In this short scene, Linda explains her relationship with her boyfriend, a singer-songwriter named shawn. She tells him that shawn's first hit record came out at the age of nineteen, and he was hailed as a "show singing genius" by the music press. He was depressed by the pressures of the music business and was not able to write good songs. Linda is sorry that she did not get some inspiration from shawn, but she is determined to make her "mural opus" .
