Metamorphosis Scene #1: On the Factory

Scene 1: On the Factory

Early morning, still dark and the sun is not even over the horizon, our hero is already at work in some kind of workshop – some very dirty workshop – in an old abandoned factory. The hero is talking to the head of the shift – he receives his salary for the week in cash:

Hero

Listen, can I have an extra shift this weekend?

Chief

I can’t, sorry. You know how much I risk letting you in here at all. You know if it would depend only on me… Damn politicians!

Hero

Yes, I understand and thank you. How much for today?

Chief

There are 20 bucks in the envelope, I can’t give more.

Hero

Twenty? For a whole week?!?

Chief

The Rest goes to pay off your debt for those damaged parts because of your new program. We were very lucky that no one was injured back then. You know that.

Hero

Yes, but damn… I just need more shifts.

Chief

You need to go to school! Here is what you need…

Hero

Here you go again… Ok, I’d better go before you started your old song.

Chief

Be careful on the road. See you.

The hero gets on his bicycle and leaves.
