|
A film producer returns to his plush LA home in his smart convertible
after a production meeting.
|
 |
 |
|
What should he find in the driveway? The van owned by the local maintenance man and pool
guy.
|
 |
 |
|
He enters and heads for the bedroom to find... a freshly vacated marital
bed. A comedic fight ensues when the lovers enter the scene.
|
 |
 |
|
When the fight is over and people dash away in their
cars, we get a glimpse on the Asian groundskeeper.
|
 |
 |
|
A car screeches along a hillside road in LA, viciously swerving across the road.
A woman hangs out of the car screaming and whooping. In my mind there is no doubt that this road is Mulholland Dr.

The light colored sedan is being
followed by a black
limousine.

The protagonist orders a hitman
named Wheezy Joe to kill the woman he is deeply in love but who betrayed
him. Joe is handed a document to help
him identifying the victim.
