- ACT 1
- Look at this city. I told you it was a killer view.
- Barb, her boyfriend Rodney, and Rodney's brother Tonto arrived in Toronto. They're from the otter lake first nations territory. They're here to tell Barb's sister Janice that their mom passed away. Janice\Grace was sent to a adoption family at an early age and disconnect from her heritage.
- Janice's home
- When in Toronto, do as the Torontonians do.
- This is a bad idea, Tonto, this is breaking and entering.
- They entered Janice's house and they love the decoration.
- Don't touch anything.
- No wonder she didn't want to stay at our place. After seeing this apartment, I don't wanna stay at our place.
- Barb, go look at her bathroom.
- Look at this apartment!
- Suddenly, the rattle and click of keys in a lock is heard. The door opens and Janice\Grace enters with her luggage.
- I'm gonna hide in her closet!
- Everybody hide!
- S#@t!
- I'm so tired.
- Grace, Mom passed away four days ago. Her funeral is yesterday and I wanted you to be there. But you didn't return our messages...
- Grace! Take it easy. It's us!
- 911! 911!
- What are you doing here? In my apartment?
- Janice open the closet and find Tonto. She punches him solidly.
- Uh,hi....
- Barb, Tonto and Rodney try to bring Janice back to Otter Lake, but she refuse to do that. It is dark outside, they decided to sleep at Janice's house.
- Janice. Um, we need a place to stay for the night. Tonto has night blindness so he can't drive at night.
- I knew her for one hour, that was all.
- You're all welcome to stay if you want.
- I'm sorry about Anne. And I'll do what I can if you need any help. But going back... I can't.
- It's the proper thing to do.
- I don't have night blindness.
- You have to go back, she's your mother!
- The next morning, Tonto gets up early and went out for 'real' coffee. He and Janice talk for a while.
- Simple. Why not? There are more reasons for me to be here than somewhere else.
- I went out and got some real, good stuff an hour ago.
- Janice, you and I are kinda related. Both being raised by other people. I was raised on the reserve by Rodney's parents. I don't have to be here, you know.
- After the conversations with Tonto, Janice decide to go back with them
- You have some interesting theories.
- Hey, what's this? Coffee! where'd you get this?
- I should go back with them.
- Then why are you here?
