Summary
Three young people wanted to save their mother who was very sick. Their mother needed an operation, and it would cost a lot of money. Because they had no money, they decided to rob a bank. However, their plan was defective. Their mother was sad.
Scene I: In the hospital
(In a room, the doctor talks to David.)
David: (Nervous) Is my mother OK？
Doctor: (Serious) Your mother is very sick.
David: How to cure her？
Doctor: Your mother needs an operation, and it will cost a lot of money to cure her.
David: (Grabs the doctor) How much will it cost？
Doctor: It should be at least one million dollars. (Then the doctor goes out.)
David: That is not a small fortune. How will I come up with the money in a short time?
(Andy comes in.)
Andy: Where is Mom？ Is she OK？ (Looks around)
David: The doctor said that it should cost a big fortune.
Andy: But we don’t have enough money to pay for it. What should we do？
David: Let’s go home and discuss it.
(On the road, David sees a woman withdraw money from an ATM.)
David: (Excited) Look！ It is money.
Andy: But that is a bank.
David: We should earn a lot of money in a short time. This way is quick.
Andy: This way is illegal.
David: But we only have one mother, and she is nice to us.
Andy: Umm… Let’s go home and discuss with sister. Look！ There is one hundred dollars on the floor！ (Picks it up)
David: (Hits his head) One hundred dollars？ We need one billion, not one hundred！
Andy: It is mine. (Croaking voice)
Scene II: David and Andy get home
Sue: Is Mom OK？
David: The doctor said we need a lot of money to save mother.
Sue: But we do not have much money. Look at our home. It is so poor. (Effervescing voice)
David: Do not be sad！ Let’s discuss an idea.
Sue: What idea do you have？
Andy: We decide to rob a bank.
Sue: What？ Rob a bank？ Your brother-in-law has gone to prison
