Scene 1

JASON: Bye-bye, Tan! See you tomorrow.

TAN: Too bad you cant come for the motorcycle race at 12 a.m.
JASON: My parents wont let me.
TAN: Too bad. (walks away)
(JASON walks back home. On the way he sees a grand Lamborghini parked at the side of the road with RICH
MAN sitting in it)
JASON: Wow, thats a nice car! How does he afford it? That guy sitting in it looks so young... about the same
age as my 21 year old brother. Mom and dad work good jobs but they could never buy such a thing as this. Hey,
mister, you have a nice car.
RICH MAN: Kid, this is only one of my toys. I have got six Audis, two Bentleys and three Chevrolets in my
garage at my mansion.
JASON: You have what? (dumbfounded)
RICH MAN: You heard me, kid. (speaks very coolly as if it didnt matter) Six Audis, two Bentleys and three
Chevrolets. And two Ferraris at my Malibu Point mansionand a boat parked at my private boathouse in Greece.
JASON: How do you get all the money to buy all that stuff? My mu and dad have to save and hoard money
every month even though they get paid about five grand a month. All their salaries combined together wont
even get the monthly instalment of that car down.
RICH MAN: Five grand a month? I pity you, kid. (laughs rather sadly) Five grand? Wow.
JASON: I know, its a lot of money.
RICH MAN: No, its not. I earn even more than that in a single day!
JASON: How much?
RICH MAN: Kid, come here and Ill tell you.
(JASON listens closely and his face contorts into that of utter shock and disbelief)
JASON: Youve got more money than that this whole town combined!
RICH MAN: Yeah. By the way, you can call me Ray.
JASON: Im Jason. Nice to meet you, Ray.
(JASON and RICH MAN does hand clasping )
JASON: But how do you earn so much money? Did you get a degree or a diploma for a big job?
RAY: Nah, degrees waste my time. I bet your ma and pa got degrees, yet they are dirt poor.
JASON: Your dad is freaking rich? Did grandpa left you a ton of money?
RAY: My dad was a postman. Never made more than fifty-thousand in his entire life before a mail van backed
over him.And grandpa was a chronic gambler. He left me nothing but his shoes.
JASON: Oh, Im sorry.
RAY: Dont be. Look, you ask a lot, Jason, and what I can tell you is this. I got filthy rich by doing business,
shares and stocks. The money from these stuff, I used it to buy some pretty shiny property at the East Coast.
Some dude bought one of my bungalows there to turn it into a resort, and I still get a big piece of the pie today.
With lots of dough rolling in, I put some pretty awesome investments into some crazy companies. My latest

venture was with a plane company in Los Angeles. The company is making a giant profit by offering air-limo
services for prom nights.
JASON: (just looks speechless)
RAY: Oh, I get it. Ive put too much info for your tiny head to size up. I forgot you were a dirt-poor pauper.
JASON: No, Ray! How did you get rich.I mean, set up a business and do all that stuff.
RAY: (looks at his watch) Oh, dear. I have to go now . I need to fetch the college girls to their next party in
fifteen-minutes time. Sorry, kid, I dont have time to stick around. But you can call this number, I will write it
down here.... And one more thing, its all about the business. Just go into business. Its no secret, kid! Trust me!
See ya.
(RAY drives off in a jiffy, leaving Jason there)
JASON: Oh no! Ray may be so rich, but his handwriting is so bad! Look at the numbers. Is that a 4 or an X? Or
is it 7? I cant read it! Im screwed! How am I supposed to get rich now?!

