PEDDLER: Oh I come from a land
From a faraway place
Where the caravan camels roam
Where they cut off your ear /Where its flat and immense
If they dont like your face /And the heat is intense
Its barbaric, but hey--its home!

Stop on by
Hop a carpet and fly
To another Arabian night!

I mean, that hardly stretches him.
His food stretches me.
Oh, come on, yaar.

He doesnt wanna be disrupted. He needs his beauty sleep for those bankers.

Downtown L.A. Noon on a hot summer day. On an EXTREME LONG LENS the lunchtime crowd stacks up into a wall of humanity. In SLOW MOTION they move in herds among the glittering rows of cars jammed bumper to bumper. Heat ripples distort the torrent of faces. The image is surreal, dreamy... and like a dream it begins very slowly to...

He said he was pulling out.
Then he threatened me.
