walter watches out the window as farmland gives way to city. traffic builds, billboards line the highway. walter rides, head back, eyes closed. the bus comes to a stop and a couple of passengers get on. walter opens his eyes. walter rides the bus. through many different neighborhoods, day passes into night. he stares beyond his reflection. over the following voice-over we cut between walter's apartment and walter riding the bus. walter rides the bus, watching the landscape go by, his expression stony. the bus pulls to a stop. walter gets off.
