INT: Ground Zero - Day. Barista yelps behind counter.
BARISTA: Does somebody have a red Nissan Juke parked across the street? The city is towing your car.
Exit Corey. Frazzled. Oy.
EXT: Curbside. Wide shot. Tow Truck. The Jew & His Juke. Traffic Cop.
COREY: Oh my gosh are there parking restrictions here? I saw a bunch of cars parked across from the cafe and figured it was ok.
TRAFFIC COP: You see that sign that says no parking 4:00-5:30.
POV: Sign.
COREY: Oh man.
TRAFFIC COP: What time is it?
POV: Watch.
COREY: 4:18.
EXT: Willy Street. No cars parked.
TRAFFIC COP: We need both lanes to keep traffic moving from 4:00-5:30.
COREY: Shoot. I just moved here, been here for 3 days. I'm really sorry.
TRAFFIC COP: What do you think of the car? You like it?
COREY: It's great!
TRAFFIC COP: I'll go ahead and exit out of this screen. (POV: Ticket Generator.) That way you won't have to pay the towing fee, just the $45 parking citation.
COREY: Ok, I appreciate that.
TRAFFIC COP: So seriously, anything you don't like about this car? I'm going to get one.
END.
Thanks Ground Zero barista. Because of you I didn't have to go find my car last week. Because of you I could stay and work (which is awesome thanks to free WIFI, ample tables and strategic outlets) while I sipped on the best cold brew I've found in Madison. The search continues, but after four places, you guys are tops!
