Scene 2

Coffee shop scene for passer-by

• At the beginning of scene 2, you are to take turns to walk in and out of the coffee shop until after the radio announcement is over.  Why are you walking in and out of the coffee shop?  Are you buying drinks or chit chatting with friends?  Are you married?  Are you working?  When you see the gangsters, what do you do?  Quickly walk away or continue staying in the coffee shop?
• You form the background scene as focus is on Xiao Fen/ Hong and grandma.  You can talk softly or gesture to the coffee shop owner.

Note: you are important because without you, the coffee shop will be too quiet.  It’s like no business in the coffee shop.  Very unreal.
