Hi, this is Elaine Belloc -- What can I do for you?

Oh. I...wanted to know if I could work at the Lux.

Of course you can. What job d'you think you'll like?

I could...learn how to serve.

[Not very appealing. What were the other jobs? Bartending, piano--]

Piano?

A waitress?

[Yeah. That sounds boring to her too.]

Do you know how to play it?

[She doesn't. But...]

I'm a fast learner.

Cool. So I am.

[She laughs briefly]

I've never run a piano club before. Why don't you come over?

[She smiles.]

Okay. [A beat.] Now?

If you like.

[She pauses. She needs to go out and do things later, so--]

Now's good...if that's okay.

Sure. I'll be waiting.
