(Lowell House)

FORREST: Didn't we just get the furnace fixed? It's freezing!

GRAHAM: I'll call in the AM, get somebody to come-

(They hear a noise, turn. Walk over to Riley's door and listen. Rhythmic moaning from behind the door.)

FORREST: Oh, you gotta be kidding me. When do these two come up for air?

GRAHAM: Slaves to the rhythm.

(They walk off. Briefly cut inside, then back downstairs. Mason is feeding the fireplace with wood)

FORREST: Room shoulda warmed up by now.

MASON: I been building this thing for an hour. It's still an icebox in here.

GRAHAM: Don't bother, Mason, we got a couple of heat generators pumpin' away upstairs.

(Mason looks up and grins. Forrest and Graham grin too, rubbing their arms to keep warm. Cut back and forth between the building fire and the passion going on upstairs. Suddenly flames explode out of the fireplace. Mason gets hit by them)

GRAHAM: Jeez!

(Mason screams. His sleeves and the front of his shirt are on fire. Forrest looks around, grabs a banner and uses it to extinguish the flames on Mason. Graham moves forward.)

FORREST: Call a medic. Get help!

(Graham runs off. Shot of the fireplace. The flames look very contained now.)
