EXT. BEVERLY HILLS HOTEL - NIGHT

Establish

INT. BEVERLY HILLS HOTEL - CORRIDOR OUTSIDE ROOM 214

A Hotel Manager is walking toward the door of room 214. He
knocks softly on the door. The door opens and Adam Kesher is
standing there - still beaten looking with remnants of pink
paint.

ADAM
Yes...what is it?

HOTEL MANAGER
I'm sorry Mr. Kesher, but there seems to
be some problem concerning your credit
card.

ADAM
... What??

HOTEL MANAGER
The fact is Mr. Kesher a representative
of your bank called us.

ADAM
How... how'd they know I was here?

HOTEL MANAGER
I don't know. All we do is take an
impression of the credit card and until
you check out it just sits in our files.

ADAM
So, what did they say?

HOTEL MANAGER
Well, Sir, I'm afraid they said you're
overdrawn at your bank and your line of
credit has been cancelled.

ADAM
Unbelievable. Look... here.
(Adam taking out his wallet.)
I don't know what's going on.
That's so much baloney. I've got enough
cash for one night, okay?

HOTEL MANAGER
That's fine, Mr. Kesher. You can pay
cash when you check out. I'm sorry. it
was my duty to inform you.

ADAM
Fine. I'll check out in the morning.

HOTEL MANAGER
Have a good evening, Mr. Kesher.

The Hotel Manager turns to leave and Adam closes the door.

CUT TO:

INT. ROOM 214 - NIGHT

Adam crosses the room to the phone and dials a number. The
phone is answered.

ADAM
Someone's shut off my money!

CYNTHIA
I know. Where are you Adam?

ADAM
What do you mean "you know"?

CYNTHIA
Someone called me. When they couldn't
get you they told me you were as good as
broke. I didn't believe then, so I made
some calls.

ADAM
And?

CYNTHIA
You're broke!

ADAM
But I'm not broke.

CYNTHIA
I know, but you're broke. Where are you?

ADAM
Beverly Hills Hotel. I've got enough
cash in my pocket for one night.

CYNTHIA
Do you know somebody called the The
Cowboy?

ADAM
The Cowboy??

CYNTHIA
Yeah, the Cowboy. This guy, the Cowboy,
wants to see you. Jason said he thought
it would be a good idea.

ADAM
Oh, Jason thought it would be a good idea
for me to meet the Cowboy. Should I wear
my ten gallon hat and my six shooters?

CYNTHIA
Something tells me this guy is connected
with what's happening, Adam, and I think
you should do it and I think you should
do it right away.

ADAM
Cynthia...what's going on?

CYNTHIA
It's been a very strange day.

ADAM
And getting stranger. Where do I meet
this Cowboy? I mean do I have to ride
out to the range?

CYNTHIA
Sort of, funny boy. If I tell him the
meeting's on you're to go to the top of
Beachwood Canyon. There's a corral up
there where he'll be.

ADAM
You gotta be kidding?

CYNTHIA
Will you meet with him?

ADAM
Yeah, sure. It is that kind of a day.
When?

CYNTHIA
I'll call him, then call you back...If
you want you could stay at my place.

ADAM
Cynthia... that would not be a good idea.

CYNTHIA
I'm just offering a place to stay.

ADAM
I understand, Cynthia and thank you for
the offer. I'll find a place. Now go
ahead and give the Cowboy a yodel and get
back to me.

CYNTHIA
Okay, but you don't know what you're
missing.

ADAM
Git along little dowgie and call me back.
