• INT. RITZY MALL – NIGHT


• ROBERTA KLEEN sits on a FANCY CHAIR in front of a fancy store. She stares blankly into space.


• EMMANUELLE “CHAMP” BEETS sits down in the chair next to Mrs. Kleen and makes himself comfortable. He places a BAG OF LEFTOVERS on the floor next to his chair.


• His coat is zipped up all the way and he is wearing a ski cap even though it is very warm in the mall.


• EMMANUELLE “CHAMP” BEETS
• That’s a mighty comfortable chair.


• He smiles at the older woman but she doesn’t react at all.


• EMMANUELLE “CHAMP” BEETS
• Winter’s finally caught up with us. It’s starting to get cold out there.


• Still no reaction.


• EMMANUELLE “CHAMP” BEETS
• I had to ask my mom where my hat was.


• Again, no reaction


• EMMANUELLE “CHAMP” BEETS
• I’m going to have to dig up my scarf.


• “Champ” leans over.


• EMMANUELLE “CHAMP” BEETS
• Coo?


• He realizes that the woman hasn’t moved the whole time.


• EMMANUELLE “CHAMP” BEETS
• Are you dead?


• Spooked, he gets up and hurries away.


• When “Champ” is gone Roberta lets out a long breath. Then she starts to laugh.


• Roberta looks around to she if anyone saw her performance. Not seeing anyone, she stretches her neck, stands, and picks up the bag of leftovers.


• She goes off to do a little window shopping.
