21 OMIT

22 EXT. RAYO'S - MOMENTS LATER

Sebastian sips a coffee as he gazes across the street -- at

a 30's Deco building. A sign above the door: "VAN BEEK". A

newer sub-heading below: "TAPAS & TUNES".

Revision 10.

The door opens. Two EMPLOYEES step out, setting up a valet

stand. Sebastian watches them -- and shakes his head. The

employees notice him. Recognize him. What is it with that

guy...?

23 INT. SEBASTIAN'S APARTMENT - DAY

Sebastian enters his apartment -- cramped, dingy, bare

walls, no furniture or decoration, boxes filled with dusty

black-and-white photographs and unused instruments on the

LAURA:

She shakes her head: Unbelievable. Tosses the rug to the side.

LAURA:

When are you going to unpack these boxes?

SEBASTIAN:

When I unpack them in my club.

LAURA:

Oh my God. It's like a girl broke up with

you and you're stalking her.

SEBASTIAN:
