I saw a homeless man with the face of an angel sitting near 72nd and Broadway yesterday, making a meal of things from garbage cans. I offered him a few dollars. He smiled, took the money – and handed it back!

\”I don\’t use money,\” he smiled, \”but thank you so much!\”

Wow! Do any of you think this would make an amazing scene in the right movie?

Hollywood has always loved telling stories about down-on-their-luck people, like Robin Williams in The Fisher King or the interaction between William Powell and Carole Lombard in My Man Godfrey.

  1. This is definitely one of these "WOW!"-scenes ;) Life has some amazing moments to offer; we just have to keep our eyes and ears open.

    When I paid a visit to San Diego old town, I had a very similar experience I'd like use in a script some day. I was eating salad at a restaurant on its porch with a friend and my family. Suddenly my attention was drawn to a man, who looked more like a homeless guy, but also like an artist. He was drawing a portrait of a woman. It was more like in a dream. I watched the man and then he kinda reminded me of Hugh Jackman (as Van Helsing), that's how he looked like as I looked him deeply in the eyes. So he was drawing that woman and once I got my eyes off him he suddenly disappeared. He looked as if he came from another time and another place. Maybe my mind was going crazy in the heat *G
