INT. BAR - NIGHT #8#

Dim, warm light, same familiar bar. A low thrum of music under the chatter. Julia sits at the bar with a glass of wine, still half-full. She’s already buzzed, her hand loose around the stem. She studies the glass, takes another sip, eyes a little unfocused. A HUM starts, everyone in the bar oblivious except her, which is then CUT by the appearance of MIKE, who leans in next to her.

MIKE

You here alone?

JULIA

Is that a crime?

MIKE

Not at all. But I'd hate for some random guy to bother you when you're trying to have a drink in peace.

JULIA

You're right, that *would* be terrible.

MIKE

So what are you drinking?

JULIA

Why? Trying to get inspired?

Mike nods.

JULIA

Wine. White wine.

MIKE

Classic.

JULIA

You're not very good at this, are you?

MIKE

I'm Mike.

JULIA

Julia.

MIKE

And why are you sitting here alone, Julia?

JULIA

Maybe I like it that way. Keeps the random guys guessing.

MIKE

Ah, shit. Walked right into that one.

(beat, he tries again)

Long day?

JULIA

Long year.

It lands heavier than he expected as he sees Julia's face. He gives a polite nod.

MIKE

You take care.

On Julia as she tries to hold it together.
