               UNDER THE STUDIO LOGO:



KNOCKING at a door and distant dog BARKING.
NOW UNDER BLACK, a CARD --
                                         SATURDAY



The rapping, at first tentative and polite, grows insistent.

Then we hear someone get out of bed.
                                     MILES (O.S.)

                         ...the fuck...
A DOOR is opened, and the black gives way to BLINDING WHITE

LIGHT, the way one experiences the first glimpse of day amid,

say, a hangover.
A WORKER is there.
                                     MILES (O.S.)

                         Yeah?
                                     WORKER

                         Hi, Miles. Can you move your car,

please?
                                     MILES (O.S.)
