HOMELESS 1

1	On the street, a Homeless begs change, keeping the cup in his hand. There are many pedestrians. Paul comes up in the crowd.

HOMELESS:		SPARE THE CHANGE.
2	On the street, the Homeless still begs change. He notices Paul is approaching. Nobody gives him money.

HOMELESS (thought):	THAT GUY GAVE ME BEFORE. HOW ABOUT TODAY?
HOMELESS:	SPARE THE CHANGE! (bold letters)
PAUL (thought):	OOH. I’M AFRAID HE REMEMBERS ME.

3	Paul throws the coin into the cup when he passes the Homeless

SFX:	CLANG!
HOMELESS:	GOD BLESS YOU.
HOMELESS (thought):	BINGO!
PAUL (thought):	DON’T THINK IT YOUR RIGHT! NOT NEXT TIME.

4	Paul walks away in the crowd. His back is seen. The Homeless still begs the change, keeping the cup.

HOMELESS (thought):	HE GAVE ME IT MAYBE ‘CAUSE HE CAN’T BE TOUGH. IS HE OK? --
HOMELESS (thought):	-- CHEER UP! OR … ANYWAY, YOU CAN BE A GOOD HOMELESS, MY FRIEND.

HOMELESS 2

1	During the daytime, we see the back of towering guy Greg walk on the street of shopping mall, holding his sketchbook under his arm. Many pedestrians walk shoulder to shoulder or pass him on the sidewalk.

GREG (thought):

WHY?

2. On the sidewalk, Greg still walks in the crowd. In front of him, a homeless begs the change.

HOMELESS:	SPARE THE CHANGE.
GREG (thought):	I SAID I’S READY.

 

3. The pedestrians keep the distance from the homeless. Greg approaches him. Homeless notices Greg and is scared.

HOMELESS:	SPARE THE…
GREG (thought):	YES, I WILL.

4. The homeless is scared and sneaks away from Greg. Greg stalls there, looking at his back.

HOMELESS (thought):	OOH. HE LOOKS DANGEROUS.
GREG (thought):	AH, WHY DO THEY REFUSE MY CHANGE?

AT THE CLASS

1. At the sketch class, the students draw the vase on their canvases. Paul and his bad friends Bob and Alan are among the students. Behind them, Greg faces his canvas at the corner of room.

 

2. The bell rings and the class is dismissed. The students stop drawing and feel relieved.

SFX:	BEE, BEE, BEE
BOB:	YAHOO! LUNCH.

3. Bob and Alan look into the Paul’s canvas over his shoulder. At the corner of room, Greg looks at them in surprise.

BOB:	HEY, PAUL. WHAT’S THIS? DO YOU MEAN IT’S DRAWING?
ALAN:	IT’S NOT VASE. A BUSKET.
PAUL:	YOU’RE TEASING ME.

4	The bad friends recognize Greg is there. Greg silently puts his stuff back into his bag. The bad friends are scared and smile at him.

BOB:	HI, GREG. DOESN’T MATTER WHATEVER YOU"VE DRAWN.
ALAN:	YOUR DRAWING IS GREAT --
ALAN (thought):	-- THOUGH I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE DRAWING.
GREG (thought):	…

GIFT

1	At a café, Greg talks with Paul. Greg looks disappointed.

GREG:	I CAN’T DO ANYTHING IN MY LIFE.
PAUL:	DON’T SAY THAT. EVERYBODY HAS A GIFT.

2	Same as above. Greg almost starts crying. Paul allays him.

GREG:	I AM NOT GOOD AT DRAWING, I DON’T HAVE MONEY BUT TERRIBLE LOOKS INSTEAD…
PAUL:	I’M WITH YOU. I’M WITH YOU.

3	Paul comforts Greg.

PAUL:	WE CAN USE OUR NATURAL GIFT FOR SOMETHING. LET’S THINK ABOUT IT.
GREG:	HOW CAN I USE MY AWFUL LOOKS?

4	At the bar, a group of drinkers yell out and fight another group. Greg just stands behind them. Among them, one drinker notices him and apologizes decently.

DRINKER 1:	YOU BASTARD.
DRINKER 2:	WATCH YOUR MOUTH, DRUNKARD.
DRINKER 3:	UH, SORRY. WE’LL STOP IT.
GREG (thought):	OH, NO. IT’S WORKING IN DIFFERENT WAY.

RECORD-BREAKING DAYS

1	Under the blazing sun, Paul walks on the street, wiping his sweat.

PAUL:

PHEW, HOT!

2	At his room, Paul watches the TV on which a weather forecaster reports the today’s weather.

FORECASTER:	IT’S THE HOTTEST DAY WE HAVE EVER RECORDED.
PAUL:	DON’T BE PROUD, IDIOT. YOU SAID IT’D RAIN.

3	Paul in T shirt walks on the rainy street, keeping the umbrella. He shivers.

CAPTION:	NEXT DAY
PAUL:	PHEW, COLD!

4	At his room, Paul wears the coat and shivers, watching the TV on which the forecaster reports.

FORECASTER:	AS WE FORECAST, IT’S THE BIGGEST DROP IN OUR RECORD.
