stairs. Several of them - clothes etc.

His fury doubles. He delves through them.

MARTY:

God’s sake. Kat. Kat.

He peers into the living room where his two boys are

playing a noisy computer game. Doubles back

He bounces up the stairs, two at a time.

I’m busy.

He hears another voice.

Open the door.

Hammers on it in frustration.

MARTY (CONT'D)

Jessie -open the door.

It - begrudgingly - opens. Marty swings inside to find a

YOUNG LAD there, boyfriend. It’s only a tiny thing, but

Marty clocks he has no shoes on.

MARTY (CONT'D)

What’s going on?

JESSIE:

We’re doing homework

MARTY:

Biology.

They giggle.

MARTY:
