TYPED DIALOGUE FOR CONVENIENCE:
ROBBER: Could you do me a favor?
CLERK: Yes?
ROBBER: Could you empty that till for me please and put it right here?
CLERK: What do you mean?
ROBBER: Empty the till put the till right here because I'm robbing you, sir.
CLERK: You sure?
ROBBER: Yes I'm sure.
CLERK: Why do you want to do that?
ROBBER: Cause I need the money, I've got kids that need to be fed sir.
CLERK: I know...[noise interference covers speech]...
ROBBER: ...I know I am sir, I realize that. And I'm really, I really am sorry to have to do this. But I've got kids.
CLERK: How about today I give you forty dollars and this is it?
ROBBER: Well, [sigh] I can't do that. I've got rent to pay I've got bills...and the kids need to eat.
- Clerk starts removing money from till -
ROBBER: Thank you very much I appreciate it and I really am sorry and if I ever get back on my feet again sir, I'll bring it back.
CLERK: That's alright. God be with you man.
ROBBER: Thank you very much and with you too.
CLERK: Thank you.
-Bell rings on door-
When a person is so desperate to do the right thing for his family that he commits a crime that he could go to jail for, you know there is something seriously wrong with the economy. Not with him.
Just a friendly reminder to readers to consider 360 degrees of any situation. Understanding, not shaming and punishing, will make us better.
