7/8/2010 Dream about Seagulls Setting: South Korea, in a medium-sized coastal town, on a pier that houses numerous fish restaurants. Hong Family Fish Restaurant - small dingy family-owned restaurant at the end of the pier. Characters: Plot: The Seagull gang has taken over the pier. They are going from restaurant to restaurant demanding all of their fish! A young American long-term tourist is taking her lunchtime meal at the Hong Family Fish Restaurant when they hear the commotion and realize what's going on. The American sets up a blockade at the door with a chair while the Hongs scurry to gather all of the fish they have. The Head Gang Member of the Seagull Gang is making threats through the door, as the American tries to mediate. "Just give them all your fish!" She yells to the Hongs! "We offer them all the fish we have!" They yell back. "And still they not leave us alone!" "They are agreeing to give you all of their fish!" She yells to the Head Gang Member, as she tries to push the door shut and keep them out. "We know they've got more," the Head Gang Member replies cooly. "We're gonna break this door down, man!"
