INT. ELLIOTT’S MANSION - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT<br />
A couple of hours later. The guests are now gathered around<br />
Elliott as he opens his birthday gifts. Gretchen is next to<br />
him on the couch.<br />
Amidst the torn wrapping paper we see top-of-the-line<br />
sporting equipment, rare Scotch, objets d’art...<br />
Walt and Skyler are on the outskirts of the crowd, party<br />
smiles plastered to their faces as Elliott unwraps a shiny<br />
black ELECTRIC GUITAR. Elliott is tickled.<br />
ELLIOTT<br />
Oh, wow, a Stratocaster...<br />
The gift-giver, an eccentric MUSIC PRODUCER akin to Phil<br />
Spector, pipes in:<br />
MUSIC PRODUCER<br />
Not just any Strat. That’s one of<br />
Clapton’s.<br />
No way.<br />
ELLIOTT<br />
MUSIC PRODUCER<br />
And he signed it for you.<br />
Elliott takes a closer look to read the inscription.<br />
ELLIOTT<br />
“To Elliott. Sorry about the<br />
buckle rash. Eric Clapton.”<br />
Laughter from the crowd. Elliott flips the guitar over to<br />
see where the varnish was worn away by Clapton’s belt<br />
buckle. Cool.<br />
MUSIC PRODUCER<br />
Next time you’re in London, he’ll<br />
give you a lesson.<br />
ELLIOTT<br />
Thanks, man. This is beautiful.<br />
The music producer flashes him the peace sign. Everyone<br />
applauds in appreciation of this rad gift, which probably<br />
cost a small fortune.<br />
Walt and Skyler are obviously uncomfortable amidst all this<br />
extravagance.<br />
