(scene opens with Cassie speaking on the phone)
Cassie:hello who is this?
Cassie's mom:[with a deep voice] it's a call for your doom.
Cassie:I know it's you mom.
Cassie's mom:oh really ๐ฎโ๐จ,I thought I was gonna prank you.
Cassie:mom remember that you can't outdo the doer.
Cassie's mom:I just wanted to get back at you for all your pranks.
Cassie: Alright mom, why'd you call?
Cassie's mom: I'm really concerned about you and your new job, I mean as a girl....
Cassie:[cuts in] You act like being a plumber is gonna kill me. A girl could also do what men do too.
Cassie's mom:I know but not this kind of job honey.
Cassie:mom I can't believe we are having this conversation again.
Cassie's mom:I didn't train my young beautiful girl to do a sweaty job ๐ข.
Cassie:[rolls her eyes] but mom it's just for the meantime, it's not like I'll be a plumber forever.
I promise mom, once the deal is done I'm out.
Cassie's mom: Alright my little warrior, be safe.I love you honey.
Cassie:[Ends the call and says silently]"I love you mom"
[She then say's alternatively]
I guess this is where my work begins.[sighs] here goes nothing.
(Cassie goes out to throw the waste)
Cassie: out you go waste (she flings the waste).
Unknown guy: Is that how you takeout trash?
Cassie: (Stammers a little bit, knowing she was caught) I was just..., Practicing my throwing skills.
Unknown guy: with trash ๐ค
Cassie: yeah [nods her head] with trash. [Then adds] I was gonna pick it up after this.
Unknown guy: were you?[looks at her intensely]
Cassie: [stutters a bit] of course [then she starts picking it up].
Unknown guy:By the way trash lady, my name is Dave, your new neighbor. I don't want you messing up my area, there should be boundaries between us.
Cassie: I was thinking the same thing Mr Dave.
We should have special boundaries meaning "mind your business".
Unknown guy: hey trash lady I think your house just fell down[referring to the trash can].
Cassie: what [she turns around and sees that the trash fell and then screams with anger and looks at the guy fiercely.]
Unknown guy:[smiles and then walk away]
Cassie:[talks to herself] ugh, no one told me about having a new neighbor. I guess my peace is over, how can a guy be so good looking and cruel. He is far from a gentleman.
I better head to work now or I'll be late.
[Asย Cassie takes a walk to work she passes by her family house before and has flash backs of when she was younger]
17 years ago:
Cassie: Dad I got an A (shows her father her result)
(Her father frowns)
Cassie: Dad why aren't you happy, I finally got an A like you wanted
Cassie's dad: (drags the paper from her hands and flings it away) Do you think getting an A is enough, you have to be the best at what you do.
Cassie: But dad won't you at least congratulate me
Cassie's dad: (raises his voice) I can't congratulate you when I am not proud of you. If only I had a son I would have been proud.
Cassie's mom: (interferes) Don't say that please, she is still your daughter.
Cassie's Dad: Would you shut your mouth woman, If only you gave me a boy then things would have been better.
[Cassie's mom starts crying]
87Please respect copyright.๏ผฐ๏ผฅ๏ผฎ๏ผก๏ผฎ๏ผกHLLWktykgP
Cassie's mom: Because of your obsession for a son, you hurt own innocent daughter. Don't you have any love for her.she is literally standing next to you,
You shameless man.
[Cassie father walks up to slap his wife, but Cassie stops him]ย
Cassie: Dad,my mom has nothing to do with this. I am the reason for your anger and I promise to be your son.
Cassie's mom: No honey don't do that
Cassie: mom, do you know that as a nine year old girl I have been regarded useless.what more do I have to loose, As of now, I am no longer your daughter but a son for dad.
(She looks at her father)
Cassie: Are you happy now dad
[Cassie's Dad walks away]
Cassie: He never smiles at me, but I think he will be happy once I start behaving like a guy.
Cassie's mom: I know you are hurt but you can't change who you are for someone.
Cassie: Mom I've always wanted to askย why you chose to bring me to this world as a girl, Do you hate me this much?
Cassie's mom: (sobs) No honey, you are my precious, beautiful daughter
Cassie: I wish that was what dad thought
[The scene cuts from the past and goes back to the present, where Cassie is seen dressing up for work.]
Cassie: Don't worry dad, I am going to make you proud.
[She then picks up her phone, head for the door, and goes for work.]
