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.
