               INT. SAINT PAUL HOTEL CAFE

               Victor joins Cynthia who is already seated for breakfast with
               juice and a couple of donuts.

                                   CYNTHIA
                         Good morning.

                                   VICTOR
                         Good morning to you.  Looks like
                         you are getting started.

               Victor picks up one of Cynthia's donuts

                                   CYNTHIA
                         Breakfast of champions.

               Victor sits across from Cynthia and they look at each other
               for a moment.

                                   VICTOR
                         So do live in the hotel?

                                   CYNTHIA
                         No, I just have what you might call
                         a standing room.  A long story that
                         I will tell you some day.

                                   VICTOR
                         Tell me now.

                                   CYNTHIA
                         No.

               Victor takes another look at Cynthia's donuts.

                                   CYNTHIA
                         Are you hungry?  You better get
                         your own donuts.

               Cynthia gets the attention of KATHY.  KATHY is 61 and has
               worked for the hotel for 30 years.  Kathy and Cynthia are
               friends.  Kathy comes to the table.

                                   KATHY
                         Hi Cynthia.

               Cynthia introduces Victor to Kathy.

                                   CYNTHIA
                         Kathy this is Victor.

               Victor shakes hands with Kathy.

                                   KATHY
                         Pleased to meet you.  I've heard a
                         lot about you.

               Victor looks at Cynthia.

                                   KATHY
                         Just kidding.  Can I get you
                         something to eat.

                                   VICTOR
                         I'll just have a couple donuts and
                         some orange juice.

                                   WAIT PERSON
                         Two plain cake donuts and a large
                         orange juice?

                                   VICTOR
                         Sounds good.

               Kathy leaves the table.

                                   VICTOR
                         So you know everyone around here?

                                   CYNTHIA
                         Most of the older generation.

               There is a pause in the conversation.  Cynthia and Victor
               look at each other.  Cynthia takes a bite of her donut.

                                   CYNTHIA
                         You've been hanging around that
                         park for some time.

               Victor nods his head.

                                   CYNTHIA
                         I see you sometimes, and then not
                         for weeks.

                                   VICTOR
                         I'm a drifter.

                                   CYNTHIA
                         A drifter.

                                   VICTOR
                         I get in here a couple times a
                         month.

                                   VICTOR
                         I would see you to.

               Cynthia and Victor look at each other.  Victor looks hard at
               Cynthia and then Cynthia breaks the stare with a funny face.

                                   VICTOR
                         Always a little scared to say hi.

               The Wait Person comes back with the juice and the donuts.
               Cynthia and Victor pause in there conversation while the wait
               person is at the table.  The wait person gives them both a
               look as she leaves.

                                   CYNTHIA
                         So it's a good thing I invited you
                         up for a massage.

               The camera will pull out of the cafe to the front of the
               hotel and we will continue hear some of the conversation.  I
               bus will drive between the camera and the conversation,
               providing our transition to Cleveland.

                                   VICTOR
                         A good thing.

                                   CYNTHIA
                         Do you enjoy it.

                                   VICTOR
                         Yes!

                                   CYNTHIA
                         Good.
