WHO WANTS A DRINK!!!


INTRODUCTION

It is something common in Egypt to find a drink seller in a bus , yes it happens , before the bus takes off the drink seller gets in and offers his drink for one pound or may be less , he gets in with a big wide glass bottle which is full of this black drink , the drink name is TAMR HINDI, another black drink but not as sweet as the first one and its name is ERK SOOS , some people do not like it but others and they are so many drink it because it helps them to overcome hot weather .








It was another hot day in Egypt’s summer , unbelievable summer , people could hardly go to work and pray to finish and go home.



In the front we see the driver , behind the wheel nervous , waits for some passengers for the last three seats.

Passengers like him are so nervous , they want the bus to move to find some air , some air reminds them of lovely winter.

A father and his son among passengers, they are Nubians.

Son
I want chocolate cake dad.

Father

Son
We do not have chocolate at home.

Father
Mom will make it for you.

Son
Mom does not know how to make it.

Father

Son
Yes

Father
Ok .. we are going to ask grandma to teach her how to make chocolate.

Son
(crying)

father

Son

Father

Son

Father
(angrey)

Son cries , father puts his hands on his two ears , father raises his head to find THE DRINK SELLER.

The drink seller speaks loud to get people’s attention.

Drink seller
(announcement )
it is a hot weather .. a breath of fire ..who wants a drink? Come on .. fight the hot weather by drinking my cold drink .. enjoy cold ERK SOOS .. your body needs it.

The driver
(to drink seller)
stop right there .. I have just cleaned this bus .. it toke me 1 hour to clean this piece of junk so get out of here before you pour it on the floor and seats.

Passengers start to buy from the seller who becomes excited because of selling .

The drink seller
Do not worry .. I will be careful .

Business starts quickly , the seller sells , passengers drink and the driver watches the whole scene waiting for the disaster to take place.

Father
(to son)
do you want to have a drink?

Son
No .. I want a chocolate cake.

Father
Well , have a drink first with me then we will see.

Son
I do not want to have a drink.. it tastes bad.

Father
It tastes good son.. it is cold you know.. cold is good in this weather.

Son
(cries)
I do not want to drink.

Father
Your mother spoiled you.. you used to have everything you want .. but it is over.. you are going to drink .. you are going to do as I say.
(to drink seller)
two glasses please.

Drink seller
Yes sir.. I am coming .

The drink seller moves to the father and his son when suddenly four  young men get in and starts to race each other for the last three seats.

Father
(to son)
enjoy your drink and stop moving boy .. you do not wanna have ERK SOOS bath.. I will you give you this bath if you move one inch .

the drink seller pours ERK SOOS for father and son when the four  young men, actually one of them hit the drink seller by accident , he loses his balance and instead of pouring two glasses of ERK SOOS for father and son , he pours the whole big wide glass bottle on father’s head and shirt.

The driver
(angrey)
you son of..  I told you.. I told you ..see what you did ? .. how many time I suppose to clean this bus ? do you think it is fun to clean a bus? I swear  to god … I am going to smash your bottle on your head.

The drives leaves his seat to do what he says, but he can not reach the seller because the seller himself involves in a different fight , with the young man who hit him and causes this mess .
The young man
I am so sorry .. I did not mean to.

The drink seller grasp the young man’s throat.

The drink seller
Just pay me .

The young man
I do not have any money.

The drink seller punches him on the face , the young man's friends try to save him , the driver tries to reach the seller to beat him but  many people in the middle, so he tries.

The father just stare at his son who laughs , because of the whole thing, his father is covered with ERK SOOS , some people punch each other in the middle , that’s so funny to him.
