ZUMAYA pets Alcotan, meets RICK at Madrid cafe

RICK sits at outdoor cafe table, leans back in chair, smokes w cup of coffee in left hand, newspaper on table, The African Cur, Alcotán, dozy at his feet. ZUMAYA approaches RICK table, looks down at dog

ZUMAYA

May I pet him?

RICK

I don’t know Miss, but he’ll let you know.

ZUMAYA kneels, pets Alcotán.  Dozy, he rolls over, shows belly, legs straight up in air.

ZUMAYA

He’s handsome. What breed is this your dog?

RICK

Oh, he’s not my dog, Miss.  He’s a stowaway.  Now he won’t go away. Take him with you if you like.

ZUMAYA

No, it’s clear he loves you

RICK

Love? He kind of adopted me.

ZUMAYA

Oh?  Where was that?

RICK

Africa.  He seems to think I’m HIS stray.

ZUMAYA

Perhaps like you, he is smarter than he looks.