Scene 2
JASON: Hey, bro. How do I get rich?
ELDER BRO: Little brother, why do ask such a question? Dont worry about getting rich. All you need to do is
to study hard, make some good friends and get a good job with excellent benefits. Dont spend like crazy and
put away a little money for retirement. Yeah, you might not be rich, but you will have a comfortable life.
JASON: Why you dont want to get rich? I saw a rich guy today who was driving a super nice car! He had more
of those at home, and he called them toys. That guy got so many houses. He also could drive chicks around.
ELDER BRO: Chicks? You mean the yellow and fluffy chicken babies, right? Why does he carry baby chicks
everywhere?
JASON: No, bro. (sighs heavily out of frustration) He was carrying girls around.
ELDER BRO: Little brother, money is very important. But, it is not enough to be just rich. One needs to be rich
in CHRIST in this world! Call to Him and He will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do
not know.' (Jeremiah 33:3) Gods word has much more wealth than you ever know!
(ELDER BRO pats JASON on his back)
ELDER BRO: Look, I know you are worried about not having enough in the future. But remember, little
brother, God owns the entire world! I am sure God is able to give you all the baby chicks you want. Well, that is
if God says so. Little brother, don't think too much about getting rich, okay?
JASON: (just nods in agreement)

Scene 3
TAN: Hah? Your parents say like that ah?
JASON: What do you expect? I always get that kind of thing, being from a Christian family.
TAN: Gosh, no wonder your parents can never get a big bungalow or fast cars! Later when the girls see you, you
shame-shame ah!
JASON: I know right?! I met a rich guy called Ray who told me to call him so that he can show me how to get
rich, but his handwriting is so bad, I cant read it.
TAN: Dei, show me the card. (looks at it) Jason, you got cheated! There are all kinds of scams going about
trying to get your money. Plenty of bad guys who want to make you look stupid by offering help, only to take
your money and run away!
JASON: What?
TAN: I know right. You see that old geezer across the street there. He lost all his money in a scam. Some fellow
asked him to pay RM500,000 for some fishy investment and he would be a millionaire, only for him to find out
that the fellow was a Nigerian thief! But hang on a sec. I know a few tricks to get rich.
JASON: How?

Scene 4

(the boys go into a pub, where there are lots of gangsters drinking,smoking or playing cards)
GANGSTER 1: Hey, I heard you want to get rich. You sure you want to do it, kid?
JASON: Err, you sure we are in the right place.
TAN: Come on! I have been here for quick cash many times already! I didnt need to go ask my old man for
money any more. Besides I already have ten thousand in the bank already.
JASON: Wait, why didnt you tell me earlier?..
GANGSTER 1: Because you are a loser, kid. But if you want the dough, you had better stop being chicken and
man up! And I can show you how. And all you have to do is to do exactly what I tell you to do.
JASON: So I will get rich if I do what I tell you?
TAN: Come on, Jason. You want to stay poor and sad?
JASON: (unsure and reluctant) OK
(Later in a bar)
GANGSTER 1: Hey, heres a miracle machine. Just put a coin in it and see what youll get.
JASON: Wait, is it a slot machine?
(ALL freeze in time leaving JASON moving about. Goes to flashback memory mode.)
JASON: Hey, I remember my elder brother telling me not to gamble my money away. I'll lose it all in the end.
He told me to instead use that money to pay tithe to God and to bless others who are in need. Err... okay, this is
just me remembering my elder bro's advice in the past.
(SCENE continues)
GANGSTER 1: No, its not! Its a miracle machine.
JASON: Miracle machine?
GANGSTER 1: Hell, I lose a whole days earnings on a slot machine! Burns a hole so big in my wallet at you
could fit a whale through it. But this miracle machine is different. No matter what you do, youll get more cash
from that tiny coin. Now thats something to bring home to your grandma!
JASON: Let me try. (Puts a ten-cent coin inside and pulls the lever. Voila! He gets $500)
GANGSTER 1: Wow, you got lucky.erm (coughs nervously) fortunate. I sometimes get only a hundred.
JASON: Wow, this is awesome. Just one coin and all this money comes out!
TAN: No sweat, pal. You dont have to work like a pig in an office anymore like your dad does.
GANGSTER 1: Hit it again, boy!
(JASON puts another and pulls lever but nothing happens)
GANGSTER 1: Try again! (slams the machine lightly) Maybe it needs a kick in the ass.
(JASON repeats and voila, a neat stack of $300 dollars comes out.)
TAN: There, its good free money! Take it and spend on whatever crap you want!
JASON: Yeah! I AM RICH! I CAN PICK UP ALL THE GIRLS I WANT!!
GANGSTER 1: (whispering to TAN) Its a slot machine all right.
(TAN just shrugs)

