Why does a dog wag its tail?

          INT. HOUSE - LATE AFTERNOON



          WALTER VALE, sixty-two, is standing by the window of his

modestly furnished Colonial house. He is holding a glass of

wine and peering out through the drapes.



          After a few moments an OLD CAR pulls up. A slightly

overweight WOMAN gets out of the car. She starts to walk up

to the house.



          Walter steps back from the window and waits. The doorbell

rings. Walter takes a last sip of wine and sets the glass

down on the end table. And then he goes to the door and opens

it.



                                 WOMAN

                    Mr. Vale?



                                 WALTER

                    Yes.
