 A Night Out
PART 1
1 OUTSIDE A TALL BUILDING—LATE AFTERNOON
2 Alberto and Rebecca look up at a new, relatively tall building.
3 ALBERTO You see that building. . . I was part of a team of architects that designed it.
4 REBECCA Really? That’s very impressive.
5 ALBERTO Thank you. It was a challenge. We had to design it to withstand earthquakes.
6 REBECCA It must be a little nerve-racking to live with the threat of earthquakes.
7 ALBERTO Yes and no. Most of the time you don’t even think about it. But then the next
8	little tremor comes along and you think it’s the big one.
9 REBECCA Oh, great!
10 ALBERTO Don’t worry…I promise…no earthquakes…tonight…So, are you ready
11	for your next San Francisco treat?
12 REBECCA Mm-hm.
13 ALBERTO Yeah? OK.
14 THE PALACE OF FINE ARTS
15 Rebecca and Alberto walk around this San Francisco park.
16 REBECCA This place is magnificent.
17 ALBERTO It’s the Palace of Fine Arts.
18 They enter the rotunda.
19 ALBERTO It was built in 1915 as the centerpiece of the Panama-Pacific Exposition.
20 REBECCA I’ve never seen anything like this before.
21 ALBERTO Yeah. It’s a fine example of neoclassical architecture. . . Oh, I’ve got a surprise
22	for you. Listen. Hello! Hello!!!
23 His voice echoes.
24 REBECCA Oh, listen to that echo. What a great place to record a song. Maybe I’ll come
25	back here some day and record one of my own songs.
26 ALBERTO You know, I’ve never heard you sing. Would you sing for me?
27 REBECCA You don’t want me to sing here.
28 ALBERTO Yes, right here.
29 REBECCA Well, I don’t have my guitar...
30 ALBERTO Just…just a little song.
31 Rebecca sings a simple lullaby. Alberto enjoys the song.
32 REBECCA (singing) Go to sleep
33	The stars are brightly shining
34	Go to sleep
35	The moon is on the rise
36	Our life’s a dream
37	We barely know we’re dreaming
38	‘Til I see the light that’s shining in your eyes
39	‘Til I see the light that’s shining in your eyes.
40 ALBERTO You have a lovely voice!
41 REBECCA Thank you.
42 ALBERTO Did you write that song?
43 REBECCA (nods) No, my mother wrote it. I used to sing it to my brother when he was a
44 little boy.
45 ALBERTO Oh. What’s your brother’s name?
46 REBECCA Kevin.
47 ALBERTO Is he younger or older?
48 REBECCA Younger. He just graduated from high school.
49 ALBERTO Are you two close?
50 REBECCA Yeah, very close. Our mother died when we were very young. And I took care of
51	Kevin…until now.
52 ALBERTO Well, your mom left you a beautiful song.
53 They smile at each other. Rebecca nods in agreement.
54 ALBERTO Would you like to see the Golden Gate Bridge?
55 Alberto offers Rebecca his hand.
56 REBECCA Yes. I’d love to.
57 They walk off holding hands. Rebecca’s song is heard in the background.
	58	Go to sleep
	59	The stars are brightly shining
	60	Go to sleep
	61	The moon is on the rise
	62	Our life’s a dream
	63	We barely know we’re dreaming
	64	‘Til I see the light that’s shining in your eyes
	65	‘Til I see the light that’s shining in your eyes.
PART 2
66 PIER—SUNSET
67 Alberto and Rebecca are watching the sun go down.
68 REBECCA It’s beautiful. . . the way the light hits the buildings.
69 ALBERTO This is one of my favorite places.
70 REBECCA Do you come here often?
71 ALBERTO As often as I can.
72 The two of them watch the sun as it goes down. Alberto leans over and talks softly to Rebecca.
73 ALBERTO So, are you ready for dinner?
74 REBECCA To tell you the truth, I’m starving.
75 ALBERTO Great. I know this cozy, little restaurant. . . the best food in the city.
76 The two walk off hand in hand.
77 OUTSIDE THE MENDOZA RESTAURANT—NIGHT
78 Atberto has parked the car in front of a restaurant and he and Rebecca are walking toward the door.
79 REBECCA What kind of food do they serve here?
80 ALBERTO Can’t you guess?
81 REBECCA Spanish?…Tex-Mex?… Mexican?…
82 Alberto shakes his head after the first guess; indicates “so-so” after the second; and shows a definite “yes,”
83 after the third.
84 ALBERTO Got it.
85 REBECCA Good, I love Mexican food.
86 MENDOZA RESTAURANT
87 Alberto and Rebecca walk into the restaurant. Immediately, a woman comes out and hugs Alberto.
88 MOTHER !Que sorpresa! No te esperaba por aqui.
89 ALBERTO (He responds to his mother in Spanish.) Déjame presentarte a una amiga. Let me
90	introduce you to my friend, Rebecca.
91 MOTHER It’s so nice to meet you, Rebecca.
92 REBECCA Nice to meet you too.
93 A man comes over to meet them. Alberto introduces Rebecca to his father.
94 ALBERTO Papa, I’d like you to meet Rebecca Casey. This is the woman I met in the desert.
95 FATHER Hello, it’s a pleasure to meet you.
96 REBECCA How do you do, Mr. Mendoza?
97 FATHER Welcome to our restaurant.
98 REBECCA Thank you.
99 FATHER So, are you two hungry?
100 ALBERTO Si. Tenemos mucha hambre.
101 MOTHER Oh, if you’re hungry this is…the right place to be.
102 He seats Rebecca and Alberto.
103 FATHER Well, come sit down. (to Rebecca) Here you are…Alberto. (handing them the
menus) Um, let me tell you what are the specials, tonight.
