AMY: Ephram!
ROSE: Hello, Ephram.
EPHRAM: Mrs. Abbott, Amy, hey.
ROSE: [to Amy] I'm just gonna pop across and get some cranberries from the stand. Can you get the nuts your father likes for the dressing, OK?
AMY: OK.
[Amy turns to Ephram.]
AMY: Doing the shopping yourself?
EPHRAM: Oh not exactly, I'm...
DELIA: I got all of them!
AMY: Hey, Delia.
DELIA: Hi, Amy. At Mama Joy's, they had apple pie, pumpkin pie and pecan pie.
EPHRAM: I think we only need one.
DELIA: Mom used to have three kinds of pie, remember?
EPHRAM: OK. OK, all right fine. Go get 'em.
[Delia smiles as she runs off to Mama Joy's.]
EPHRAM: It's her favorite holiday.
AMY: I can see that.
EPHRAM: My dad's not too into it.
AMY: It's cool that you would do this for her.
EPHRAM: Well, try saying that after she dies of food poisoning.
AMY: Sometimes, I think Thanksgiving itself can be kind of a natural disaster.
EPHRAM: Well, I'm about to scientifically prove that.
AMY: It could be fun though, under the right circumstances, making a mess and all. Cooking's like mud pies for grown ups.
EPHRAM: Well, I'll try and think of it that way.
AMY: Hey, if this isn't just a brother-sister thing, I could help if you wanted.
EPHRAM: Sure.
[Amy walks away and Ephram grins.]
[Cut to Dr. Brown approaching the cabin. A bear approaches from the other side. Dr. Brown doesn't notice it at first.]
DR. BROWN: [knocking on the door] Hello? Hello? Mr. Maxwell?
[No one answers and the bear roars which frightens Dr. Brown. He tries to say something but can't. The bear stands on two feet.]
DR. BROWN: OK. Are you the kind of bear where I'm supposed to run, or play dead? A simple point will signify your answer.
[The bear roars again which makes Dr. Brown jump and fall backwards. The bear calms down as Daniel Maxwell approaches. He feeds the bear.]
DANIEL: She's harmless. She's been hanging around since she was a baby.
[Daniel approaches Dr. Brown and goes inside.]
DANIEL: Are you coming in?
DR. BROWN: [quickly getting up] Yes. Yes, I am. Thank you.
[Cut to inside.]
DR. BROWN: [admiring the books] You've really got a great collection here. You know, I ordered the ones with the webber binding once through the book of the month club thing but, this is the real deal. Read a lot, do you?
[No response.]
DR. BROWN: You know, for a shack in the woods, this place is really cozy. But I'm wondering if you have a problem with insulation in the winter 'cause I notice that there are light cracks...
DANIEL: Why did you come here?
