A man instructs his assistant to draft a contract while reflecting on an elusive woman from five years ago. Nearby, a vendor tries to overcharge a boy for popcorn, but the man intervenes and intimidates the vendor into giving it for free. The boy's companion praises the man's actions, revealing this was a staged performance. After the actors leave, the boy approaches the man, calls him 'Daddy,' and asks why he abandoned him and his mother. Before the stunned man can respond, the boy panics, announcing his mother is arriving.
