"The Black Eye"

CUT TO

A crowded, rush hour N train. Drew is seated, reading Celine. Her stop is next. She struggles to her feet just as a FAT WOMAN drops her glasses.

With a sweet smile, Drew bends forward to pick up the glasses precisely as a MAN lifts his heavy briefcase from the floor.

Drew comes up with the fat woman’s glasses in her right hand but her left hand is holding her left eye in obvious pain.
