ACT 1

Scene 1

An elevator.  Wood paneled.  Well kept. Elegant.


1
            My god, that’s an Ike Baher Lavender and Gold?

2
            Yes. It is.

1
            I remember my first Lavender and Gold

2
            Hmm.

1
            I’m in between right now.

2
            A Saturday shirt?

1
            Of course…the collar.

2
            My first, believe it or not, was used to wrap a Baume and Marcier

1
            My God. What a birthday!

2
            Yes – Christmas. It was wonderful.  I kissed my wife for the first time that night.

1
            Oh. A wife. I didn’t know.

2
            No – she’s fine.
                                    (Pause)
            She loves this shirt too

1
            …the Lavender and Gold is special -- so much quality.

2
            Indeed. Have you met Ike Baher?

1
            Well…his son.

2
            Yes, of course.
                        (Pause)
            Do you happen to drive the Lexus I saw outside?

1
            No, an Infinity actually.

2
            A 56?

1
            An M37

2
            My God a wonderful car.  Elegant. My word.

1
            Ah…my floor.  So soon.

2
            Are you with the firm?

1
            A consultant. But I should be here for a while.

2
            Excellent.  It was a pleasure.

1
            Certainly.
