SCENE 1 - EXT – DAY - ALLEY
TOM is walking through an alleyway counting his money out loud (to $700); TOM cuts through an alley and a slightly feminine disheveled homeless man approaches him from behind.
ROBBER
HEY!
TOM turns and puts the money behind his back.
TOM
Sorry dude, I don’t have any change on…
The ROBBER pulls a gun from his waistband.
TOM
…me.
ROBBER
Oh, I’m interested in one hell of a lot more than your change.
TOM looks confused.
The ROBBER looks exasperated.
ROBBER
(to himself)
I can never rob the smart ones.
(Out loud)
Your wad, I want your wad!
TOM Looks even more confused and disgusted at the ROBBER
ROBBER
The money
TOM
OH!
Tom laughs over the confusion, then remembers he is being robbed
ROBBER
Jesus Christ!
The ROBBER calmly gets down on one knee and takes aim
TOM turns to run down the alley in slow, dramatic fashion. His arms flail widely as his panicked eyes dart for an exit. He stumbles and screams before we cut back to the ROBBER, watching Tom stumble like an idiot in real-time, squints confusedly before he pulls the trigger.
TOM lunges forward dramatically his face in shock, his heart pounds in his ears before we zip back to real-time in the same shot.
TOM
Ow.
TOM falls out of frame.
