ACT FIVE, Scene 4 (THE CREW GOES TO A KARAOKE BAR):

INT. THE LOBBY OF A KARAOKE BAR, LATE NIGHT

(KANG, THE CASHIER, STANDS BEHIND THE COUNTER.)

(ENTER THE ENTIRE RESTAURANT CREW, EXCEPT FOR AUGUST, LED BY DESDEE AND EUNICE.)

Desdee (in a highly stylized, operatic voice): “Long ago…”

(THE CREW GIGGLES.)

Lázaro: If it quench thee, Desdee, I can again thy former light restore.

Soon-ji (to EUNICE): These are the sheets you have made as you had asked.

Eunice: All’s well, goodness, how foolish are our hearts?

Desdee (to EUNICE): Now turn the key and keep our council.

(JAE-SAHN AND LAZARO APPROACH THE COUNTER.)

Kang: We have room 12 available.

(EUNICE, DESDEE, EFRA, AND SOO-JIN PROCEED TO THE BACK.)

Jae-sahn: You got bottle service?

Kang: Ek-cho-lee, you just press this button…

(KANG PULLS OUT A REMOTE FROM BEHIND THE COUNTER.)

Kang: and the wait staff will come and serve you.

Jae-sahn: How much to rent a room for two hours?

Kang: Eight dollars per person, per hour.

Lázaro (immediately): Ninety-six dollars.

(JAE-SAHN PULLS OUT HIS WALLET AND PAYS IN CASH.)

(THEY TAKE A SEAT ON ONE OF THE COUCHES. JAE-SAHN SIGHS.)

Jae-sahn: “What a day, what a day…”

Lázaro: So is everything straight with you and Eunice now?

Jae-sahn: It’s getting there.

Lázaro: If you but think yourself of any crime, not reconciled as yet to see our cause, solicit it, let it be straight.

Jae-sahn: Heaven forbid to love with such a heart.

Lázaro: She is honest. For if she be not honest, chaste, and true, there’s no man left happy on Earth. Forgive me my mistake if it was I that put it in your head. So let the gentle Eunice thus beguile. The free sentence from which thence thy hours bear bot’ the sentence and the sorrow that, to pay grief, must of poor patience borrow. But words are words, though yet I offen hear that the bruised heart is pierced through by the ear.

Jae-sahn: By flint these stones were carved, still I’d rather take on such a hazardous mission than to put her up for public exhibition.

Lázaro: This reversal of fortune will soon be taught, desde mi alma entera, it cannot be bought. I vouch for her therefore beg it not.

(THE DOOR CHIMES AS GABRIEL ENTERS THE KARAOKE BAR SMILING WITH HIS ARM WRAPPED AROUND A GIRL’S SHOULDERS. JAE-SAHN AND LAZARO LOOK UP.)

(THEY BOTH NOTICE JAE-SAHN’S BANDANA STICKING OUT OF GABRIEL’S BACK POCKET AT THE SAME TIME AND IMMEDIATELY STAND UP.)

(GABRIEL SMIRKS.)

(JAE-SAHN BEGINS TO TREMBLE WITH ANGER.)
