Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

INT. BEVERLY HILLS HOTEL - CORRIDOR OUTSIDE ROOM 214
A Hotel Manager is walking toward the door of room 214. He knocks softly on the door. The door opens and Adam Kesher is standing there - still beaten looking with remnants of pink paint.
ADAM
Yes...what is it?
HOTEL MANAGER
I'm sorry Mr. Kesher, but there seems to be some problem concerning your credit card.
ADAM
... What??
HOTEL MANAGER
The fact is Mr. Kesher a representative of your bank called us.
ADAM
How... how'd they know I was here?
HOTEL MANAGER
I don't know. All we do is take an impression of the credit card and until you check out it just sits in our files.
ADAM
So, what did they say?
HOTEL MANAGER
Well, Sir, I'm afraid they said you're overdrawn at your bank and your line of credit has been cancelled.
ADAM
Unbelievable. Look... here. I don't know what's going on. That's so much baloney. I've got enough cash for one night, okay?
HOTEL MANAGER
That's fine, Mr. Kesher. You can pay cash when you check out. I'm sorry. it was my duty to inform you.
ADAM
Fine. I'll check out in the morning
HOTEL MANAGER
Have a good evening, Mr. Kesher.
The Hotel Manager turns to leave and Adam closes the door.
