Lights come up on a dining room. There is a big round table with four chairs all around it. There is a full Thanksgiving dinner on the table, including turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, bread, green beans, and cranberry sauce. There is a small kiddie sized table next to it. There are 3 little chairs, and 1 adult sized chair at the kiddie table. MOTHER is in a flurry around the table, she is trying to make everything look perfect. The doorbell rings

MOTHER
[answering the door]
Bill! We weren't expecting you for an hour or so.

BILL
[carrying in 3 boxes]
I know, I know. It's just that I'm in such a hurry to see the faces on my little niece's when they see what their Uncle Billy brought them.

MOTHER
Well, there's no sense in keeping them waiting. [hollers upstairs] Girls!!!

GIRL 1
[hollering back] What mom?!?

Mother
[Hollering upstairs again] Your Uncle Billy brought something for you guys!

rumbling is heard offstage. Three girls, around six, seven, and nine years old, come down the stairs

GIRL 2
Hey Uncle Billy!!

Bill
Hey there Jenny!

GIRL 3
[hugging Bill]
How are you Uncle Billy?

BILL
I'm doing just dandy, Crystal. How is little Kimmy doing?

GIRL 1
I'm doing dandy too Uncle Billy!

BILL
Well, dandy is as good as it gets.
So...I was just walking down the street minding my own business, and I came across these three boxes. Would you girls like to see what's inside them?

GIRL 1
You already know the answer to that one, Uncle Billy.

The three GIRLS tear into the boxes, revealing three distinctly different jewelery cases. The door opens and FATHER and MAN 1 walk into the dining room.

FATHER
[hugging BILL]
Hey there little brother! How are you?

BILL
Well, Kimmy and I are just dandy [winks at girl 1]

FATHER
That's...nice...Oh! Bill, this is Arthur. Arthur and I work together at the firm.

MAN 1
It's nice to meet you Bill.

BILL
It's nice to meet you too.

MOTHER
Well now. The food is ready, if you'd all like to start eating.

BILL
[talking while pulling up a chair to the kiddie table] Man, I hope you have the same mashed potato as last year. I've been dreaming about it for a year.

ARTHUR
Bill?

BILL
Yes Arthur?

ARTHUR
Aren't you going to sit at the table with the adults?

FATHER
Bill never sits with us.[chuckles] He says he likes to sit at the kids table because he likes them better.

ARTHUR
Oh, I see. [Picks up his fork and starts eating]

lights fade on UNCLE BILL eating at the kiddie table. He's joking around and playing with his food, trying to make the girls laugh.
