MIKEY, MOLLY
A shaft of light enters the dark room as the door opens. MOLLY McDONALD (45), plain-Jane type, stands at the door. She stares into the room a moment then flicks on the light. -- 2 of 13 -- 2
MIKEY
Ahh! Turn it off! On the bed, under a ceiling of glow-in-the-dark stars, is MIKEY McDONALD (10). He rips the headphones off his ears and shields his eyes by pulling the blanket over his head. Molly walks across the room and snaps open the black shade. Outside, the last bit of daylight fades as kids and families in costume head up the street. The room décor screams Outer Space. Numerous drawings of aliens line the walls, some done in crayon, some painted but all with the same green face, big eyes and antennas. Molly pulls down the blanket revealing Mikey. He’s fully dressed in a silver, spaceman-like costume with a very high-tech, hand-held satellite dish in his hand.
MOLLY
Come on mister. The ladies from my crafts therapy group will be here any minute.
MIKEY
But Mom, you don’t understand! I can’t go! There’s activity! What if they try to make contact?
MOLLY
Tell them to leave a message. Unless you wanna stay here and make potholders while you vent about how your husband ran off with his lab assistant.
MIKEY
Fine. Defeated, Mikey pulls his awkward, skinny body out of bed and trudges to the door. From downstairs, the doorbell RINGS. MOLLY DREW! LET’S GO! YOU’RE BROTHER’S WAITING! DREW (O.S.) I SAID I’M NOT BRINGING HIM! MOM! MOM? MOM! Mikey heads back towards his bed, Molly turns him around and guides him out the bedroom door.
