FREESTYLE CLUB BALCONY
{Ben and Mal walk out onto the Freestyle club balcony for a chat over some hot chocolate}
Ben: But seriously, you have an amazing voice. You're a singer right?
Mal: Just church choir is all. I tried to do a solo and nearly fainted.
Ben: Really? Why is that?
Mal: I took one look at all the people staring at me and next thing I knew I was staring at the ceiling. End of solo career.
Ben: Well with the way you sang tonight, that's pretty hard to believe.
