EXT.LIVERPOOL PIER HEAD – DAY

Lots of tourists walk about between the Liver Buildings and
the river taking photos, but the huge space looks bare. A
bedraggled man, HENRY is shambling across the square and
asks people for change. He calls to a suited man, ALEX early
30’s smartly dressed. Carries a briefcase. Walks
quickly, eyes and mind elsewhere.

HENRY mid 20’s dressed casually. A haughty look.

HENRY
Mornin boss, beautiful day.

The suited man turns his head and his pace slows a
little. Henry seizes his chance and moves in, big smile and
walks with Alex.
