Hey Michel,

Just read your script here and I thought that it had a nice little concept to it. I liked the ending and I thought it was funny when Brian was being chased by the three men. And I also liked it how you described the fat lady as "Buddha".

A few minor spelling errors here and there, but it's no big deal. And your descriptions are very nice and I was able to picture everything in my head.

This was a good read. Nothing really to complain about. Very simple. Man plays game. Man loses game. Man steals toy. Man loses toy. A nice twist at the end as well. The only thing I don't understand is why Brian would leave his daughter alone. While you don't have to establish that she is his daughter, at least make her presence known at the beginning of the script. It's a minute detail though. Not a big deal at all.

Other than that, good job and way to prove that a good story can be written in less than 5 pages. They don't always go over well with me.

I wanted people wonder about Brian's true motivations for stealing the toy.

Thanks again. That's the kind of things I like to hear (lol)
