Graham stokes the coals with a LONG BARBECUE FORK.

GRAHAM:

(into phone)

Was he at home last night with you

or was he out and about with the

Wolfington brothers?

Graham moves around from behind the barbecue and heads towards

the house.

GRAHAM:

(into phone)

Well, there was a little mischief

done to our crops last night.

Beat.

GRAHAM:

(into phone)

I know he's a fine boy... No one's

saying otherwise.

Graham steps through the back screen door into his KITCHEN.

Graham holds the phone a little closer and talks in a HUSHED

VOICE.

GRAHAM:

(into phone)

Listen Lee, I don't even mind if it

was him. You could just talk to him

and that would be enough for me...

See it was kind of strange finding

the crops like that. The kids were...

confused by it. It would take the

strangeness away if we knew it was

Lionel and the Wolfington brothers

just messing around...

(beat, listens)

The movies...

(beat)

Are you sure?

(beat)

Okay, then... Thank you for your

patience Lee.

Graham turns off the phone. He turns to put it on the counter

and realizes his children are seated on the kitchen floor

with one of their two German Shepherds. There is a LARGE

PUDDLE on the kitchen tiles.

MORGAN:

Houdini peed. I think he's sick.

Graham looks at the majestic dog. It's shivering.

GRAHAM:

Take him outside. I'll call Dr.

Reynolds.
