          BLACK.



Over CREDITS we HEAR:
           MARIA (O.S.)

           ...but you took a huge bet on the

housing crisis in the middle of the

biggest boom anybody'd ever seen. Why?
           ROBERT (O.S.)

           I'm a child of the 50's. My father

welded steel for the Navy. And my

mother worked at the VA.
          INT. ROBERT'S MANSION - DAY



As the conversation continues we see:
1. A MAID clean an expansive living room, waxing a mahogany

table.
2. A BUTLER open sliding doors to an empty grand sitting

room.
3. An overhead shot as a SERVANT carries packages up a long

winding staircase.
                          ROBERT
