A HOMELESS WOMAN IN TOMPKIN'S SQUARE PARK
SHERRY, HOMELESS WOMAN:
"Mother died yesterday or was it today?"
Then who sends me the letter every day?
The letter from my mother...
A MAN, PASSER BY:
MAN: ( asks her)
Do you have a last wish before you die and join your mother?
SHERRY:
Yes. Give me a dollar so I can get a letter from my mother.
MAN: (Confused)
What do you mean? A dollar? To get a letter from a dead mother?
Doesn't make any sense...
SHERRY:
Yes, give me a dollar so I can get a letter from my mother.
You see a man comes to me from the other side of the park
Every day. I give him a dollar and he brings me a letter from my mother
Today, I don't have a dollar so I couldn't give it to him
And he refused to bring me my mother's letter...
SHERRY: (Asks other passerby)
Do you have a dollar? Do you have a dollar? Sir, do you have a dollar?
(They all keep going)
MAN, THE FIRST PASSERBY:
(Gives her a dollar, she takes it happily and says to him.)
SHERRY:
Ok, here is the dollar. Oh! I got the dollar, soon I will have my letter from my mother
(To the man). Could you please go and get me the letter because i don't see my daily contact?
MAN:
(Takes his dollar back and says)
Ok, I will get the letter for you.
(Man goes away and come back after a few minutes and give her a blank piece of paper.
Sherry is over joyed and begins to read)
SHERRY:
