pulling up

John opens the front door and even with the covered porch, the wind and rain blows in with Ron. Adjin and Patty are back at the dining room table.

John walks Ron in.

'Patty you remember Ron from school.'

Ron

'Hi...'

Ron to Adjin

'Good to see you recovered from your Mission Impossible...chasing the movie screen down the beach.'

Adjin points at Ron

'Your tax dollars at work.'

Ron

'Speaking of...there's reports of a woman screaming by the pier...'

Adjin

'My banshee. Musta shorted out. Wailing for no reason.'

Patty looks at John and Adjin...and then Ron.

'I can relate.'

Ron looks at the crystal ball and ouji board on the table.

Patty

'We're trying to see the future.'

Ron

'If you believe in that stuff...I'd say you have no future.'

Patty

'Oh...lossen up.'

Ron takes his jacket and wet shirt off.

Adjin

'Dammit. Knew I forgot something.'

John

'What?'

Adjin

'My muscles.'

Patty

'Nah. Women who want a guy they can boss around want you just the way you are.'

Adjin

'Thanks?'

Patty

'You are most welcome.'

Ron looks at Patty and Adjin. And then speaks to John.

'Isn't this where we all left off in 5th Grade.'

John

'Never stops.'

Patty

'You were with us in 5th Grade.'

Ron

'Shot peas at you. So says Old Lady Spiro.'

Patty

'You have to be more specific. All the boys shot peas at me. Don't know why.'

Adjin

'Umm...cause you shot pees at us first.'

Patty

'Did not.'

Adjin

'Did.'

Patty

'I was the perfect little lady.'

Adjin

'You would drink Coke and belch with us. That's why we let you hang with us. Still is.'

Ron

'Are you two going out?   Planning to go out.'

Patty

'Oh hell no.'

Ron

'Then go out with me.'

Patty

'Out into the hurricane? John just had us look at hurricane rain through a telescope. You know what all that rain looked like?'

Ron considers something artistic
-
Patty

'Rain. I feel safer already in your arms quick-thinking, rescue worker.'

Ron to Patty.

'Oh really?'

Ron lifts Patty out of her chair and puts her over his shoulder. Patty is laughing hysterically.

Adjin

'Now you'd think watching Tom Cruise movies would give us muscles like that.'

John

'YOU'D think.'

Lights out in the evacuation center.

Ron

'Great. I evacuated people off the island - where there was power to Tom's River-where there's no power.'

Adjin

'Your tax dollars at work.'
