INT. LIVING ROOM - 8:59 AM

QUENTIN is laying on the couch with a blanket over his head, but not his face.

He OPENS his eyes to the sound of children screaming in the kitchen.

CUT

He glances over to his right and stares at pictures of him, children and his ex-wife CAROLINE. On of them is smashed.

CUT

QUENTIN slowly CLOSES his eyes and gives one final PANTING sound.

FLASH

INT. LIVING ROOM - 4 MONTHS BEFORE

QUENTIN stands in the living room but facing into the next hall.

His ex-wife CAROLINE, whose face is not shown, opens the front door to the house. QUENTIN

(ANGRY) Why can't you just accept who I am, Caro? CAROLINE

(SOBBING) Oh my god! Why did I ever marry such an asshole? QUENTIN

(ANGRY) You know what? Just leave, bitch, leave!

CAROLINE slams the door behind her.

FLASH

INT. LIVING ROOM - 9:00 AM

QUENTIN opens his eyes to the sound of an alarm clock.

He then gets up form the couch and proceeds out of the room towards the kitchen.
