Rain-drenched, raincoatless, umbrella-free Brian enters
the empty, armchairless cafè, setting off an alarm.
The room has exceeded its recommended capacity!
Alarmingly, the sound is not coming from the jukebox.
The waitress casts off her black apron and darts out.
(All things come to those who wait.)
Brian exhales — imparting the glass door with
an opacity-surpassing quality — and f(inger-p)aints: CLOSED.
