1.)
(Vitus talks on the phone to Demetri, who looks disturbed. Behind him is Fran, looking curious, a pair of boxing gloves hanging around her neck.)
VITUS: ...So Gaston-Louis is out
of the Circle, I guess.
I’m really still in shock. Anyway, can you check on
the kids? I’ve got my
hands full with Angela.
2.)
(Fran raises an eyebrow at Demetri's reaction to the news.)
VITUS: At least, see if Jack is okay.
I’m worried.He could be in trouble
since that Theodore likes him...
3.)
(Fran chews Demy out, pointing a finger. Meanwhile Vitus keeps harping on about Jack. He looks all "UGH" about it.)
FRAN: Boy, you are soooo
dick-whipped.
Why do you
do this to
yourself?
Get all bent
out of shape
about some--
VITUS: Last I saw him he seemed
so scared and unhappy,
I wish there was something
we could do about it but--
4.)
(Theodore puts the lid on a metal oil drum, in front of a fence by the waterfront. A dark figure watches.)
MEANWHILE..
5.)
(Theodore looks sad and lonely.)
THEODORE: (THINKS) Am I really
so unappealing? Still unloveable
as ever...
6.)
THEODORE: (THINKS) I know what
others think of me,
I know all too well.
7.)
(He kicks the metal can with a "WAK".)

(He is surprised to hear someone singing.)
MYSTERY MAN: Kickin’ the can
down by the waterside..
kickin’ the can...
9.)
THEODORE: I say! Traveller...
show yourself.
MYSTERY MAN: Theodore Leighton,
I presume?
10.)
(The dark figure approaches him.)
MYSTERY MAN: What did
that unlucky
chap do?
THEODORE: Oh, him?
He got in
the way of
my efforts.
11.)
(Theodore looks back at the dark haired and bloody figure now showing inside the drum. The bald man smiles in reaction.)
THEODORE: Perhaps
a few centuries
of rest will
straighten
him out.
12.)
(Clyde waves in a friendly way, he wears a "Minchin Lives" hoodie and has some strange marks like burns on his bald head.)
CLYDE: Name’s Clyde Minchin, and I’m
a big fan of you and your efforts. Wanted to
offer my
services.
13.)
(Theodore looks mystified.)
THEODORE: Services?
Very kind of you.
What are your talents?
CLYDE: Heheh,
so polite!
14.)
(They shake hands, smiling.)
CLYDE: Oh, I’ve got a few handy
tricks you might
find useful...
