　　ROSE
　　So……
　　
　　CHRIS
　　They’re great.
　　
　　ROSE
　　Yay.
　　
　　CHRIS
　　No， they’re totally sweet.
　　
　　ROSE
　　I told you they’d love you.
　　
　　He sees a picture of Rose in high school on stage in a production of ‘The Crucible.’
　　
　　CHRIS
　　What？! Is this you？
　　
　　ROSE
　　“The Crucible.” I was Abigail.
　　
　　CHRIS
　　I didn’t know you acted.
　　
　　ROSE
　　There’s a lot you don’t know about me.
　　
　　Rose grabs Chris by the belt and pulls him to the bed on top of her. They kiss. She goes for his fly.
　　
　　CHRIS
　　Wait， what about the tour？
　　
　　ROSE
　　“The tour？” Are you serious？
　　
　　CHRIS
　　We just got here. I don’t wanna be disrespectful……
　　
　　ROSE
　　Who gives a fuck？ Be disrespectful.
　　
　　He stops her.
　　
　　CHRIS
　　I’m serious. Later.
　　
　　INT. ARMITAGE DOWNSTAIRS HALLWAY - DAY
　　
　　Dean and Chris walk and look at pictures on the wall. Rose and Missy catch up in the living room.
　　
　　DEAN
　　Frankenstein’s monster. Only pieces of the original structure remain; I like to think the soul is in tact though.
　　
　　DEAN （CONT’D）
　　They keep walking.
　　
　　There are seven bedrooms， ten bathrooms， three indoor dining areas， two study’s， two main
　　kitchens. There’s an observatory wing on the top floor. And you’d be hard pressed to find a room that doesn’t serve as library.
　　
　　Chris zones in on a photograph taken in the 90’s in front of the Armitage house. Dean and Missy are younger， and Rose and her brother Jeremy are kids.
　　
　　DEAN （CONT’D）
　　That’s Jeremy. Rose’s brother.
　　He’s in Med school.
　　
　　CHRIS
　　I’ve heard stories.
　　
　　DEAN
　　He went through a couple dark spots but came out the other side.
　　You’ll meet him later.
　　
　　CHRIS
　　Oh， cool.
　　
　　Dean points out the older couple in the picture， the same from the portrait in the living room; GRANDPA and GRANDMA.
　　
　　DEAN
　　Mother and Father lived here till the end. They died a few years ago now. Passed away within weeks of each other……
　　
　　CHRIS
　　I hear that happens a lot.
　　
　　DEAN
　　“Love” is a powerful thing.
　　
　　They move down the hallway to a black and white framed picture of a 25 year old man posing in the starting position for a race.
　　
　　DEAN （CONT’D）
　　My Dad was a runner. A good runner; great sprinter.
　　
　　DEAN （CONT’D）
　　Oh， In fact， you might find this interesting， he was just beat out by Jessie Owens in the qualifying round for the ‘36 Olympics in Berlin. That’s the one where--
　　
　　CHRIS
　　--Owens won in front of Hitler.
　　
　　DEAN
　　You know your history.
　　
　　CHRIS
　　Not really. That one always just stood out in my mind.
　　
　　DEAN
　　Of course. One of those perfect moments. There’s Hitler on his high horse with his perfect Aryan race， and here comes this black guy to prove him wrong on the world’s stage. What a moment.
　　
　　CHRIS
　　Yeah， tough break for your father though.
　　
　　DEAN
　　He almost got over it.
　　
　　Dean winks.
　　
　　HOUSE - MISSY’S OFFICE - DAY
　　
　　Dean opens the door to the office. He and Chris stand outside the door as Dean reaches in to turn on the lights. In front of the desk two comfortable-looking chairs face each other. Books line the walls， and are stacked everywhere. Dean and Chris don’t enter. A white cat laying next to a teacup wakes up on the desk.
