In front of a bus shelter, seagulls on steroids peck at some food.
A young Asian lad throws a chip at them.
He looks at an older white man.
LAD: I cage fight.
The older man nods politely.
LAD: I can do two fights in a night! Easily.
He stops to eat a chip.
LAD: You thought about it?
MAN: What?
LAD: Cagefighting.
The man smiles shyly shaking his head.
LAD: Could teach ya.
The man looks at his watch.
LAD: (staring at him) I …I could ya know
The man moves closer to the kerb as the bus pulls in.
MAN: No it’s ok.
He gets on the bus and sits at the front. The younger man sits behind him.
