Middle of the Night

The scene: an apartment in central Ottawa, middle of the night. JORDAN is wakened by a tapping sound, followed by the sound of a lock being moved.

JORDAN: [whispering] Brian, wake up.
BRIAN: mmffttt???
JORDAN: Brian, I think there's someone trying to get into the house.
BRIAN: 'Kay. [BRIAN goes silent and still.]
JORDAN: Why don't we have any weapons in the bedroom?
BRIAN: Huh?
JORDAN: There's no weapons in the bedroom for just such an occasion. We need weapons in the bedroom, Brian.
BRIAN: Yep. 'Kay. [Stares blankly at Jordan from prostrate position, waves leg around.]
JORDAN: Be careful when you go out there.
BRIAN: What?
JORDAN: Be careful when you go out there!
BRIAN: Never give up, never surrender. [Stays perfectly still.]
JORDAN: [more loudly now] Brian!
BRIAN: [startled] Wassat? Huh?
[JORDAN stares at BRIAN for a long moment.] JORDAN: You're not even awake, are you!
BRIAN: [grinning] Nope!
JORDAN: Get out there and check for bad guys!
BRIAN: heeheehee...okay. [BRIAN teeters off.]

(There weren't any bad guys.)

Hope your weekends are starting off well.
