INT. DINING ROOM - MOLETON MANSION
(FADE IN AT LUNCH: the dining room of MOLETON MANSION. The room is quiet; as the rich family eats their CALAMARI SALAD. Awkward silence fits the room; EDGAR breaks the silence and begins talking)
EDGAR
(to BONDIE & VANESSA) Now Bonnie... Vanessa... let's talk..
(VANESSA'S WORRYING OVER THE SMALL BRAWL OUTSIDE MOLETON LUXURIOUS LIFESTYLE WORRIES HER. She raises her concerns with the family)
VANESSA
(worried to EDGAR) Edgar... that small brawl outside MOLETON LUXURIOUS.. it got me worried. Us being rich in general; we are a target...
BONDIE
(to EDGAR) Mum's right Dad... there's more poor people in the world than rich... it is a concern I have to. Being constantly judged for our wealth..
EDGAR
(To BONDIE & Vanessa) All those poor people can get to where we are to... All they have to do is work hard; and get off benefits..
BONDIE
(to EDGAR) But I don't think that's the case sometimes Dad..
EDGAR
(confused; to BONDIE) What... What do you mean BONDIE?
BONDIE
(to EDGAR) I don't think there's a lot of opportunities out there for everyone... I mean.. how many musicians want to be successful; and they never make it... How many people are hoping to break it into HOLLYWOOD; and never make it... I just feel it's the lotto to be successful; and at the top of the competition. Yes skill; but lots and loads of LUCK..
(EDGAR thinks to what his daughter is saying; and starts to agree)
EDGAR
(to VANESSA) What can I say? You learn things from your child every day... (to BONDIE) Bonnie.. that does have me thinking... only a handful of people get successful. Most people would love to be born rich; but most aren't..
BONDIE
(to EDGAR) Father... when I inherit your wealth... I want to make changes in this town MOLETON. I want to invest in business ideas; talents; and make their dreams become a reality... I was born lucky and rich... but I want to help the poor get that to..
(EDGAR smiles at his daughter's philanthropic efforts. He looks at VANESSA)
EDGAR
(smiles to VANESSA) Our daughter sure is becoming a philanthropist... I love it... (to BONDIE) Sure Bondie... I will work with you to make things happen now... I will do so with my wealth... and you can continue on once you inherit my wealth...
(BONDIE smiles at her father)
EDGAR
(to family) Well family... We do have a broadcast interview show on UP-TO-MELTON tonight... (to BONDIE) Bonnie... they're potentially going to ask you what you wish to do when you inherit my wealth... and you will answer them... (to VANESSA) VANESSA... the usual questions. Our goals and visions in the city of MOLETON..
VANESSA
(smiles to EDGAR) Okay... okay... let's do this...
