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.
