1: 07 pm. Actor's in place.

The curtain raises.

'Lights, camera, action,' Donatel announced.

7:32 p.m., time posed.

There was tightness in Twila's neck. She wanted opinions on how to get some money, that she had gambled away on a horse race.

Without telling Darwin. She figured that she would pay off at the beginning of the year, placing a couple million dollars on 'Jedi', her pick at the race. Knowing well that she should do it, she did it.

'I am glad that you are not a betting man. I am glad to go back, pushing the property against the agreement. The hospital benefit is the best. You won't regret doing it.

Darwin says, 'Mainly it's for the education drive, we need personnel who really cares, and knows what they are really doing. I did the same last. I am not flying an internship for nothing. It's a wonderful opportunity for a few. I will be able to make a difference, a buddy system. Minority groups are paying way too much for all the uncountable teachers who have to take a cut in pay. If it wasn't for the teachers, students would have the education that they need. We need the best of the best. Politics run the government, and they are not doing what needs to be done.

Twila said, 'I have work in the library.'

Darwin says, 'My grandmother molded the strength of me. She was a general. Holding the power in her hands, somehow?'

Twila smiled, 'Back in the day, men went off to war, leaving families behind. The wives and mothers had to defend for themselves, anyway they knew how to. Darwin, events take place, and inexperienced businessmen handle their own.'

The doorbell rings, and Darwin spills his coffee.

It was Twila's brother, George.

George comes in, making himself at home.

Darwin says, 'Just in time to eat with us,' he orders a pepperoni pizza.

George smiled, 'It's good to see you again."

Darwin says, 'Likewise, let me show you around the comforts of my stay. Robes are hanging in the bathroom. There's a bedroom far-right? You can sleep there. And, the house is open, I am sure you can find yourself around.'

George hands Darwin a brown envelope, 'There's two grand inside, take it.'

Darwin smiled, 'Certainly.'

'That's a wrap,' Donatel announced.

The curtain falls down.
