The Woman in Pearls
Seville Bar
Oliver stops in front of the old bar. On the wall, is a faded photo of a woman wearing a pearl necklace.
He stares at the pearls. His hand hovers over the door and pushes it open.
Dimly lit. A BARTENDER wipes a glass, gives Oliver a knowing glance.
BARTENDER
You again.
Oliver stiffens. The bartender studies him.
Oliver takes a seat at the bar, setting his phone on the counter.
OLIVER
Can I get a beer?
The bartender exhales and slides him a drink. Oliver takes a swig.
CHOICE (needs buttons)
- Ask about the woman with pearls
2. Ask about last night
Oliver’s phone rings again. He looks up at the bartender but he’s gone. He lets the phone ring.
BARTENDER
(yelling across the room)
When you’re done with that get out. We’re closed.
Oliver chugs the rest of his drink and slams it on the counter.
