Set in an upper-middle class house. Arthur - (An adult) The subject of a portrait painted by the daughter of the household. Jack- (Late twenties) The man who is attempting to burgle the house.
Arthur wakes up. ARTHUR: Quarter to three. God. What is it with me. I used to never be up this late you know. Ever since I was put hanging here my sleeping pattern's been awfully disjointed. The other day the woman who lives here was dusting. She almost knocked me right off the wall. Madwoman. I was hanging askew for God knows how long. I don't know what she's at sometimes. If it happens again I think I'm going to snap. Literally. I think the string holding me up is going to snap. At least she cleans the room. She does a good job I suppose. I don't know about her taste in furniture though. Especially the sofa. I like my sofa. I mean whenever they're sitting in it they don't seem particularly comfortable. Even if it is pink it should be nice to sit on surely. He seems to like it though. The woman's husband, that is. He always sits there when he's using his laptop. He's not the most interesting of people. I think he's an accountant. He's nice enough though. I have a feeling they're gone out tonight actually. They'll probably wake me whenever they come in. At whatever time that happens to be. I'll be lucky to get any sleep between now and tomorrow evening. Especially with it being the weekend. At least I think it's the weekend. I can't remember if they went to work today or not. Actually you know what they did. Yes because Ellie was running late for the school. I didn't tell you about Ellie, did I. Oh Ellie. What a girl. She's smart. Pretty too. Very artistic. She's got a couple of her works around the room. That statuette on the coffee table is her mother's favourite. She painted me a few years ago. Silence You know if it wasn't for her I don't think I'd like this place very much. Come to think of it if it wasn't for her I wouldn't be here at all. Silence I think I might try and get some sleep. What was that. Silence. Footsteps are heard from upstairs. Silence. Then something is heard falling down the stairs. Jack: Shit Arthur: There's someone there. Enter Jack. Oh my God. It's a burglar. Jack: There better be more down here. Arthur: This is terrible.
