He heads down to the eating area as he awaits the normal visitors that come and visit the elderly people every Tuesday night. He is walking slowly with his cane in hand, and sees his granddaughter, who is always on time and ready to spend quality time with grandpa. RAIN SPRINKLES on the windows and LIGHTNING STRIKES as he walks into an open room. ESTEBAN I have a great story for you tonight, Cara! I have been thinking about this one a lot. He sits down slowly in a chair next to his granddaughter. ESTEBAN (CONT’D) (out of breath) But first, tell me, how did your first week living with your roommate go? Are you happy? Because I am happy. CARA Oh, I am glad you’re happy! ESTEBAN Are you happy? CARA I am. ESTEBAN I am happy because not of what I have and my possessions, but because of what is in my heart...and Notre Dame. EXT: Scene fades out as granddaughter and grandfather being to talk deeply together.
