Interior, an all-night caf\u00e9 with soft lighting. Israeli folk music plays, as a few sparse customers sip tea, some reading books, others quietly conversing. An aging hippie with a long beard stops at the table where a young(er) TELLY sits with his laptop open, engrossed and typing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
JOMBOVI: Here is your mat\u00e9. Can I get you anything else right now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TELLY: Oh, lovely, no, thank you, this is good for now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
JOMBOVI walks away, and TELLY returns to his manuscript: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
