Treatment / Script

Scene starts off at the home of Tevin and his Dad Rupert. Tevin walks towards the front door, opens it and takes the mail from the letter box. He walks back iside the house and places the mail on a table. As he sits down on a chair, his dad walks in the room and calls out Tevin's name.

Rupert:  Tevin, Tevin!
   Tevin:  Yeah?
Rupert:  Long time i was calling you, but you didn't hear me
   Tevin: Oh!

Rupert then places two bags of copper pennies in Tevin's hand.

Rupert:  I want you to go to the shops and buy me a newspaper and change the rest into pound coins
  Tevin: What?.....Alright!

Tevin gets up from his seat with the money in his hand and walk to the passage way to get his shoes on. His dad, Rupert sits in the same seat and starts reading the mail which was left by the table. Tevin slips on his shoes and opens the door to go outside. He crosses the road and goes through the door of the mini-market shop. As he comes out he is greeted by two of hos friends and they walk together down the road. As they walk down the road, they see a lottery ticket and Tevin picks it up.

   Vishal: What's that?
    Tevin: It's a lottry ticket
Michael: Let's check it...

Michael opens the newspaper and finds the lottery section. Tevin reads the numbers from the lottery ticket to see if it matches yesterday's lottery numberes in the newspaper.

Michael: Read out the numbers
    Tevin: 01, 02, 03, 04, 42 and 44

All the numbers match and they all start jumping and laughing becuase they realise they have a winning ticket. Vishal gets his phone out and starts calling his family. But as Tevin turns around and starts walking, Michael hits him on the head and steals the ticket.



The scene ends with Michael running up the road and bumping into a passer by, but keeps running. The camera fades and the scene ends.
