A new book to film series, I need everyone to contribute scenes for us to act out in the streets of Toronto..

A wino weaves on his feet, sliding down on bowed knees only to jerk upright in a study of change of state.

"Change please," he slurs, outstretching a hand.

An old woman in passing pauses and looks at the wino. "Change comes from inside," she says, pressing an index finger against the wino's stinking shirt. Then she goes away.

"Change this," the wino says, flipping the bird.

A young man gives him change.

"Thanks for the change"

"Don't they usually pick on fat kids at school?" I say, stepping up behind them.

"It's cool to be fat now," the pig-nosed one on the left says without skipping a beat.

"Bullying him doesn't get us in trouble," says the kid in spectacles.

I am astonished. "Why don't you guys move on?" I say.

"I'll buy you beer," the wino says at them with through a servile smile.

"Beer? Yuck," says the bespectacled kid. "That's where your big belly came from."
"Yeah, too much beer, it's obvious," I say. "Besides we wouldn't want you going to prison for buying us UNDERAGE kids alcohol!"
"You kids don't know it but the laws have changed a lot since I was your age... Winos bought me a lot of beer back then and I'd like to do the same for you."

"Haven't you heard of gateway drugs?" asks Pig-nose.

"Yeah!" Spectacles rolls his eyes. "Alcohol is so... blasé."

Fat Kid busts out in a dance, rapping, "If you need the number, 1-800-Starblocks
Coca latte, damned to make your heart stop."

I'm agape, unsure if it's because the fat kid's doing handsprings or because I know a Gorilla Zoe song.

Spectacles punches Fat Kid in the stomach. The wino giggles.

The wino says, "See that? If you were liquored up, you'd be hugging and singing drinking songs together, instead of fighting. Come on, let me buy you kids some beer."
The kids leave and the wino sits down on the curb. He picks his nose, cleans his ears.
Eventually a sexy woman in her 20s approaches him. She pulls a few dollars from her lowcut blouse and slips them into his shaking hands.
