• INT. BEDROOM – NIGHT


• Nicholas is sound asleep in bed. He grinds his teeth.
  The door inches open.


• A black clad figure creeps into the room. I think it’s supposed to be a NINJA.


• The ninja stands silently before Nicholas and then makes a violent stabbing kind of motion.


• Nicholas springs up and starts screaming. He can just make out the outline of the ninja in the dark room.


• NICHOLAS FREDLAND
• What the hell!


• Nicholas pushes past the ninja and sprints out of the room.


• INT. HALLWAY – NIGHT


• At the end of the hallway, Nicholas reaches into the bathroom and flips on the light. The ninja stands in the bedroom doorway at the other end of the hallway.


• Nicholas grimaces in pain. He takes a quick glance at his left shoulder. There’s a FANCY TOOTHPICK sticking out of it.


• He pulls it out and faints from the sight of blood.


• INT. BATHROOM – MORNING


• Penelope brushes her teeth. Nicholas lies on the floor half in the bathroom half in the hallway.


• NICHOLAS FREDLAND
• Am I in the hospital?


• PENELOPE PENELOPE
• (with a mouth full of toothpaste)
• You’re on the floor.


• NICHOLAS FREDLAND
• I’m bleeding. I was attacked by a ninja.


• PENELOPE PENELOPE
• Huh.


• Nicholas rolls onto his side and looks at his wound. It’s just a tiny little thing. He lays back down and closes his eyes.
