Lucia:

Hey, Danny how's your schooling?

Danny :

Still the same mom

Lucia :

Oh, What do you mean by that? (She will stop preparing the table and seat near Danny)

Danny:

Nothing's new mom, you don't have to ask everyday about it.

(Lucia won't sense that Danny has a problem and she won't asked him. She will just nag at him)

Lucia:

Son, whatever that bothers you don't let it affects your studies. You know that the living is very difficult
now...

Lucia:

mad and waste our money.

(While the two are in the kitchen talking, Fernando enters with a mad and disgusted face. Lucia noticed
and asked him)

Lucia:

And you Mister?. What happened to you and you look mad? Do you have a bad day at work?

Fernando:

Ah!, I'm not just mad. I'm very very mad. Those ungrateful rascals ( he will hit the table with close fist.)

Lucia

Why? What happened? Stop that, you're making me nervous.

Fernando

(He will reply to Lucia with gritting teeth, he's still clenching his fist, looking outside from the kitchen
window)

They fired me just because I don't make it on time. They disregarded all of my contributions to the
company just because of a simple mistake.

(He'll notice Danny )

Fernando
And what's the problem of this punk, huh?

Lucia

Eh, don't mind him, he's just sulking.

Fernando

( He will push Danny's shoulder)

Hey you, I don't have job now. You won't be able to continue your studies. You know, I shouldn't have
support your studies eh... I just waste my money on you.

Lucia

this child. He always get low marks. (Looks to Danny)

Fernando

I no longer know where he inherited the stupidity

Lucia