105 ALBERTO	Papa...
	106	FATHER	(correcting himself) Let me tell you what the specials are tonight.
	107	 REBECCA	What a charming restaurant you have, Mr. Mendoza.
108 FATHER Well thank you. We’ve worked very hard to build a good reputation. . . but soon
109	it will bel6ng to our sons. My wife and I are retiring.
110 ALBERTO You see, my father’s trying to bring me back into the business. . . but I think one
111		son’s enough.
112 FATHER Well, forget about the specials, huh? I recommend the chicken enchiladas.
113 REBECCA That sounds good. I’ll have the chicken enchiladas, please.
114 ALBERTO And I’ll have the chile poblano relleno.
115 FATHER Muy bien. I’ll bring a bottle of wine for the table.
116 REBECCA Great.
117 ALBERTO Thank you.
118 The father goes off, leaving Alberto and Rebecca alone.
119 REBECCA I didn’t expect to meet your parents!
120 ALBERTO Relax. I can tell they like you.
121 REBECCA That’s not the point.
122 Alberto gives Rebecca an amused look.
123 MENDOZA RESTAURANT
124 In another part of the restaurant, Alberto’s mother and father have a private conversation.
125 MOTHER She seems nice, huh?
126 FATHER She’s pretty.
127 MOTHER He always finds the pretty girls, but…
128 FATHER Don’t start again, huh?
129 MOTHER He’s almost thirty years old! It’s time to settle down.
130 FATHER Mujer, no te metas en lo que no te importa.
PART 3
131 MENDOZA RESTAURANT
132 REBECCA Mm, Alberto, this is delicious.
133 Rarnón Mendoza walks over to the table to greet Alberto and his date. He is a serious, handsome man
134 of thirty-four.
135 ALBERTO Hi there. Rebecca, this is my brother, Ramón.
136 RAMON It’s a pleasure to meet you, Rebecca. (They shake hands.)
117 REBECCA Nice to meet you.
118 ALBERTO Why don’t you pull up a seat?
119 RAMON All right.
140 ALBERTO Ramón runs the business here, for my parents. He’s the dutiful son.
141 RAMON Somebody has to do it.
142 ALBERTO (changing the conversation) Rebecca’s from Boston. She’s here to study at the San
	141	Francisco College of Music.
144 RAMON Congratulations! An excellent school, from what I hear . . . You know, I want my
145	son to take music lessons.
146 REBECCA It’s good to start as young as possible.
147 Suddenly, Alherto’s cell phone rings.
145 ALBERTO Excuse me. Hello . . . what? Hold on a minute. (to Rebecca) I’m sorry. It’s . . it’s
	149	work. If you’ll excuse me for a minute?
150 REBECCA Sure.
152	 RAMON	So…you must be excited about going to music school.
	153	REBECCA	Yes, if I can find a way to pay for it.
154 RAMON	Oh. . . is there a problem?
	155 REBECCAWell, I was supposed to have a job at school. . .but it fell through because of
	156		budget cuts.
	157	 RAMON	So, you’re looking for something else?
	158	REBECCA	I tried an employment agency and answered some ads, but, no luck...
	159	RAMON	Maybe you can give guitar lessons to my son, Alex.
	160	REBECCA	Well, maybe… I did teach some kids in Boston. How old is he?
	161	RAMON	He’s—he’s ten. (taking a picture out of his wallet) Here’s a picture of him…it’s a
	162		little old.
	163	REBECCA	Oh, he’s adorable.
	164	 RAMON	He’s a good kid. I wish I could spend more time with him but… this restaurant
	165		takes up so much of my time...
166 Rebecca looks at Ramón and sees his concern for his son. He puts the picture away.
	167	 RAMON	You know, I just remembered. . . They’re looking for someone at Alex’s after-
	168		school program. Maybe you should call the director.
	169	 REBECCA	An after-school program?
	170	 RAMON	Yeah, you know, uh. . . sports, music, arts ‘n’ crafts.. . I’ll give you the director’s
	171		name and number. Call her tomorrow. Tell her I recommended you.
172 He takes out a pen and writes down the woman’s name and number.
173 REBECCA Thank you, that’s very nice of you.
174 RAMON Oh, sure.
175 He gives her the card just as Alberto returns.
176 ALBERTO (joking) Ramón! I leave the table for a minute, and you’re giving Rebecca your
177	phone number?
178 RAMON I just had an idea for a job for her.
179 ALBERTO (joking) Yeah, well it wasn’t washing dishes here, was it?
180 RAMON No, I’m saving that for you.
181 ALBERTO Well, I found out I have an early meeting tomorrow morning. . . so I’m afraid it’s
182	gonna have to be an early evening.
183 RAMON If you’ll excuse me, I have things to do in the kitchen. Good talking to you.
184 REBECCA See you.
185 ALBERTO Bye.
186 Ramón leaves.
188 Rebecca and Alberto walk to the front of Nancy�s house.
189 REBECCA Thank you so much for dinner and the tour.
190 ALBERTO You�re welcome. I�m glad you enjoyed it. I�ll call you tomorrow or the next day.
191 REBECCA (smiles and nods) I�d like that.
192 Alberto leans over and kisses Rebecca on the cheek. Alberto leaves. Rebecca waves goodbye and then enters
193 Nancy�s house.
