LEAH KAPALDI

Babe, babe

[Shakes the sleeping spouse next to her]

I think there is something going on outside somewhere.

ERICK KAPALDI

[Wakes up and takes in the surroundings. He remembers where he is

and turns to his wife and looks past her towards the window]

What is it?

[listens]

What are they saying? I don’t understand a word.

LEAH KAPALDI

It sounds crazy. I don’t know. Do something.

ERIC KAPALDI

Huh? Like what now…

LEAH KAPALDI

I don’t know, you are the man. Think of something!

DAVID PABRAT

[Jerks his head up. Looks at his wife who has a bewildered look on her]

Is that our son watching TV at this hour?

SALLY MABRAT

I can’t tell. All I can hear is something that doesn’t make sense. Go

check out on that son of yours.

SIMON SENECA

[Swipes away the pillow]

What now!

MOLLY WAILER

[a baby cry erupts in the Wailer household]

Oh dear.
