The One About Crystal's Memory

Luigi's Cafe.  CRYSTAL, as always in faded wedding dress and veil, is in the corner with a cup of tea, reading a book.  Close in on the cover: 'The Secrets of Solitary Witches - And How To Make Your Spells Work.'

LENA, early 20s, attractive, and her friend SARAH, 20s, who wears a starched white uniform, having breakfast.  LUIGI himself and ROSALINDA, his daughter, working.  Elsewhere, two men in fluorescent jackets and hard hats on the table.  This is HARRY (late 30s) and his supervisor KENNY (early 40s), who we saw briefly in The One About Hal.  See a craggy man, JOSEPH, coming in.  He's probably in his late 50s or early 60s, it's difficult to tell.  There's something of the vagrant about him.  He goes up to CRYSTAL.

JOSEPH

Mind if I join you?

CRYSTAL

(Looking up from her book)

Help yourself.  (She gives him 

a smile)

JOSEPH

Much obliged to yer, ma'am.

CRYSTAL

Think nothing of it.

JOSEPH

Who's the lucky fella?

CRYSTAL

(After a long moment)  I'm

ashamed to say .. I've forgotten.

JOSEPH

That can't be good.

ROSALINDA comes over to take JOSEPH's order.  JOSEPH looks at ROSALINDA, and then looks at CRYSTAL.  He doesn't have any money.

JOSEPH

Next time .. it's on me.
