I'll See You in My Dreams Page #3

27 INT. CAROL’S HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - DAY 27

Carol waits on pins and needles while Lloyd searches for the

rat.

CAROL:

Do you see anything?

LLOYD:

I... do not.

CAROL:

Keep looking. Check behind the

curtains.

LLOYD:

Sorry, I didn’t see it. Maybe it’s

gone.

8.

CAROL:

Oh god. He’s probably going to

reappear the second you leave.

LLOYD:

Maybe you should call, like, an

exterminator?

Carol gives him a look and cautiously enters the house.

CAROL:

I can’t imagine where it came from.

I haven’t even seen a mouse in

years. I think my dog must’ve kept

them away. But a rat... it was

black. Like a bad omen.

LLOYD:

So where’s the dog?

CAROL:

(blankly)

I had to put him down today.

LLOYD:

Oh. Jeez, I’m sorry.

Carol doesn’t respond.

LLOYD (CONT’D)

I should probably, uh, get back to

work.

CAROL:

Yes, I’m sorry. Thank you...

(waiting for his name)

LLOYD:

Lloyd.

CAROL:

Lloyd. I’m Carol.

Lloyd nods and half smiles.

LLOYD:

Uh... I’ll be right outside if the

rat comes back.

Carol nods and Lloyd heads out.

Carol is reading at her dining room table with a new glass of

wine. Lloyd knocks on the door.

LLOYD:

All set!

Carol smiles and waves. As Lloyd walks away she just sits

there, alone in the house.

Carol walks along the sidewalk. Mike approaches with his dog.

MIKE:

You’re gonna tell me some bad news,

aren’t you. When I didn’t see you

guys yesterday...

Carol, petting his dog, nods.

CAROL:

Yep.

MIKE:

I’m sorry, Carol. It’s hard. You

should be thankful that you were

able to do that for him.

Carol says nothing. She isn’t choking up but she doesn’t want

to talk about it.

MIKE (CONT’D)

Carol, if you ever need anything...

CAROL:

Thanks Mike.
