Curfew Page #2

Synopsis: On the brink of demise, self-destructive Richie has sadly reached the lowest point in his life, and now, he desperately wants out. However, nothing is over yet, as an unexpected call from Richie's estranged sister, Maggie, will offer a helping hand, and perhaps, a new meaning in life, even though it is only a fleeting one. Strange as it may seem, although Richie is the last person she would ever call, Maggie, distraught, still needs his help to look after her young daughter, Sophia, for the night. Little by little, as the two alienated relatives timidly reconnect under New York's silvery night lights, a subtle and delicate relationship will form. Could it be the beginning of a new reality?

Elementary School 198 in CM1.

Scotty Evans and Timmy Knight.

They were after me.

Black eye, stabbing ...

And then you intervened, remember?

You raised his fist and

hit you Scotty Evans.

Boom, it collapsed like a pile of bricks.

They said ...

They said it was shame that my

sister is fighting for me.

It was not true.

See you there and say: "Stop

looking for my brother."

I knew the truth.

My sister was the coolest in the world.

And then we grew up.

Was changed.

I've changed.

And hast made thy life. And you

had this beautiful girl.

It is extraordinary.

Maggie, she's so smart.

If it is like that is because

it has the best of mothers.

This is where I realized ...

some things never change.

You're still the coolest in the world.

Maggie?

Is that what you want though ...

come home to keep Sophia

from time to time?

It's just that ... I

need help, you know?

Maybe Friday afternoon.

Or Sundays or others.

Agree.
