Front Steps of Tal Cregg's House
Concrete steps ascend to the entrance of Tal Cregg's messy, music-filled house under night sky. C.J. climbs them upon arrival, meeting Tal at this threshold where he launches into curfew jokes and poured Manhattans. Molly, Archimedes the cat, and Mr. Moyers cluster nearby, the steps framing initial greetings amid hints of Tal's confusion with wrong names and misplaced items.
