Scenes from the LA lifestyle

By simon on December 28, 2008 in Personal, Travel

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.

MAN

    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.

SIMON

    Those are British coins. You've got... one pound twenty-five. About a buck seventy-five US.

MAN

    Oh, wow. Ok, so, like where can I use these?

SIMON

    England. Or you could try to find a Brit and see if they'll exchange them for a dollar.

MAN

    Awesome. Thanks! Um, so do you know Brit?
