MASON:

Ugh, friggin, gross.

He spits and throws the actual ball then reaches in his pocket, pulls out his phone and answers it fumblingly.

MASON:

Hello? Sh*t, hello?

PETER:

Dude! Are you in Japan yet?

MASON:

What’s up, dick?! No not yet. Where’d you go last night? Me and Meg were looking for you out back but you were gone, homie. You alright?

PETER:

Ya, bro. Me and Kelly went to Habanas, and that’s all I got. I’m still hurtin’. Bro I thought you were gonna make out with that old man. Seriously, I thought you’d have your bags packed by now. You think you got a story?

MASON:

Dick, I ain’t got jack. I mean, I guess I’m thinking about it a lot, but it just seems crazy. I’d kill to talk the old man again.

PETER:

He said his daughter works at Sakura. I remember that much cuz it started making me hungry as sh*t. Go see her!

MASON:

Ya maybe. He said her name, do you remember? What are you guys doing tonight?

PETER:

I don’t know. Reeni or somethin. Not drinking. (Laughs) You? Packing a bag maybe?

MASON:

Going to Meg and Mikki’s. Trying not to beat the brakes off Lee.

PETER:

That guy’s a tool. Don’t take any crap man. Tell him I said hi.

MASON:

Oh for sure. Hey me and D are just getting ready to leave the dog park, I’ll shout at you later alright? Drink some gatorade or something. Smoke a bowl. Whatever.

PETER:

Alright bro, tell your sister I said hi, for real.

MASON:

Alright man, later. Delilah come!

Delilah comes to Mason and sits in front of him. He leashes her, then stops and looks her in the eyes.

MASON:

What do you think, D? A little trip? You wouldn’t be able to come on this one. Japan again. (SIGH) Hopefully a little better than last time.

The two leave the dog park and start walking with some purpose down the street. Off in the distance we see Lake Washington below the Seattle skyline. A slow zoom out.

5 - INT. - SAKURA JAPANESE RESTAURANT, LUNCHTIME, BUSY - DAY

The restaurant bustles with lunch goers. It’s loud. A mix of Japanese and English, laughter and conversation. Dishes clanging and fires cooking an overwhelming potpourri of fresh food. Cherry Blossom’s are everywhere. A woman walks to a table with a tray of sake and other accoutrement for Japanese dining. As she arrives at the table we see Mason is seated. They bow their heads slightly to one another as she places the tray on his table.
