FADE IN.
EXT. ROAD - DAY
As he is about to step inside a bank, PETER checks his hand bag.
PETER (V.O.)
Where's
my wallet?
He checks and checks.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)
It was with me a
moment ago when I
was still inside the
car. I must have left
it on the passenger
seat.
Peter rushes and arrives at a car repairer.
INT. CAR REPAIRER - DAY
Finding a car that is being worked near the driver side by a TECHNICIAN (30s), Peter sees nothing on the passenger seat.
PETER
I've left my wallet in
the car.
Noting, the technician picks up a wallet near the driver seat.
TECHNICIAN
Is this one?
PETER
(Nodding and smiling)
Oh yes! Thank you!
FLASHBACK
INT. CAR LICENCE RENEWAL COUNTER - DAY
Grabbing the papers, Peter leaves the counter. Then he hears a female's voice.
VOICE (O.S.)
Sir, you've left your
wallet on the counter!
Seeing his wallet, Peter nods and returns to get it back.
PETER (V.O.)
It was just weeks ago
that I lost my wallet...
END FLASHBACK
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)
I've to remind myself
again about the safe-
keeping of my wallet.
It's an important little
thing.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)
There're other little
things that I've to bear
in mind too.
FLASHBACK
EXT. AIRPORT BUS STOP - DAY
Together with their baggage,, PASSENGERS and Peter alight from a double-decker. As the bus begins to pull off, Peter sees a MAN (30s) and a WOMAN (30s) determining to block the bus by waving a black hand-carrying bag within the driver's sight.
WOMAN
(Shouting at the driver)
This bag isn't mine.
Mine is still inside
the bus!
The driver stops the bus on the side to let them return the bag on the bus rack and get back their own.
PETER (V.O.)
What a mess it would
be if they discover this
untimely. The owner
of the bag must be
sitting on the upper
deck, not knowing that
his bag was taken
away by somebody
else for a while...
END FLASHBACK
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)
I used to sit on the
upper deck and now
I think I need to keep
an eye on my baggage
because there're other
mindless persons.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)
Another little thing is
about the need to hold
tight while riding on
escalators.
FLASHBACK
Smart phone in hand, Peter stands leisurely on the right side of a stack of escalators going down.
We hear repeated announcements: Hold tight, don't focus on your phone.
Then, Peter sees people going up suddenly moving a bit looking annoyed and becoming stationary.
PETER (V.O.)
Their stack of escalators
abruptly stop for no
particular reason.
Peter begins to hold tight.
END FLASHBACK
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)
Yes, there's a need to
heed the warning. It's
a little thing that is easy
to do.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.)
Although I'm having
screen time even on
the move, I'd stop
before crossing any
road junctions. This
has already become
my conditional
reflex.
EXT. ROAD - NIGHT
Peter's SON is driving, Peter and his WIFE are passengers.
WIFE
Oh, our daughter has
left her Hall room key
at home!
PETER
She's boarding. And
no courier service can
be faster than her to
arrive in UK. She has
to learn from her
setback.
PETER (V.O.)
Finding my keys has
been my problem and
so I place my keys
near the door all
the time.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)
Setbacks are learning
experience and life
lessons.
FADE OUT. The End
