Scene 1: Up Jumped Princess

• Character: Nick (gang member, tough guy)
• Playing age: 30+
• Sophie is the daughter of a powerful gang boss having a meeting with one of her dad’s underlings, Nick. He sees her as an up-jumped princess, living off daddy’s money, and not tough enough for this line of business. When he’s done, she gently reminds him who’s in charge and what she can do to him if he speaks out of line again.

• Louis has invited Page over to his place, just her. She shows up in her best dress, hair and make-up all done, fully expecting this to be a romantic engagement. But it’s not. He’s baffled by how much effort she’s put in when all he wanted to do was show her his stamp collection.
