The Return Address - Short film

POLAROID MAIN TITLE Aaron. Aaron, more 4-by-5s. Now. Gently. Gently, gently. You have to be careful. Just leave it. I'll do it. This one is beautiful. ROBIN: This one? WOMAN: Mm-hm. The kid took that. I love it. Between you and me... ...he can hardly handle the broom. Oh, Aaron. Now, how many times do I have to tell you? Come on. Now, that's 10 cents you owe me. Oh, where's today's posts? Look, just go home. Just finish it from home. ROBIN'S PHOTOGRAPHY AARON: What's this? It's my watch from the railroad. Your name's not on it, Pop. But that's our address. That's not your name. Where's your grandmother? She's at the grocery. I was a 4A man then. But they didn't draft me because I had a family. [LAUGHING] So Joe and me, well, we went down to the coal mines to get a job... ...and you know what the foreman tells me? He says, "If I were you, I would move into the big city." So that's what I did. I moved to.... [STAMMERS] To.... Brooklyn. Brooklyn. Brooklyn, that's right. We moved to Brooklyn. Yup, we sure did. And then I got a job with the railroad... ...and I was a railroad man. You know, the railroad's gonna send me my watch any day now. I know, Pop. I know. Wait, son. Where's your grandmother? She's sleeping at Aunt Janey's. Oh, she's not coming home tonight? You should get some sleep, Pop. [INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE] [DOOR OPENS] Dad... ...it's not there. Sir. MAN: We're looking for this picture. Oh. Yes. Well, I no longer have that particular composition... ...but I've got plenty of others. Please, come this way. But I wanted that one. My, my. You've got the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. I wanna take your picture, darling. Come on. Lower the light three inches. Lower the light three inches, Aaron. Aaron, would you lower the light three inches, please? You with me or against me? Thank you. Nice. And.... Wonderful. ROBIN'S PHOTOGRAPHY I knew this wouldn't work. Grubbing punk like you. Just get out. Just get out. POST AVE ROBIN'S PHOTOGRAPHY -It's mine. -I already told you, it's not yours. It's my watch, I know it. Pop, your watch is in your pocket. I'm taking this back. This was sent to the wrong address. I'm just gonna leave it here.
