TEXT: Voice over: "Los Angeles. You see it at night and it shines. Like a beacon. People are drawn to it. People and other things. They come for all sorts of reasons. My reason? No surprise there. It started with a girl." Angel sits at a bar, playing with a glass sitting in front of him. He appears to be slightly drunk. Angel: "She was a really, really pretty girl. No she, she was a hottie girl. She, she had - I mean - her hair was... You know? - -You kind of remind me of her. Because, because - you know - the hair. I mean - the hair." He looks over at the guy sitting beside him. It is a burly black guy with a clean-shaven head. Angel turns his head and glances over his shoulder at a group of three guys and two girls playing pool behind him. One of the guys comes and leans on the bar next to Angel and says to bartender: "We want to cash out." Angel looks up at him with a drunken grin: "Girls are nice." Laughs. The guy gives him a disgusted look. Bartender: "Here you go." Guy to the others: "Okay, guys, let's go. Let's go find some real fun." The five pool players leave and Angel straightens up in his chair. After a beat he gets up no longer laughing and follows them out. Cut to Alleyway beside the bar: Blond girl: "You guys really know the doorman? I mean you can get us into the Lido?" 1.Guy: "I don't want to go clubbing anymore. I want to party, right here." Grabs the girl. 1.Girl: "Hey back off!" (pushes him away) 2.vamp grabs 2.girl. 1.vamp grabs 1.girl by the throat: "Shut up and die!" (vamps out) Angel walks up apparently drunk: "Excuse me.'scuse me. I'm sorry. But has anybody seen my car? It's big, and it's shiny." 1.v
