59 INT. HOLT HOME - DINING ROOM - NEXT AFTERNOON 59<br />

Doug is at the table doing homework. The DOORBELL RINGS.<br />

Doug starts to get up as Helen comes out of the kitchen.<br />

I'll get it.<br />

HELEN<br />

60 INT./EXT. HOLT FRONT DOOR/FRONT YARD - CONTINUOUS ACTION - 60<br />

DAY<br />

Helen opens the screen door and finds a well-dressed<br />

woman standing in the yard with her face turned away.<br />

Hello?<br />

HELEN<br />

The woman turns -- it is Joan Abbott. Helen is<br />

momentarily caught off balance by Joan's bristling<br />

presence.<br />

HELEN<br />

Joan. How are you?<br />

JOAN<br />

May I have a word with you, Helen?<br />

HELEN<br />

Of course, come in.<br />

JOAN<br />

No... no, I don't have time...<br />

thank you.<br />

61 INT. HOLT DINING ROOM AND FRONT DOOR - CONTINUOUS ACTION 61<br />

Doug spies on Joan and Helen and their curious exchange<br />

through a dining room window. Unable to hear their words<br />

he can only witness how their words are spoken.<br />

62 EXT. HOLT HOME - DOUG'S POV 62<br />

Helen steps off the porch and approaches Joan, who is<br />

doing most of the talking -- but Joan seems to require a<br />

certain distance from Helen and works her way to her<br />

Chrysler Town & Country station wagon parked at the curb.<br />

Joan grows more and more agitated as she talks.<br />

63 INT. HOLT HOME - ENTRYWAY 63<br />

Eager to hear what is being said, Doug dashes through the<br />

living room to the front door.
