I’m a Leo.

MORALES A kid from the Ivory Coast named Didier Toure, said he knows you.

BRENDA SYKES

I know Didier. Sure. MORALES How do you know him?

BRENDA SYKES I met him when I was over there. He tried to sell me a carving, had those gorgeous eyes I couldn’t stop looking at and so one thing led to another. We actually stayed in touch for a while. MORALES When’s the last time you saw him? BRENDA SYKES It’s been years. KILLIAN He says he’s been in touch with you recently. BRENDA SYKES

Probably he had a dream. Africans don’t always distinguish between what’s a dream and what’s real. Morales notices a picture of Brenda and a man -- MORALES That’s Ari Lustig, isn’t it? BRENDA SYKES Uh huh.
