: What?

HAYNES

: Never mind.

EMMA

: Would you like a cup of coffee, Craig?

HAYNES

: Please—yes.

(She pours him a cup)

EMMA

: So, how cold was it back there in Colorado, Craig?

(FRANK stands suddenly from the couch, throwing down his coffee cup. Violent.)

FRANK

: GRAIG! His name is Graig! Didn’t you hear him? Graig with a G, not Craig with a C! GRAIG!!

EMMA

: (

flatly

) Oh, my God.

(EMMA slams down coffeepot and exits out through kitchen archway, stage left. Pause. FRANK picks up his cup off the floor and takes it to the sink. Pause.)

HAYNES

: I didn’t mean to upset her.

FRANK

: You didn’t.

HAYNES

: She seemed upset.

FRANK

: She was, but you weren’t the cause of it.

HAYNES

: Oh—

FRANK

: Some man came by, evidently—some stranger. I guess that’s it. Got her shook up.

HAYNES

: A stranger?

FRANK

: That’s what she said. She gets nervous. We hardly ever see anyone out here.

HAYNES

: Well—what did he want?

FRANK

: Who?

HAYNES

: The stranger.

FRANK

: You got me. I didn’t see him. I was down feeding my heifers.

HAYNES

: She didn’t say?

FRANK

: Not really. Just asked her a bunch of strange questions about the house.

HAYNES

: What kind of questions?

FRANK

: Nothing, really. I mean—how many rooms there were. Stuff like that.
