Chasing Trade Winds

Scene from a dinner

• The Setting: Fade in to a small, very popular Japanese restaurant in Los Angeles. All the tables and the sushi bar are full of patrons, enjoying some of the best Japanese food in the area. Several Japanese families are there, as are your typical well-heeled So Cal rich hippies. The lights dim slightly.
• Waitress, carrying plate of ice cream with one candle: Everyone we have a birthday! Let's all wish a warm happy birthday to Lulu who is here with her kids and their partners and her husband celebrating! (Starts singing. Lovely elderly woman Lulu is smiling at her family.)
• Fat drunk man at sushi bar wearing fluorescent swim trunks with elastic band and a sweater: Lulu's a ho! (Slams beer on counter and looks up, apparently surprised by his own outburst.)
• And scene.
