Rob, Annie and Alvy in Rob's car pull into a long circular driveway as an
attendant walks over to the car. A sprawling house is seen to the right; a
couple moves toward the front door, and the driveway is crowded with other
parked cars. Loud music is heard.
ALVY
(Getting out of the car)
Hey, don't tell me we're gonna have to
walk from the car to the house. Geez,
my feet haven't touched pavement since
I reached Los Angeles.
INT. HOUSE
A Hollywood Christmas party is in session, complete with music, milling people,
circulating waiters bolding out trays of drinks. It's all very casual. French
doors run the entire width of one wall; they are opened to the back lawn,
guests move from the room to outside and back in. It is crowded; bits of
conversation and clinking glasses can be heard. Two men, California-tanned,
stand by the French doors talking.
1ST MAN
Well, you take a meeting with him, I'll
take a meeting with you if you'll take
a meeting with Freddy.
2ND MAN
I took a meeting with Freddy. Freddy
took a meeting with Charlie. You take
a meeting with him.
1ST MAN
All the good meetings are taken.
CUT TO: FULL GROUP SHOT
A man stands talking, people in groups behind him. Two born like gadgets are
attached to his shoulders; he's wearing a bizarre space costume.
3RD MAN
Right now it's only a notion, but I
think I can get money to make it into
a concept ... and later turn it into
an idea.
