Nighthawks by Edward Hopper
1942

 

 

 

Rodney: Rodney is the one wearing a hat sitting beside his redhead wife, Sophia. He is very caring and loving and has just moved down here from Australia. Now he lives with his wife and son who is about to turn 14.

 

Sophia: Sophia is Rodney's redhead wife. Her 14 year old son is sitting near her as well as is her father. They are trying to figure out how to help him in school since his grades have gone down a lot. Sophia is from Australia just like her husband.

 

Eugene: Eugene is Sophia's and Rodney's son. He thinks that they are overreacting about his grades. All he wants to do is go home and sleep in his comfortable bed. Eugene was born here but his parents are from Australia.

 

Ben: Ben is the grandfather with the white hair. He use to be in the military so he has some scar son his face. He is originally from Germany but he moved to Australia when he had Sophia.

 

 

 1 Eugene " Mom why are we here? My grades are not even that bad, I'm only failing like 2 classes!"

 

2 Ben: " Don't talk to your mother like that son. What do you think would have happened to me is I said something like that to one of my commanders in the army?"

 

3 Sophia " It's ok father. Eugene we are here because failing 2 classes is enough to start worrying. We need to discuss what we are going to do about it as a family over some coffee."

 

4 Rodney " Believe it or not son, we really do care about you and want you to have a successful life."

 

5 Eugene " If you care about me than why wont you let me go home and sleep!?!?!?!"

 

  Eugene got off and stormed out of the diner and into the street of the nights.

 

6 Sophia " COME BACK SWEETIE, DON'T DO THIS!!!"

 

  Eugene didn't seem to care or even think about how dangerous it is to be outside this late when he is only 13 years old.

 

7 Rodney " Maybe we should go after him and try to calm him down?"

 

8 Ben " He will be fine, why is he so mad anyway?"

 

9 Rodney " Because apparently we never let him go out with his friends. like today he wanted to go to some party and we told him no because something dangerous can always happen in the nighttime."

 

10 Ben " Well it can, he needs to learn."

 

11 Sophia " yes he does, just hopefully not the hard way."

 

   They all went home hoping to find Eugene locked in his room, But he wasn't there.

 

12 Rodney " Maybe we should call the police and report him ass missing?"

 

13 Sophia " That would be a good idea."

 

14 Ben " I'll call them now."

 

  As Ben called the police Sophia went and got some hot chocolate.

 

15 Rodney "Maybe he went to that party?"

 

16 Sophia " I doubt it, even if he did I think it's over by now so he would have been home by now either way."

 

17 Rodney "Ok well lets just go to bed and see what happens tomorrow"

 

 They all went to bed, but not for long. They woke up to somebody banging on their door at four in the morning. Hoping it was Eugene, Sophia rushed to the door in her robes. She saw a police car out front. She opened the door only to find a police officer standing there.

 

18 Sophia " Have you found my boy yet?"

 

19 Police officer " I have good news and bad news."

 

20 Sophia " WELL???"

 

21 Police officer " The good new is yes we found him. The bad news is that his funeral is Thursday afternoon. "
