Idea for a movie:
A small-time jewelry maker is taking the bus to a local craft fair, carrying a suitcase full of her wares. Maybe she talks to some other passengers, shows them some of her work and talks about the craft fair she’s going to.
She’s not very optimistic, since she hardly ever sells enough to be worth going to these things, but she’s gonna keep trying.
As soon as she gets off the bus, a thief intercepts her and tries to steal her suitcase full of jewelry.
She gives the thief a blank look. “What are you gonna do with it if you steal it?”
“...Um, sell it, of course.”
And she flips out. “OMG you know someone who will BUY my stuff?
...I have been trying to sell this crap for YEARS!! Listen, I will GIVE you this bag of jewelry, I will BRING you MORE tomorrow, if you’ll just introduce me to WHOEVER YOU KNOW who is willing to pay MONEY for this!!!”
and it turns out the jeweler just needed to find the right market for her creations; and it turns out the fence knows all the right people
they go into business together, jeweler making jewelry and thief selling it to the fence, all the while trying to keep the embarrassing secret that these hot stolen goods that all the shady customers want to buy aren’t actually stolen
