WHO PUT ME UP TO THIS?

(Moment) Someone exits the building; Adam catches the door. The kids pile in, up the stairs, and
stop outside an apartment door. The interior is revealed. It's a museum-like space with walls covered
with memorabilia ranging from Vaudeville through the 1960‘s. There's a small piano, a makeshift
stage in the center, large window, and a doorway to a back room. We see BENNY ROSEN and
MADALYN SHAPIRO. Benny‘s shirt is open and he's holding up his trousers. The kids overhear them.

BENNY
Because your place is your place, Maddie—not mine!
