Hundreds of years have passed since the alien’s ship crashed on earth.

Passing

Restaurant manager Don has a customer who’s forgotten his wallet. Justin, a young street musician, reluctantly leaves his old guitar behind as collateral. As he leaves, he tells Don to make sure he takes good care of “Betty Lou.” Richard, an antiques appraiser, overhears this and approaches Don, asking to inspect the guitar. In Don's office, Richard discovers it's a long-lost Elvis guitar. He leaves his card for Justin and says he will pay $75,000 for it. Later, Don checks the internet to find that the last Elvis guitar auctioned for $180,000. He must now choose. Should he give Justin Richard’s card, warn him off, or take advantage of the situation?
