Ugly Is As Ugly Does

FADE IN.

INT. SLEEPING ROOM - NIGHT

PETER gets up.

PETER (V.O.)

Seeing all the riot

footage and hearing

the usual official verbal

condemnations make

me very angry.

Pausing.

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

I don't sleep well. Let

me think of something

positive and sleep again.

A beat. Peter wakes up.

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

I had a sweet dream

about singing...

INT. SITTING ROOM - DAY

Watching TV news, Peter sees some PEOPLE IN BLACK setting up barricades and then some riot police actions.

PETER (V.O.)

A masked chap was

shot? By a traffic police?

Peter checks his phone.

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

Someone is doing

live-streaming,

repeating the episode.

Peter examines a video clip.

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

Let me see...the

masked chap isn't

afraid of the police

officer's gun pointing

at him.

Peter looks very engaged.

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

Oh, he was shot. The

police are helping him.

Can't see the whole of

his face.

INT. STUDY - DAY

Peter is watching overseas news. A Chinese CHAP is reciting something.

PETER (V.O.)

The usual traitor from

Hong Kong is having

air time and lying

again. Police raping

and murdering Hong

Kong people? You

represent all?

Pausing.

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

He's so treacherous,

shameless and ugly.

The broadcaster let

him fake news.

Pausing.

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

Although I don't have

air time in the traditional

media, let me comment

on such disgrace in my

social media platform.

The traitor just one of

Hong Kong's ugly faces.

Peter checks his phone message. Seeing a video clip, he taps play.

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

A man remarking he's

Chinese being set on

fire? So horrible?

Pausing.

PETER (V.O.)

A photo of the culprit?

Another ugly face.

EXT. SWIMMING POOL PREMISES - NIGHT

Quiet. As Peter approaches the gate, a GATE KEEPER shouts.

GATE KEEPER

We close early tonight.

Emergency...

PETER

Okay. How about tomorrow's

opening hours?

GATE KEEPER

We might close...

Reluctantly, Peter retreats. Then he bumps into a team of policemen rushing somewhere. He also see PEOPLE IN BLACK in pairs.

PETER

They're just the most

stupid ones being led

about and enslaved by

those from behind -

ugly is as ugly does!

Looking frustrated, Peter runs in the dark.

FADE OUT. The End
