Home Alone

SCENE OPENS with a man, Mr. Rodgers (Mr. Pete), rushing to the front door of his neighbor's house. He has a toolbox in his hand and there's a sense of urgency as a teenage girl, Kat (Maya Kendrick), opens the door and hurries him inside. She was doing dishes in the dishwasher but something went wrong and now there's water everywhere! Mr. Rodgers quickly gets to work and stops the flow by closing the valve under the sink, though the problem itself is still not entirely fixed. The hose is broken, but he's going to go to the hardware store, anyway, so he'll pick up a hose and replace it for her. He encourages Kat to stoop down and look under the sink with him so that she knows which valve to close in the future if a hose ever breaks again. As she enthusiastically joins him, though, his eyes linger on her tight ass when she's not looking. Once they're done, Kat thanks him so much for rushing over to help. If he wasn't her next door neighbor, she doesn't know what she would've done, with her parents being out right now! Imagine if something like this happened while she was away at college? Mr. Pete comments that it'll be sad when she leaves... Kat giggles and reflects that she's 18 now -- she can't stay home forever! As she walks him to the door to see him out, Mr. Rodgers pauses. While he's here, he may as well check the access panel to make sure that the hoses aren't eroding. Usually if one goes, another is right behind. Kat, thankful that he's so thoughtful, agrees and shows him further into the house. As Mr. Rodgers moves from room to room to find the access panel, Kat starts to get a little suspicious, especially when he looks for it in her bedroom. While he's checking out the closet, she hurriedly tucks some of her personal belongings, including underwear, out of sight. Sure enough, the access panel is in her closet and the hoses do need to be replaced, but he's going to get right on that! But instead of immediately leaving, Mr. Rodgers instead goes to her window, commenting on the million-dollar view she has. Hey, look, did Kat ever realize that she could see his bedroom window from hers? Kat is uneasy as she looks out the window and sees that, yeah, she can, which means that Mr. Rodgers could just as easily see into HER bedroom as well. She's so embarrassed, nervously asking if he's seen anything... 'I may have seen a thing or two,' he says in a darker tone, his helpful neighbor demeanor completely gone now. Like how Kat lets her boyfriend use the back door, so to speak. Kat grows more defensive -- they're adults, they can do whatever they want now. Sure, Mr. Rodgers says, though he's known her father for 22 years and he's asked him to keep an eye on her, so that's what he's doing. She's shocked, asking if he's been spying on her. Mr. Rodgers smirks and says, 'Let's just say, I think you should invest in some blinds.' Kat, barely able to look Mr. Rodgers in the eye, asks him to leave. Mr. Rodgers says he'll leave, of course, but her father will be SO displeased to find out what she and her boyfriend get up to. He even has the footage to prove it. Kat is freaked out and angry that the neighbor she's known all her life is such a pervert. When he starts coming onto her, she realizes that she's cornered and lashes out at him. It's time to make a decision. If he's going to make her have sex with him in return for his silence, then she's going to do whatever she can to claw back control.
