Jack: It was October of 1923, a cool night, yet peaceful. The baltimore streets were crowded, and jazz music blared from every other club. I was doing the usual--hanging out with friends, going to the bar, basically just having fun. When all of a sudden--
Black person 1: Excuse me!
Jack: What?
BP 1: Are you Jack Tompson
Jack: Why yes I am?
BP 1: You never payed us back on the loan!
Jack: *looks around* What are you talking--
BP 1: *grabs jacks colour* You very much know what I'm talking about
Jack: *stares, then suddenly realizes that he forgot to pay the man back his debt* I have the money right here sire *pulls something out that's not the money*
BP 1: Don't fool with us!
Jack: *runs away*
Scene 2
Jack: *panting* as it turned out, I had promised the warner brothers that I would give them some money. But I couldn't have lost it...but then again I can't really remember what I did the night before...all I remember was going to Vickys, a girl I'd hooked up with at the bars house last night. Maybe I'd left it their...or maybe she stole it!
Jack: Hey Vicky
Vicky: Oh hey jack *giggles* did you come to visit me?
Jack: Of course! I'd missed you from last night.
Vicky: Oh well why don't you come on in...
Jack: *nods*
Vicky: I was glad you'd come tonight
Jack: Yeah, did I leave anything here last night
Vicky: Umm no.... *giggles*
Jack: That is a very nice necklace your wearing vicky
Vicky: Thanks I got it at the pawn shop for *jack starts looking at her stuff*
Jack: Vicky I think someone is at the door
Vicky: okay
Jack: *Starts to look though Vicky's clothes and underwear drawn*
Vicky: Jack, no one is at the door--Wait what are you doing!
Jack: O-o-oh nothing!
Vicky: * gasps then snatches her bra back*
Jack: It's not what is *vicky slaps him, then kicks him out of the house*
Jack's friend: Oh hey buddy!
Jack: *rubbs his cheek* Oh hey
Friend: What happened?
Jack: Vicky just slapped me
Friend: Though
Jack: And I had this diamond I was going to use to pay back my debt...but I've seem to misplace it
Friend: Wait...by diamond do you mean that rock you gave me a couple nights ago
Jack: What?
Friend: Yeah, last night you were drunk and told me to hold *pulls out the diamond* this rock for you
Jack: Oh thanks man this is exactly what I need!
Friend: No problem bro, anytime
Jack: So eventually I was able to pay back my debt, without getting beat up. But what I did learn is that you should be careful with the things you own and also responsibility, because you never know what trouble it can get you in!
