Jimmie’s Big Positive Thinking Day – A Numeracy Wizard Story



EXT. SIDE STREET


Jimmie smoothly glides down a side street of Manhattan. Doing his dance moves twisting his body side to side. Skipping a little bit, and approaches an intersection with a crosswalk.



SARAH

Hey, Jimmie. You are looking good today.

JIMMIE

Thanks Sarah, I try hard to look this good.

SARAH

Well, you are working it.

JIMMIE

Just living with happy thoughts.

SARAH

(smiles)



Jimmie jumps over the crosswalk, can’t step on lines you know. Never know what is going to happen. Happily skipping down the middle of the street.


STRANGER

Wowee, you are mighty fine. Good enough to eat.

JIMMIE

Hey man, I told you. I am not into that.

STRANGER

Your loss! I am still gonna watch you walk away.



Jimmie, walks not so confidently away holding his hand out across his backside. Palm out. Aways down the street.


FLOWER GIRL

Holding your hand there makes you look like ummm… Weird.

JIMMIE

Heya, Flower!!

FLOWER GIRL

I have a name you know.

JIMMIE

Yes, but we both know I will forget it by tomorrow. Just like I did today.

FLOWER GIRL

Yeah, we do.

JIMMIE

(laughing)



Flower Girl gives Jimmie a flower.


JIMMIE

Thank you, I will call you flower girl from now on.

FLOWER GIRL

I know, you said that yesterday too.

JIMMIE

Oh, did I.

FLOWER GIRL

Yep, but every day you have a glow about you. Like there is some hidden talent, just waiting to come out.

JIMMIE

I am very talented at holding my hand by my back side.

FLOWER GIRL

Yeah, unfortunately…

JIMMIE

(laughing)



Jimmie saunters side ways down the street, keeping his back side away from Flower Girl.


CANDY CLOWN

Hey man, why you walk with your back side hanging out like that every day. Don’t ya, know how to just walk down the street.

JIMMIE

I am teasing Flower Girl.



Jimmie points up the street, and Candy Clown follows his finger. Nobody is there.


CANDY CLOWN

Hey man, you seeing things, hearing voices. Cause I need to get some of that, if it be true?

JIMMIE

I just practice math in the morning.

CANDY CLOWN

Oh hell no, I tried that once. Ended up with a real job, had responsibilities. I don’t need that again.

JIMMIE

Might be time to grow up, be a man. Learn to walk with one foot in front of the other. Would you not agree?

CANDY CLOWN

Agree!!! Hell no. You throwing my own words of wisdom back at me.

JIMMIE

Nah, I just practice math.

(smiles)



Jimmie and Candy Clown side skip down the sidewalk in unison. Hands behind their backsides. Everyday the same, everyday both of them getting a little better.
