• INT. LIVING ROOM – NIGHT


• Nicholas crouches by the front window. He’s got his coat and hat on. All the lights are off. Lincoln’s Head is on the floor by his feet.


• LINCOLN’S HEAD
• Is this really how you want them to find you when they arrive?


• NICHOLAS FREDLAND
• No, the point is they won’t be able to find me.


• LINCOLN’S HEAD
• Then why do you have your coat on?


• NICHOLAS FREDLAND
• Because it snowed again and there’s this little voice in my head screaming, “Clean the walk! Clean the walk!”.


• LINCOLN’S HEAD
• And you’re wondering if you can clear it before they get here.


• NICHOLAS FREDLAND
• I’ve got ten minutes but ever since those two got married they’ve been acting all adult and responsible.


• LINCOLN’S HEAD
• The very nerve.


• NICHOLAS FREDLAND
• They have a horrible habit of arriving early.
• (standing)
• But I gotta do it.


• Nicholas opens the front door and bolts outside.


• LINCOLN’S HEAD
• God bless.


• EXT. DUPLEX – NIGHT


• Nicholas shovels the walk. He’s twitchy and his nerves are shot. Every car that drives down the street freaks him out.


• He finishes the the sidewalk and the steps that lead up to his half of the duplex. He rushes back onto the porch and notices that the Kleen’s steps are still covered. They’re ELDERLY. He should really do their side too.
