EXT. A FAMILY GATHERING INSIDE A LARGE HOME – EARLY EVENING

NICK, driving a Jeep, arrives at a large house and proceeds to exit the vehicle along with his wife, Kara. He and Kara enter the house and greet a group of adults. Noticing the aggressive political aspect of the conversations being held, he and Kara sneak to the basement, which has been decorated in Halloween decor for the younger children. A group of children are playing together, and a few run up to greet Nick and Kara as they walk down the stairs.

Nick

(Reaching the bottom, gives a hug to one small boy, Hunter)

Hey Guys! What’s everyone doing down here?

Hunter

(Excited and fidgeting)

We’re playing Mario Kart, and I’m winning. I’m really good at it, but it’s not as fun as Halo.

Nick

(Grins)

Oh yeah? You were pretty awesome when we played at my house, but Grandpa probably doesn’t have Halo.

Hunter

(looking sad, and lowering his head)

He doesn’t. When can I come over again and play on the big tv?

Nick

I don’t know, we’ll have to talk with your Mom first.

Hunter

Ok! I’ll go ask her right now!

(turns to run upstairs, then pauses)

Wait, what’s your name again?

Both Nick and Kara look surprised and turn to laugh with each other. Nick kneels down on one knee to talk to Hunter more.

Nick

(Sounding surprised, but smiling)

You don’t remember my name?

Kara

(laughing)

That’s Uncle Nick!

Hunter

(Wide-eyed and puts his hands up)

Geeze, I’m sorry! Give me a break, I’m just a human!
