turns toward the door but Miss Penny is standing right in

the middle of the doorway purring.

COLE:

Oh. So that’s what you were

chasing last night, huh Penny

girl?

Cole quickly picks up a backpack and then the cat and goes

out – closing the door behind him.

COLE:

Don’t anybody go in my room

today – I’m working on a project.

Marlowe steps out the front door of the toy house and begins

to explore the room. He goes into every corner and every

dark space looking for a crack or a hole or some other enemy

who might wait for him in the night.

On a kitchen plate on the edge of Cole’s desk Marlowe finds

a piece of pizza and after smelling it and licking it he

sits down on the desk with the pizza in his hands and looks

out the window as he eats.

Marlowe takes the pizza and drags it into the toy house and

finishes it sitting in the rocking chair.

INT. COLE’S BEDROOM – AFTERNOON

The roof is lifted off the house. Marlowe jumps out of the

rocker and rushes upstairs until he meets Cole’s eyes and he

freezes.

COLE:

How can you have clothes? Are

you an alaene?

Cole slowly lowers his hand into the toy house.

COLE:

Now, don’t bite me aleene, I’m

not going to hurt you.

Marlowe looks at the huge hand and doesn’t know what to do.

He looks at Cole and Cole looks back. Marlowe doesn’t feel

any fear so he steps slowly forward toward the hand when he

realizes that he still is holding onto the pizza. He pushes

the piece up above his head and places it in Cole’s hand.

COLE:

Wow. You’re offering me food.

The old pizza which was on my desk.

Wow, this is soo cool. I’m Cole.

Nothing happens so Cole points to himself with his

other hand and repeats,

COLE:

I’m Cole. Guess you don’t speak

inglish. Maybe you’re like a

general or something so I should

salute you.

Cole takes his free hand and salutes Marlowe. Marlowe

watches with fascination and then repeats Cole’s action and

salutes Cole. Cole retracts his hand from the house and

sits down on the floor of his room.

COLE:

This is so – I mean this is –

I have a aleene general in my

room and no one in all the

world knows.

Cole looks down at Marlowe who is waiting to see how it all

turns out.

COLE:

Hi.

Marlowe does not answer.

COLE:

Hi.

Again Marlowe does not answer. Cole reaches over to his

back pack and takes out a pencil and paper and writes ‘hi’

on the paper and shows it to Marlowe.

Marlowe looks at the scribble for a long time. Cole holds

the paper closer to the mouse. Marlowe looks closer at the

shapes on the paper.

Cole folds the paper so it is smaller and he finds a

miniature-golf-course pencil and lays the pencil and the

paper down in the room in the toy house.
