Around the house are old cars in various stages of restoration. Behind the house, animal pens crowd among the cars. A zoo: colts, rabbits, donkeys, a kangeroo. Dogs and chickens roam loose. A beat-up pickup pulls to the side of the house. Getting out is CALI, 30s, wearing her blackjack dealer's uniform. On her way to the house she passes a car out of which stick two pairs of legs. Mechanics at work. Cali enters the house.
