Hey everyone, this is my first message here, but I've been reading the forum for a while and it's been helping me a lot.
Maybe you can help me out on this one. I'm writing a short script about a maid that has to find a way to get a great amount of money really quickly to pay her son's debt with gangsters.
Protag asks her boss for a loan and he agrees, but she has to wait until he comes back from a party. Boss is not coming back in time for her to pay the debt and she'll have to steal from him.
So the thing is: I have to find a way to make time pass between protag thinking problem's already solved to protag realizing she's still in trouble. Difficulty is that she thinks she's ok now, so there's no actual conflict for this small period. The option I could come up with was a series of shots of her cleaning the house, but this seems boring to me.
Any ideas or insights would be very much appreciated Hope I made myself clear, as english is not my native language. Thanks!
