FRANK GARCIA, 51, crossing guard, sits patiently on a bus bench in the morning sun, holding a stop sign.
A bus approaches, but rolls past him, and Frank holds up his arms – and the stop sign. The bus comes to a stop. He gets on, swipes his card, and sits.
Cut to Frank getting off the bus. He walks down a sidewalk in a busy neighborhood, passing an older man, who clutches his heart as his pacemaker stops.
As he walks past a landscaper using a very loud leafblower, the leafblower stops. The landscaper checks the on/off switch.
Frank turns into the walkway of a garden apartment building, passing a yappy Jack Russell, who suddenly quiets and sits. Frank enters his apartment, puts his stop sign on a coffee table, picks up a remote and turns on the midday news.
