At A Bus Stop

(beeping)

A boy is texting while walking to the bus stop. The bus leaves without him.

Boy: Oh, shoot! Hey, wait! [panting] Oh, no.

Man:(muffled) Hey, there. Did you miss your bus?

Boy: Uh-huh.

Clown: Hey, my name's Brent. I work at the Three-Ring car wash. (laughs) I know. Silly outfit, right? Well, uh, come on. I'm going right past, uh, Lower Mills elementary school. Is that where you're headed?

Boy: Yeah.

Clown: I-I-I can drop you.

Boy: T-that's that's okay.

Clown: Oh, come on. (he gets out of the car) Here. (he takes her backpack)

Boy: Wait. Hey, that's mine!

A man walks up and tries to stop the clown.

Man: Hey, hey. What the hell are you doing?

Boy: No! Don't!

Man: Let go of him! Let go of him!

Clown: Back off!

Man: Hey! Hey!

Clown: Why don't you mind your own business?!

Man: No, I want to know what the hell you think you're doing.

Clown: Get off of me!

Man: I'm calling the police.

The boy runs off. The clown accidentally pushes him down and the man hits his head on the concrete.

He gets into his car and speeds off.
