mouth? I’m so sorry. I think and speak atthe sametime…and usually I speak more than I think.”  \nI’d blown it.  \nI’d jinxed it.  \nAfter a few awkward moments of silence while my heart rat-a-tat-tatted in my eardrums, Marilyn flashed a wedding-dress white grin.“I can see we don’t need to coax you out of your shell.” She added,“We’re going to get along famously. I’m certain of it.”  \nMarilyn turned on the ball of her bare foot. The glamourous, camera-ready waves of her hair followed her with a momentary delay and a slight ricochet effect. Marilyn studied her reflection  \nin the sliding-glass door and then in a floor-length mirror. She peeled open her white terry-cloth beach wrap and dropped it to the ground.  \n“Penny, give me your first impression. What do you think of this swimming suit?”  \nA not-so-subtle wave of Chanel No. 5 passed over me, along with an undercurrent of sweet vanilla.  \nI took a few steps forward and my right foot collided with a coffee table leg that I didn’t see because I couldn’t stop looking at her. When I did gaze down to see what caused the clinking sound, I spotted three nearly empty white-ceramic custard cups settling back into their places. Oddly, there were no spoons.  \n“I’m such a klutz. And that just scared the bejeezus out of me.” I put some fingers over my lips.“I sure hope The Del doesn’t have a you-break-it-you-bought-it policy or I’ll be broke before I leave this room!”  \nI shrugged and squinted like a child who just spilled a glass of milk.  \nMarilyn licked the spoon in her hand—which I hadn’t noticed until that moment—and winked at me. We exchanged a knowing-sort-of look. It was clear who’d emptied those custard cups.  \n“You’ll have to excuse my lack of manners today.” Marilyn shifted the spoon to her left hand and reached out her right one.“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Penny.” Her skin was as soft as a grandmother’s kiss.  \n“Well, what do you think…about this getup?”  \nI inspected Marilyn’s front side, then glanced at her backside. Was she expecting me to say vava-voom or something like that? I just couldn’t.“It’s just awful. Doesn’t do a thing for you.” Ishook my ","cbCaict4FFywx342","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaict4FFywx342","pdf",387923,"English","# Chapter 1\n## Bedroom invitation and “rewrites”\n## Meeting Marilyn and first dialogue\n## Swimming suit impressions and mishap\n## Costume discussion and upcoming surf scene","[{\"question\":\"Why does the narrator describe the encounter as “rewrites” in the script of her life?\",\"answer\":\"The narration uses film framing, with “fade in” and “fade out” cues, to show the moment unfolding like a movie scene rather than real-time life.\"},{\"question\":\"What happens to the custard cups during their conversation?\",\"answer\":\"The narrator notices three nearly empty white ceramic custard cups back in place, with no spoons, indicating they were disturbed earlier.\"},{\"question\":\"What is Marilyn preparing for by the end of the chapter excerpt?\",\"answer\":\"Marilyn says the script requires her and the orchestra girls to be in the surf that afternoon, along with Jack.\"}]","My Friend Marilyn - Chapter 1 - On-Location Shooting Scene | PDF"]
