Frame on the Wall: The Making of 'The Door in the Floor' Page #3

---

Really? Yeah. He was older

than you, of course. [ Laughs ]

His name was, like,

Chickie or Chuckie or something.

lt was probably a nickname.

You know, it-- it's quite common

to have a nickname there.

lt is.

[ Door Opens, Slams ]

[ Chopping ]

[ Bell Rings ]

Oh, great, you got it.

Just in time.

Yes, sir.

Uh, here, wait.

Just a second.

[ Sniffs ]

Here. l want you to, uh,

put it in here

and then freeze it.

What should l do next?

l'm sketching a model.

Why don't you go to the beach, take a swim?

l-- l could straighten up

the work room or something else.

No, no. Go ahead.

Anything really. l just want

to help. No, that's all right.

Contemplating the waves...

will be a hell of a lot more useful to you

as a young writer than watching me draw.

Okay.

There'll be, uh,

plenty more rigorous work to do...

at some point in the near future.

Don't spill that stuff.

[ Men Speaking Spanish ]

[ Gunshots ]

Hi.

Hi.

Did you just see that movie?

Yes.

Me too.

- ls that your dinner?

- Sort of, yeah.

l... got kind of tired of burgers.

l've had one every night since l got here.

Ted doesn't get you anything?

Not really.

l mean, he would.

lt's just, l don't think Ruth likes to eat with me.

l don't think your parents would like it if

they thought we weren't taking care of you.

They wouldn't mind,

really, l don't think.

Eddie, would you like

to go to dinner one night?

I'll make sure you get

something... decent.

Okay.

Okay?

Yeah.

Good.

Thanks. Good night.

See you.

Bye.

[ Knocking ] [ Ted ] Eddie?

Just one second.!

Uh,

Ruth wanted to be sure that one

of the photographs was still here.

She gets anxious if she can't see them

or if they get moved.

Which one was it, sweetie?

There it is.

Ahh.

He's just a little broken,

but he won't die, right? Right.

Not yet.

No. Ruthie had a dream.

- Where's feet?

- Hmm? What are you talking about?

Where are the feet?

[ Laughs ]

- [ Clears Throat ]

- Sorry, Eddie.

We've gotten in the habit of showing Ruth these

pictures, and if we don't she gets very worked up.

That's okay.

You can see them anytime.

Ahh, see?

See you in the morning, Eddie.

- [ Ruth ] What did he do?

- [ Door Opens, Shuts ]

[ Blows ]

[ Alarm Chirping ]

That's Mrs. Vaughn.

Came over to discuss some sketches.

Had some questions about them.

Uh, guess she's an early riser.

Do you want me to drive