Scene 5

(JASON and TAN are selling drugs. They distribute 'drugs' to the audience. They make good business.)
JASON: Why didnt you tell me about this gold business earlier? There is so much good money! I thought
business was hard.
TAN: Well, not a lot of folks know about this. Besides, poor people like your parents are too scared to try big
stuff that makes you a man.
GANGSTER 1: Hey kid, have a cigarette. True men must know how to enjoy these kind of things.
(JASON smokes like a boss, then starts coughing like crazy)
GANGSTER 1 : Now thats what Im talking about!
(police siren can be heard in the distance)
GANGSTER 1 : Tan, you heard that?
TAN: Its the fuzz!
JASON: Whats that siren?
GANGSTER 1: Err(tries to look cool but is sweating, fans himself profusely) I think its an ambulance.
Nothing serious. Just keep on selling, kid. (runs away)
TAN: Err.I want to go get some ice-cream. You want a cone?
JASON: Yes, sure. (siren goes louder and TAN runs away)
JASON: Hey, where are you going? Dont you want your stuff?
POLICE OFFICER: Freeze! Dont move! You are under arrest for selling illegal substances!
JASON: Illegal? What illegal? This is gold Im selling here. Anything wrong about selling gold?
POLICE: Gold?! Does this look like gold to you? (tears open one of the packs to reveal white powder) You are
under arrest! (forces JASON to the ground with hands behind) Youll have to come back to the station with me!
Selling drugs right there in front of everyone? Youre a menace to society, you know that?

Scene 6

(At the POLICE STATION)

JASON: Bro! Im sorry. I didnt know they were tricking me into doing drugs!
ELDER BRO: It's alright, little brother. Thank God you are safe and sound! You know, someone paid bail for
you. God's merciful hand was upon you, the police even dropped charges against you! Well, let's meet the kind
stranger who helped you out of this mess.
(RAY comes in)
RAY: What the heck happened to you, Jason?
ELDER BRO: Ray? What are you doing here, man? Its been a long time! (slaps RAY on the back)Wait, little
bro, you knew him?
RAY: Thats the rich man I met in the streets. He gave me his number, but I couldnt read his writing
RAY: Ha! Ha! Ha! This world is really small, Fred.
ELDER BRO: Little brother, RAY and I were schoolmates. We played hockey together in school. Wow, this is a
wonderful coincidence!
JASON: Why are you rich and why my elder brother is not if you were both friends?
RAY: What do you mean your brother is not rich? Hes RICH. He has God in his life! Im still single. Ladies,
call me. (gestures to the audience) And you know what? HIS advice made me rich! He used to tell me back then
even when we were kids: Go close to God, and He will never forsake us. So I kept to that principle. I made
businesses, gave to my church and charities and reached out to newcomers to help them to be successful. Give
what is in your cups and platesJesus used to say. (Luke 11.41) And I would always ask God for his favour in
whatever I did. Ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you.
(Luke 11:9)
JASON: You prayed?
RAY: Well, man does not live on bread alone but on every word that God speaks. I read His Word to see what
He wants me to do, and I do it, and get blessed!
JASON: (awestruck) So let me get this straight. You depend on God for wealth.
RAY: You got it! So you dont have to go to anybody to get rich! Go to God. But dont just ask for money! Ask
for His will. Obey His Will and you will blessed even more than you ever need. That is the true secret to my
wealth. You know, boy. You should listen to your brother. Hes blessed with wisdom from God
JASON: Bro, from now on, I will obey Gods will and I will do my best to live every day according to His
purposes.
ELDER BRO: Ha! Ha! I am happy that my little brother has decided to turn over a new leaf. You know, it is
written in the book of Jeremiah. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper
you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11) I know that God has great plans
for my little brother in the future! But for now, my little brother needs a good meal.
RAY: Maybe we should go out to a steak restaurant later to catch up on things, Fred.
ELDER BRO: Sounds good. Lets go.
