EXT. BEACH - MORNING

Hannah sits looking out to the ocean.

Contemplates.

She crumbles up the tin foil she was eating her cake out of, and (because no one is looking) drops it on the ground and brushes some sand over it. When she gets up she sees a hot dog vender not TOO far away.

EXT. HOT DOG VENDER

Hannah walks up to the stand. It must be early because the vender, who looks to be in his late 40s, hasn't even started grilling yet.

He's bent over fetching what he needs in the cooler.

HANNAH

Hey. I see you're not open yet?

The vender faces up to Hannah.

VENDER

Uh, no, not yet sorry. But it shouldn't take too long sweetheart.

Hannah

Well I have all the time in the world, so don't mind me.

VENDER

Is that true. Well I hope the wait is worth it. I been doin' this for 20 years, so I hope my cuisine meets your standards.

He laughs obnoxiously, and whips out the ketchup and mustard.

HANNAH

Oh I'm sure it will. I once ate a half eaten hot dog out of the garbage without even being hungry.

VENDER

(pre-occupied by setup)

You weren't.

HANNAH

No, I was just bored. Luckily I didn't get food poisoning or anything. I mean, it wasn't a public garbage. It was at my apartment, because my friend Marnie didn't want to gain any weight.

VENDER

(places dogs on the grill)

Hey a girls gotta eat ain't she.

HANNAH

Yes she does.

VENDER

You remind me a lot of my son. He'll eat anything. He once ate two fucking 12 inch meatball subs. Just loaded with meatballs.

HANNAH

Oh really.

VENDER

Yeah, but you know what they say, great minds eat alike.

Hannah humors him with a forced laugh.

VENDER

You know my boy's single. He hasn't had a girlfriend since highschool, and I'm starting to think he might be a fag. You interested?

HANNAH

Actually I just broke up with my boyfriend last night. So I am single. But-

VENDER

It's too soon.

HANNAH

Yeah. I mean it's not even that. I just think it's time to be more worried about my own problems. You know.

VENDER

Oh yeah, of course of course.

Hannah

(convincing herself)

Yeah.

VENDER

Well, they're almost done. How many you want?

HANNAH

Oh crap. Actually, I just remembered I got my handbag stolen.

VENDER

So you have no money?

Hannah puts on a guilty smile.
