Ok, so you need to be home by 5:00 tonight. I'm getting waxed and then have to stop by Target.

TROY
(Looking out bedroom window at a squirrel digging in yard.)

Yeah ok. That's not a problem.

(Raps on window with knuckle. Squirrel just looks up and then resumes digging.)

MARTY
And then on Thursday the NEA is getting together so I need to trade my Friday for Thursday.

TROY
HEY!!! (I yell out window at squirrel. Squirrel again looks up momentarily but then resumes digging around in the lawn.)

MARTY
What are you doing?

TROY
There's a damn squirrel devastating the yard again. Why the hell do they only tear ours up? It's always our yard, never the neighbors.

MARTY
I'm sure it's a conspiracy. Anyway, so can you take Bella on Thursday?

TROY
Excuse me ladies!

(I'm talking out the window to two college students walking by in black graduation gowns. They look up and around uncertain where the voice is coming from.)

MARTY
WHAT are you doing!?!?

TROY
Yes, up here.

(They realize what window my voice is coming from)

COLLEGE GIRLS
Yeah (with uncertainty in their voices)

TROY
Could you do me a huge favor?

MARTY
Oh my God, you are not even doing what I think you're doing.

TROY
... and chase that squirrel out of my lawn.

MARTY
You are the biggest dork in the world.

COLLEGE GIRLS
Uhhmm. Yeah sure.

(They start walking towards it flitting their gowns around and the squirrel finally scurries up a tree.)

TROY
Thanks ladies. And, congratulations on your big day.

COLLEGE GIRLS
No problem and thanks.?.?

(They exchange looks and continue down the sidewalk.)

MARTY
I'm never walking out the front of this house again. Could you possibly be a bigger loser?

TROY
It takes a village Marta. A village.
