All living things.  The business guys keep putting the same word down on the Scrabble board: &#8220;CO2&#8221; (yes, I know that Scrabble doesn&#8217;t have &#8220;2&#8221; tiles).  Maybe every time they do this, they also take some Monopoly money out of &#8220;the bank&#8221;.  Maybe not.  That might be mixing up games too much.  <\/p>\n<p>At any rate, eventually, the rich guys run out of spaces to put down more &#8220;CO2&#8243;s.  So, they start pushing the little girl&#8217;s words off the board and adding more &#8220;CO2&#8243;s.  <\/p>\n<p>After a while, they knock over the table holding the Scrabble board and walk away (I guess they got bored).  One of them casually pushes over the girl in her chair as he&#8217;s walking away.  Maybe he walks back and, in an absent-minded manner, picks up the small little girl&#8217;s purse that fell out of her pocket, opens it, finds there&#8217;s nothing of worth in it, and tosses it aside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t know the correct format for screenplays, so this is just free form.
