          Sometimes within the brain's old

ghostly house,

I hear, far off, at some forgotten

door,

A music and an eerie faint carouse

And stir of echoes down the

creaking floor.

"Chambers of Imagery"

Archibald MacLeish







          In the black, a child HUMS. Gentle WATER sounds.
          FADE IN:



          INT A BATHROOM NIGHT

          JAKE, a four year old boy, sits in a bathtub. The door to thi

bathroom is open and his mother is visible in the background,

walking back and forth in the bedroom, getting dressed to go

out. The STEREO is blaring in the bedroom, the music echoes

off the tile in the tiny bathroom.

Jake is playing with a plastic airplane. He answers a

question.
          JAKE



          YES



          (PAUSE)
