BOB:
Yeah.
LYDIA (O.S.)
(calls in background)
Zoe, come say hello to your father...
A little girl's voice shouts "No!" in the background.
LYDIA (O.S.)
I guess she's busy.
BOB:
That's ok.
LYDIA (O.S.)
When are you coming home?
BOB:
Tomorrow.
LYDIA (O.S.)
Her ballet recital is Saturday, don't
forget.
BOB:
Ok.
In the background the daughter calls for her Mommy over and
over and a dog starts barking.
LYDIA (O.S.)
Ok, well, travel safely. See you
soon.
BOB:
Bye.
CUT TO:
EXT. ICHICAN SUSHI RESTAURANT - DAY
Charlotte, with sunglasses on, leans against the wall as Bob
approaches.
CHARLOTTE:
You can't get sushi anywhere in Japan
after 2 o'clock. Did you know that?
BOB:
No, we'll find something around here.
She goes with him.
CUT TO:
INT. SHABU SHABU RESTAURANT - DAY
Bob and Charlotte are seated at a big booth in a corny Shabu
Shabu restaurant.
CHARLOTTE:
The Jazz singer? The red-head?
Bob looks at her like- don't make it worse.
CHARLOTTE:
Well, I guess she's more around your
age... You guys could talk about
things in common, like growing up in
the fifties.
BOB:
You're a brat, wasn't there anyone
else around to lavish you with
attention?
She scowls at him.
The waitress brings them drinks- she pours beer slowly, and
turns on a pot on the table to cook their food.
Charlotte looks at the menu - it is filled with photos of
different trays of meat. The waitress doesn't speak English.
CHARLOTTE:
I can't tell the difference?
They have trouble ordering, but point to a picture on the
menu.
BOB:
We'll have two of these.
He makes some small talk, she is bugged.
BOB:
What do you want to drink?
CHARLOTTE:
A coke.
He orders the drinks.
BOB:
So, where'd you go today.
CHARLOTTE:
Around.
"This is the End" by The Doors starts playing on the stereo.
The waitress brings two huge trays of sliced raw beef. Steam
rises from the pot on the table.
The song ends, and another Doors song comes on.
CHARLOTTE:
They're not going to play the whole
album, are they?
They look across the table, over the steam and meat, at each
other- the whole thing is awful.
FADE OUT:
INT.CHARLOTTE'S HOTEL ROOM - NIGHT
In the darkness, under covers, Charlotte is woken up by a
loud fire alarm.
CUT TO:
The fire alarm booms as the hotel guests and staff hurry out
of the hotel.
Amidst the crowd of Hotel guests in their pajamas, Charlotte
finds Bob- he's wearing a kimono and slippers. She's in boxer
shorts and an undershirt and slippers.
BOB:
I'm sorry.
CHARLOTTE:
That lunch was the worst, huh.
He laughs.
She looks down at his feet stuffed into the little hotel
slippers.
CHARLOTTE:
When are you leaving?
BOB:
Tomorrow.
CHARLOTTE:
(friendly)
I'm going to miss you.
BOB:
That's what you said the other night.
CHARLOTTE:
Well, I mean it more now.
CUT TO:
and Charlotte, still in their pajamas, sit at their usual
spot at the bar, with the bartender, drinking cold sake. She
lights two cigarettes and passes one to him.
A NEW JAZZ BAND is now playing. The SINGER is full of
enthusiasm as they start their stint at the Park Hyatt.
NEW SINGER:
Good Evening. I'm Carl West, and
we're thrilled to be joining you
this week, here at the NY bar in
Shinjuku.
He sings "Where or When" with all his heart.
Now, old-timers there, Bob and Charlotte look at each other
and chuckle.
SINGER:
Jt seems we stood and talked like
this before, we looked at each
other in the same way thenr but
