Inspiration 7.0

FADE IN

STUFFED ANIMALS set up as in picture. Off-camera, we hear the rear door to a truck being rolled down and locked. We hear doors to the truck open and shut. Several car doors open and shut. The engines to the truck and accompanying car start and rev up. The vehicles drive off into the distance, until we hear nothing. Two beats.

FADE IN

STUFFED ANIMALS set up as in picture. Several seconds pass. An OLD LADY in a nightgown wanders into the picture. She is obviously suffering from Alzheimer's Disease. She sits down on the ground in the midst of the animals and stares at them, uncomprehending, without joy.
