Sound Treatment

The scene will be visually simple.
We hear a woman shouting to pick up an order. You see a man's hand on a table leave the shot, it comes back down with a mug in hand.
The man sighs, we hear him start  talking about his hardships and tribulations.
After talking to himself for a short period, we pan out and see another mug, revealing that he has an audience.
Continuing with his stories, we hear nothing from the mystery audience knowing nothing of age gender or race.
after a few minutes we hear him stop as the sound of the music playing in the cafe is focused on.
Silence
and the man begins sobbing, he rants about his lost love and how this song makes him think of her, we hear a bang on the table and the mans arm hits the cup over.
We then for the first time hear the voice of his partner who we have no knowledge of.
A young girls voice (4-5 y.o), confused tries to comfort her grandfather out of embarrassment.
Apologizing we hear chairs screech as the man and girl get up and and a bell signifying their exit.
the closing shot of the two cups left on the table.
B-roll throughout the film if any would consist of pictures or memories of the mans youth.
