Summary

Three young people wanted to save their mother who was very sick. Their mother needed an operation, and it would cost a lot of money. Because they had no money, they decided to rob a bank. However, their plan was defective. Their mother was sad.

Scene I: In the hospital

(In a room, the doctor talks to David.)

David: (Nervous) Is my mother OK？

Doctor: (Serious) Your mother is very sick.

David: How to cure her？

Doctor: Your mother needs an operation, and it will cost a lot of money to cure her.

David: (Grabs the doctor) How much will it cost？

Doctor: It should be at least one million dollars. (Then the doctor goes out.)

David: That is not a small fortune. How will I come up with the money in a short time?

(Andy comes in.)

Andy: Where is Mom？Is she OK？(Looks around)

David: The doctor said that it should cost a big fortune.

Andy: But we don’t have enough money to pay for it. What should we do？

David: Let’s go home and discuss it.

(On the road, David sees a woman withdraw money from an ATM.)

David: (Excited) Look！It is money.

Andy: But that is a bank.

David: We should earn a lot of money in a short time. This way is quick.

Andy: This way is illegal.

David: But we only have one mother, and she is nice to us.

Andy: Umm…Let’s go home and discuss with sister. Look！There is one hundred dollars on the floor！(Picks it up)

David: (Hits his head) One hundred dollars？We need one billion, not one hundred！

Andy: It is mine. (Croaking voice)

Scene II: David and Andy get home

Sue: Is Mom OK？

David: The doctor said we need a lot of money to save mother.

Sue: But we do not have much money. Look at our home. It is so poor. (Effervescing voice)

David: Do not be sad！Let’s discuss an idea.

Sue: What idea do you have？

Andy: We decide to rob a bank.

Sue: What？Rob a bank？Your brother-in-law has gone to prison several times for robbing banks. I don’t agree！(Angry)

Andy: But we don’t have a choice！

David: If we don’t have enough money, our mother will die.

Sue: OK…this is the only thing we can do.

David and Andy: Let’s go！

Sue: No, we need to make a plan first.

David: Ask our brother-in-law. He always robs banks.

Sue: OK. I will tell him tomorrow.

（Sue takes a lot of weapons back.）

Sue: Choose one weapon you are good at.

（Brothers choose the weapons.）

Sue: Remember to wear your mask.

Scene III: In the bank

Sue: Hello, I want to withdraw a billion dollars from my savings account.

Clerk: (To check her drawing account.) Sorry, you don’t have enough money in your savings account.

Sue: (Taking out a gun) Just do it！

Clerk: Help! Help！

David and Andy: Hurry up！

Andy: Only underwear, no money.

David: Are you stupid! We just need money！(The police officer arrives at the bank)

Police officer: Don’t move! Put down your weapons. (The police officer holds up the gun to them.)

David, Andy, and Sue: Oh, my God！

David: The police officer is coming！

Andy: What should we do？(Nervous)

(David, Andy, and Sue want to escape away.)

Sue: I cover you! Go！Hurry！(Police shoots Sue and Sue gets hurt.)

Sue: Oh！

David: Are you OK？

Andy: What happened？

Sue: My leg is hurt！I can’t walk now.

Police officer: Don’t move, and give up！You are all under arrested.

Scene IV: In the police office

Police officer: Why did you try to rob the bank？Do you know it is illegal to rob the bank？

David: Because our Mom is sick, we need money to save her.

Andy: We don’t have enough money, so we decided to rob the bank.

Sue: We know it is wrong to rob the bank, but we didn’t have any choice.

Police officer: I understand why you need the money but robbing a bank is against the law.

(Mom enters in the police office.)

David, Andy, and Sue: Mom, we were wrong！

Mom: I know you robbed the bank for me, but it’s wrong！It will affect your future.

Police officer: We should be good to our parents, but we can’t do something against the law.

(All the three young people repent their follies.)
