Scene 3, Part 1
[The camera is set up at the end of a long dark road, with a sizeable house to the left of it. 3 cars are in the tree-lined street as light aproach in the distance. A car pulls up to the house, stops, & parks. There is shuffling inside the car that can't quite be seen because it's dark.]
[Switching camera angles to where the house is on the right-hand side, the car door opens and Simon exits. Since it's rather dark in the street, you see him shadowed as he starts talking and walking. The camera views him from his right side.]
Simon: Wednesdays at work seem to always go by fairly quickly, mostly because I'm always looking ahead to what will be going on after work. Some people feel that time drags by really slowly when they're anticipating some event -- the whole "a watched pot never boils" kinda thing. However, while I've had those slow days on occasion, invariably, my Wednesdays always seem to zip by and it's a wonderful thing. It truly is.
[As Simon finishes this sentence, he enters decent light stops. We find him standing in the middle of the driveway of the sizeable house, with 4 cars filling all available driveway space. The camera angle views him from the left as he then turns left to face the camera, musing aloud.]
Simon: You see, I have this great group of friends that I meet with every week at this time. What do we do, you might ask. We eat. We talk. We listen. We laugh. We play cards. We listen to music. We watch TV. We hang out. We don't do anything specific. We just spend time together -- no agenda, no plans, no real organization of any kind. We're just there and it's such a great experience, living life together like this.
[The camera angle switches to follow Simon from behind as he begins to walk on a sidewalk. The sidewalk makes a right turn and the camera follows. He stops at the large, double wooden doors to the house and turns to face the camera.]
Simon: What makes these people so great? It's nothing too particular, really. Some people I don't talk to regularly & some people I talk to constantly. There are some people I see only this one time a week & some people I see at many other times in the week. And then there are the people I have no clue what they're doing here and some people that I wish I would have known all of my life because of the impact they've had on my life. This house is full of all kinds of people, and I don't know what I'd do without them.
[Simon opens the left hand door and, as the camera begins to follow him, you hear a slight door chime as the door closes behind him.]
