The first scene from In The Heights, where Usnavi finds Graffiti Pete trying to vandalize his store’s wall. This sets the tone of the musical, and is our first meeting with the show’s protagonist, Usnavi De La Vega.
(Sunrise. A radio switches through different stations.)
[RADIO VOICE]
Yo, pull out them kiddie pools and call me up with your sizzling summer scandal. Tomorrow's the Fourth of July but we're kicking off the celebration tonight with fireworks at the marina! It's going to be a scorcher!
(A beat comes in. In the shadows, GRAFITTI PETE is revealed painting various walls in the neighboorhood. Enter USNAVI from his stoop.)
[USNAVI]
Yo, that's my wall!
[GRAFFITI PETE]
Pshh...
(GRAFFITTI PETE runs away. USNAVI turns to us)
