The One About Ernie (Part 1)

INT.  SUNNYSIDE SHOPPING CENTRE.  DAY.
See ERNIE, skeletal and ancient, a hearing aid in his ear, driving a Cordoba motorised wheelchair along the Upper Tier.  We see some SHOPPERS stepping out of the way as they see him bearing down on them.  We see a SMALL CHILD, oblivious, about to be mown down.  A hand grabs the hood of the CHILD's coat as ERNIE blasts past.

MOTHER
(To ERNIE)  Watch it, will yer?

But ERNIE can't hear a thing.  He tips her a salute as he passes, all smiles.

ERNIE
(To THE MOTHER)  How do.

MOTHER
(To the disappearing ERNIE)  Look
where you're fuckin' going.
