The kitchen is shabby, dirty, cupboards--without doors--are bare, and in need of repair. In the middle is an old kitchen table, with one chair. On the table is an pile of old "scratch-off" cards.
A MAN, 40s, comes in a through an outside door. The man is dirty, unshaven, hair messed up, he looks sullen, tired. He's wearing a dingy plain T-shirt, rumpled pants. He is holding a paper grocery bag.
The man goes to the table. He swipes off the old cards onto the floor with his arm. He takes out a 6 pack of beer and sets it on the table. Takes out a bag of chips, sets it on the table. He upends the grocery bag over the table. A bunch of new scratch cards fall on the table.
He sits down and opens a beer. He takes out a coin and starts scratches off each card.. He does so in a very fast and systematic fashion. Every third or fourth card he acts out his frustration (ie. clenching teeth, growling, pounding the table).
He scratches the last card. Looks at it.
