Dawn will Come

Woman gets on a full bus and refuses to get off even though it's full and she's the last one on. She's not going to Shanghai "to play" she said. Teenage boy offers her his seat, and he would just sit on somebody's arm rest. Driver won't stand for it and kicks the teenager off, with the woman looking on. Sure taught that kid...

Father and daughter get on the subway to beg for money. The father is blind while the girl's hands are deformed. Victims of a fire. Looks of disgust and pity.

Old lady by the exit of the subway station asks a young guy for his finished pop bottle. She could use it she says. He obliges by throwing it at her.

Mother and daughter beg on the side of the street outside the Omega store, faces dirty. Child can't be older than five. They look like they're starving.

And yet, the signs are everywhere.

"...You're the Light in this darkness
You're the Hope to the hopeless
You're the Peace to the restless
You are

...Greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this City
Greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done here." - Chris Tomlin

Dialogue

- Cat, he's not "my driver" per se, just an illegal taxi driver I befriended. He can speak basic English, but charges a premium for his services.
- Free, those times are long behind me. Haven't had one since!
- Tim, it was fun, but it was mainly the atmosphere of being there. It's still one of those sports best watched on TV.
- Em, my cousin doesn't qualify for GP2 yet; he has to finish on the podium for the F3 season first, no easy feat.
- Euge, life is sure hard... and I'll be working in more ST references in the future.
