Scene # 21 — A bar on Main Street, USA

Danny walks in and meets Eddie, already drinking, at the far corner of the bar.

Danny — Hey Eddie! Drowning your sorrows?

Eddie — They’ve learned to swim… what’s up?

D — You gotta help me out… I’m in deep shit with Amy.

E — Again? What’d you do this time?

D — Nothing. She’s still involved with Donald, you know. Can’t shake him off… That guy’s such a creep! You know that; everybody knows that, for Christ’s sake! I can’t believe she got with him in the first place…

E — Calm down. You need a drink. What are you having?

D — A Manhattan. Double. What the hell is that you’re drinking? It looks terrible!

E — It’s a ´Pastis´. It’s French. You know me: different drink every time I order. I’ll have a Czech beer next. So tell me what happened. I thought you guys were back together again… I mean, you used to be so united!

D — I know! But she went into my office and trashed the place! We had that huge argument in November… I had told the concierge to keep her…
