CLOSE ON THE SECOND WINDOW -- Waiting his turn at the head of the line is a BLACK MAN in his early 30몶s. He kills time by trying to make a beat-up old wooden yo-yo perform the basic up-and-down maneuver, but he몵s not very good at it. He looks as if he몶s down on his luck: shiny pants, slightly frayed collar, an old windbreaker. One of life몶s chronic losers, he is one of those individuals who continue to believe in themselves despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. This is GUS GORMAN.
Behind the teller몶s wicket is a middle-aged female CLERK with the requisite officious manner and heart of stone common to her profession. As the MAN ahead of GUS finishes his turn and walks away, she barks out:
CLERK
Name?
GUS
(as he tries to
untangle his
yo-yo string)
Gus Gorman.
