A 67-year-old GRANNY stands on the sidewalk trying to cross the street. The traffic is normal, but she has no guts to walk across.
There's a bench in other side of the sidewalk where a little kid sits on and plays with himself. No one knows what he is playing but himself.
Granny murmurs and curses for nobody cares.
GRANNY
"What a bloody hell street!" [taking a deep breath] "Oh why didn't anybody help this old woman?"
In desperation, she looks up everywhere and finally her eyes are glued to someone sitting on a bench. Overwhelmed, she moves toward the kid.
GRANNY finally reaches the kid. She touches the kid's back and holds her breath.
GRANNY
"Excuse me, Lil' Kid, would you do me a favor?"
KID
"O..." [looking at GRANNY with no expression]
GRANNY
"Lil' Kid, would you?"
KID
"What? You haven't say that?"
GRANNY
"Say what? Can you show a lil' respect to an older person?"
KID
"B-but you need to say: Please, as simple as, PUHLEEAAASE"
GRANNY
"Well" [taking a deep breath] "Alright. Would you do me a favor, please?"
KID
"Y-yeah, what can I do?"
GRANNY
"Please help me to cross the street, will you?"
KID
"Crossing the feet? Like this?" [crossing his feet, giving example]
GRANNY
"Oh Nooooooooo. I need to walk across the street. To that direction" [pointing across the street]
KID
"Oh I see. You want me to talk across the street. To that man's direction? alright." [facing the pointed direction, then shouting] "Helloooo, Mr. over there!"
GRANNY
"No. No. No." [imitating the crossing behavior by her fingers] "Crossing the street, like this!"
KID
"Oh, I see. B-but, mmmmmm"
GRANNY
"What?"
KID
"M-my keeper prohibits me to cross the street; it's too dangerous"
GRANNY
"Oh bloody God! Why didn't you tell me from the beginning?" [sighing] "I only waste my time!"
KID
"P-pardon me. Ben never mean to do that"
GRANNY
"You're such a cocky little twat, Ben!" [getting mad] "You're making a mess with an old woman, you'll be burned in hell"
KID
"..."
GRANNY
"Wait. Ben. Ben?" [accidentally looking at the kid's name tag] "Benjamin?"
KID
"Yes?"
GRANNY
"Are you Benjamin Button?" [her angry face turning to a glad face as if she finds something that has been gone for a long time] "Benjamin Button?"
KID
"I am. Who are you? Are you Daisy? Daisy Fuller?"
GRANNY
"Oh, I've been looking for you the whole time. I miss you, Benjamin." [holding the kid on her chest] "Is it the fate who finds us again? Oh Benjamin. I've been missing you the whole time, Darling."
KID
"Oh, I miss you too, Daisy Darling."
Both of them holding each other tight for a moment. Very intense. Love is inside their holding on.
Suddenly, THE KID releases their holding on and moves away.
KID
"E-eh, Who the hell is Benjamin Button anyway?"
