Scenes from the LA lifestyle
Apropos to the location, I offer a few vignettes of recent days, in the theme of screenplay.
EXT. STREET - SUNSET BOULEVARD, NEAR THE STRIP - DUSK
ANDREW, late-20s stocky Aussie, and 30-something SIMON wander down the Strip, on their way to find The Viper Room. A haggard-looking YOUNG MAN idles by, with a battered guitar in his hand and a dirty military-surplus backpack. He stops in front of our wanderers.
- Woah... some lady just gave me this change, but I don't like know what it is?
He hold out his hand, in which three coins lie. Simon looks at them curiously, turning one over.
- Those are British coins. You've got... one pound twenty-five. About a buck seventy-five US.
- Oh, wow. Ok, so, like where can I use these?
- England. Or you could try to find a Brit and see if they'll exchange them for a dollar.
- Awesome. Thanks! Um, so do you know Brit?
