Split and Unpleasant are exiting a store. The sounds of traffic are visible.
Unpleasant: "Do you think shopping mall in California is open tonight?"
Split: "Yeah. Probably."
Unpleasant is carrying the case that contains Split's guitar.
Split has gotten five hundred dollars from the ATM.
Split: "Here." (Giving the money to Unpleasant)
Unpleasant: "Split..." (he puts a hand on Split's cheek)
He kisses Split, then pulls away.
Unpleasant: "Love you."
Split starts to form a smile.
Split: "You love California."
Unpleasant: "I give you back Monday."
Split: "That's okay."
She picks up the guitar case.
Split: "I um- I probably won't be there anyway."
Unpleasant: "Why no?"
Split: "I don't know." (Pauses for a moment) "I think... now have more sympathy for the strikers."
Split: "See ya."
Split walks away.
Unpleasant: (watching Split walk away) "Stupid American."
Unpleasant looks down and the other way. He walks the other way. He turns his around one last time, before walking away completely.
