(Scene starts with the Chief walking up the path to Mona’s house. His smoking car is in the background)
Chief: *Knocks on her front door*
Mona: *Opens the door*
Chief: My car broke down, may I use your phone?
Mona: Umm… I am sorry sir but I don’t really know if it’s a good idea.
Chief: I just need the phone is all, maybe the bathroom too if it’s not too much trouble. I won’t try anything, I just need to call my friends to pick me up.
Mona: Umm.. Ok. I guess. Just the bathroom and a phone call.
(lets him in)
Chief: Thanks (Chief walks to the bathroom)
(Mona walks into the kitchen, sits down, and has a snack when her mother walks in)
Helen: You know your father will be home any minute
Mona: Ok, I’ll be ready in a minute
(Chief walks out of the bathroom)
(Helen looks at the Chief, astonished that a random man just walked out the bathroom)
Helen: WHO THE HELL ARE YOU
Mona: Mom, he just needed to use the bathroom and the phone, please don’t be mad
Helen: Mona, how could you just let a random stranger into our house! And one… like… like him!
Mona: What do you mean, like him? Because he’s Indian?
Helen: No Mona, this is the U.S. of the A, I’m not saying this because he’s indian, I’m saying this because... look at him! He must be eight and a half feet tall!
Chief: Six-six, actually…
(Helen glares at him)
Mona: Mom, he crashed his car, what was I supposed to do, just let him sit by it alone and wait for a tow truck to appear?
Helen: He crashed his... NO
(Helen runs to the window, looks out and sees yet set another of car tracks on their front lawn)
Helen: No! Not again!
(end scene)
