Scene I

Scene II
Allie and Peter are standing outside and banging on a door. It’s cold out and there’s a bit of snow. A few multi-colored leaves litter the ground also. It’s early December. The sky is a deep blue, it’s probably between 11 and 12pm. Allie has a scarf on. This scarf is important.


Allie – (yelling) Come on Joey! I gotta be home before mamma wakes up!

Peter – (also yelling) We’ll leave without ya kid! I swear we will!

Allie – (giggling, quieter now) We can’t leave without him Peter. He’s the one with a car!

Peter – (pretending to think hard about this) I suppose you’re right ladybug. Guess we’ll just have to wait out here in the cold. (He sits on the steps. She sits next to him and he puts an arm around her shoulder)

Allie – You know I love you, right? (She stares up at him with wide eyes)

Peter – You know I think I have heard that somewhere. It’s a good thing, cause I love you too. (He squeezes her shoulder. The door opens and Joey steps outside. He rubs his hands together)

Joey – Jesus it’s cold out here! Get in the car and let’s go!
