36. Serenade - Leslie

• FADE IN:


• EXT. CITY STREET - NIGHT


• JACK sits in the back of his small pickup truck, plucking his guitar.


• He leans against his guitar case, covered in paint and stickers and looks up towards the glowing windows of the office building towering above him.


• He counts the windows, lips moving silently until he finds the window he wants.


• He begins to sing, serenading the street around him in Spanish.


• An SUV drives past, curious faces plastered on the glass.


• Jack doesn't waver, and continues to play, his fingers dancing across the strings.


• A figure appears at the window, and a small smile plays across his face.


• He strums louder, his voice weaving a heartbreaking melody over the Spanish sounds.


• INT. HEWITT and LEVY - NIGHT


• AMBER stands by her window, looking out at Jack.


• JILLIAN walks up behind her.


• JILLIAN
• How many nights?


• Amber
• This is night number 1095.


• JILLIAN
• Impressive. So you never told me who...


• Amber plays with her wedding ring.


• Amber
• We grew up together...one of those bad timing things...we just never realized we loved each other at the right times.


• Jillian looks at the ring.


• JILLIAN
• Did you? Have you?


• Amber
• He won't talk to me...he just...just comes every night. Always disappears before...


• EXT. CITY STREET - NIGHT


• Jack stows his guitar in the case, and slides it into the cab; he turns, waves to the window, then enters the car.


• FADE TO BLACK.
