Rosetta Page #3

Synopsis: The first scene, like almost all others, is a fighting scene. A girl, about 18, is sacked from her factory work because her trial period is over. The girl, Rosetta, is quite upset and the cops will have to arrive to get her out. She has her reasons: she lives in a caravan, with her alcoholic mother. She goes looking for work as some go to the war. Treasons, murders are in her mind, if not in her acts.

No, I want a real job.

Is the boss here?

Yes, in the back, in his office.

I gave you my old address.

OK, give me the new one.

Riquet, he's swindling you.

What?

He sells waffles he makes himself.

- How?

- He's got a waffle iron at home.

- How do you know?

- I saw it.

The waffles are under the counter.
