INT. ATLANTA HYATT HOUSE, ELEVATOR - WIDE - NIGHT

Graham riding up with two half-drunk CONVENTIONEERS with big
"Hi" badges. One Conventioneer is looking over at the lobby
below.
A good-looking woman in a floral dress walks underneath them.
Graham is leaning against the glass.

CONVENTIONEER #1
...like to rip me off a piece of that!

CONVENTIONEER #2
Fuck her 'til her nose bleeds.

The other cracks up.

GRAHAM
snaps alert and stares at Conventioneer #2.

CONVENTIONEER #2
sips his gin and tonic, senses Graham's stare. He smiles:

CONVENTIONEER #1
What the fuck are you lookin' at?

Graham looks away. The elevator stops. The door opens.
Conventioneer #1 drags Conventioneer #2.

CONVENTIONEER #l
(being pulled out of elevator)
What are you, a faggot?

Both Conventioneers laugh as they walk down the hall.
Conventioneer #1 wiggles his fat hips and apes a limp wrist
Graham looks away.


Here we have a different version of Graham's journey in the lift.

Whether or not this was actually filmed is unknown
but it is a possibility as the scene actually used in
the movie is a little brief considering the cost of using
a real location such as the Atlanta Hyatt House.
