Beverly Hills, Stuart Townsend sent the woman who called on him away. Considering it was the last day of the Cannes Film Festival, he hurriedly tidied up the house, bundling all the garbage into one bag and carrying it out the side door.
Entering the alley, two garbage bins were placed opposite each other.
Stuart tossed the bag of garbage into his own relatively new bin. Just as he was about to return, he suddenly heard the sound of fireworks exploding in the sky.
He followed the sound and saw that it was coming from his rotten neighbor's place.
The whooshing sounds of fireworks followed one after another, filling the sky with their noise.
Because of Charlize Theron, Stuart had been closely following this year's Cannes Film Festival and guessed what had happened.
It must have been that bastard Martin Davis who snagged the Best Actor award at Cannes!
Stuart looked up at the sky above the neighbor's house.
Then, he remembered the reports from the media.
