You will need RealPlayer ® to view these videos.

Ext. Brooklyn Street - Afternoon

Open high on a street scene from outside a brownstone apartment. Looking through the kitchen window we see a woman washing dishes, etc. We push past her onto her young son, who watches her, unnoticed. By the look on his face we can see he is up to something.

Int. Apartment Hallway

From behind the Young Boy we see his Mother washing dishes. He turns around cautiously looking over his shoulder as we follow him down the hallway into his Mother's Bedroom.

CUT TO:

Int. Hallway

Through the bedroom mirror, the stunned mother watches as her son takes something out of her purse. She recoils at the sight of her own stealing from her. Her face is filled with emotion.

CUT TO:

The Young Boy as he hurries out of the bedroom and runs into his Mother who stands there speechless.

She grabs him and pulls him towards her.

Over Young Boy's shoulder we see his Mother reaching behind her son for what he's taken. Her expression quickly changes when she realizes what he has actually taken from her purse.

Boy

No quiero que te mueras mama.

Close up on the Mother's face. Almost teary eyed as she reaches out and embraces him. A crushed pack of cigarettes falls from her hand.

Close up on cigarettes as they hit the floor. A man's shoe steps on the pack. Camera booms up, revealing:

Esai Morales

Como nino, hice todo lo posible para que mi mama dejara de fumar. Y al fin, ello lo hizo. Gracias mama, te amo.

FADE TO BLACK.
