SHOW DEVELOPMENT CLAUDIA:

(Concerned)

 Are you OK???

RAMON:

 Yes, why?

CLAUDIA:

(Concerned)

 

Well I heard you saying… “

Everything comes to an end

”… so…

 

RAMON:

 I was referring to my apple.

It’s my favorite fruit. And now, I’m out of apples and

wish I could afford more.

CLAUDIA:

 

Here…I have one fresh from the farmer’s market…would you like it?

 

RAMON:

Thanks.

 (He bites the apple)

 

CLAUDIA:

 If you

can’t

 afford more, have you checked out SNAP?

RAMON:

SNAP?

CLAUDIA:

 SNAP is the new name for the Food Stamp Program. They give you help so you

can buy good, healthy foods …vegetables, meats, and even apples.

(

We kept apples since this is

the first time we establish Ramon’s character and

 that he loves apples. Also, apples are not seasonal.)

RAMON:

 

I don’t think I qualify. I own my house and I live with my daughter and grandson.

CLAUDIA:

 You might. SNAP is a program to help people. If

you don’t apply…you’ll never

know.

SFX: BIG STEEL STOMP. MUSIC THROUGHOUT. CLIFFHANGER OPTION 1: ANNCR:
