INT. CHILDREN'S BEDROOM
A small room, crowded and cluttered up with the accoutrements
of adolescence. Joan, an eleven-year-old is asleep in one of
the twin beds. Jim automatically pulls the covers clear off
Joan's bed. She awakens, c*cks an eye at him.
JOAN:
Okay, dad.
JIM:
Mm.
As she sleepily stretches and prepares to rise, Jim exits
into the hall.
INT. THE HALL
CAMERA FOLLOWS Jim through the foyer into the living room,
on through the very small combination dining and breakfast
nook and into the compact but tiny kitchen. Gussie, the
colored cook, greets him heartily.
GUSSIE:
'Morning, Mr. Blandings!
JIM:
a smile)
Mm.
Gussie takes a glass of hot water, squeezes in a little lemon,
stirs and hands it to Jim who gulps it down, makes a slight
face and pats his stomach. Gussie hands Jim a cup of black
coffee and he starts back toward the bedroom.
INT. THE HALL
Gingerly balancing the cup and saucer, Jim approaches the
door to the children's room. With split-second timing, he
pauses as the door flies open and Joan, in her bathrobe,
towel in hand, rushes out and past him down the hall. She
disappears into the bathroom. Jim carefully proceeds down
the hall and, as he reaches the bathroom, deftly steps to
the left as the door bursts open and Betsy flies by on the
way back to her bedroom. All this is done with a timing and
shifting of hips of which Knute Rockne might have been proud.
Jim continues down the hall, enters the bedroom.
INT. THE BLANDINGS' BEDROOM
Muriel is still asleep as Jim enters, walks over, nudges
her.
JIM:
Muriel.
MURIEL:
Mm?
JIM:
Coffee.
Muriel awakens, sniffs the fresh coffee, smiles, sits up,
takes the cup.
