INT. NEWT’S STAIRCASE—A MINUTE LATER—NIGHT


               NEWT climbs the stairs to his living quarters, wand drawn, curious and
               expecting the worst. He pushes open the door.












               SCENE 35
               INT. NEWT’S SITTING ROOM—NIGHT

               A spartan bachelor residence. NEWT’S real life is in the basement.


               JACOB KOWALSKI and QUEENIE GOLDSTEIN stand in the middle of the
               room, suitcases beside them, QUEENIE nervous and excited, JACOB unfocused
               and over-merry, possibly drunk. He is holding the remaining pieces of NEWT’S
               vase, which he has just broken.

               QUEENIE

                       If you could just give it to me . . . Just give it to me, sweetie. Just
                       give it to me.
                    (whispering)
                       If you could just give this to me, sweetheart. Oh!
               JACOB

                    (looking at NEWT)
                       He doesn’t care. Hold it.
               NEWT

                       St—
               JACOB

                    (bellows)
                       HEY! NEWT! Get over here, you maniac.


               He flings his arms around a delighted but awkward NEWT.
               QUEENIE

                       We hope you don’t mind, Newt? We let ourselves in—it’s raining
                       out there—cats and dogs! London’s cold!
               NEWT
