EXT. THE MARITZ’S FRONT YARD - DAY Johan mows the lawn on a quiet Saturday afternoon. He empty’s the grass crate into a black bag and hears a CAR pulling into the yard at the last house at the end of the street. Johan drops the black bag and shades his eyes from the bright Sunlight as he curiously looks at a little boy jumping jumping out from the backseat and opening the gate. The car drives into the yard and Louise climbs out of the driver’s door to unload her luggage. The little boy helps her. Johan is fixated on Louise and the little boy. JOHAN(O.S) Hey ek het nounet vir Louise gesien. Ja ou ek dink sy is ook hier vir jou pa begrafnis... INT. JOHAN’S BEDROOM - DAY Johan browser through his room for all his old stuff while talking to Dupie on the phone. CLASSICAL ROCK MUSIC play from the radio on the floor. DUPIE(0.S) (from telephone) Dis nogal nice van haar om te kom. Het jy haar al gaan groet? JOHAN (into telephone) Ek weet nie ou, ons het soos 5 jaar terug gepraat. DUPIE(0.S) (from telephone) Nou ja, groei n paar ballas en gaan drink n coffee of iets. DUPIE(0.S) (from telephone) Sy ken ook niemand in Welkom meer nie, so wat het jy om te verloor. JOHAN (into telephone) In elk geval, Waarmee is jy besig ou? (CONTINUED)

THE DE VOS’S HOUSE/GARAGE - DAY Dupie slides out from underneath the engine of his red beatle on a skateboard. DUPIE (into telephone) Sien jou vannand. cheers. He sits upright, puts the phone down and wipes his sweaty brow with the red Beatle behind him in the lifeless garage. FADE OUT.
