          INT. TODD'S HOUSE - DINING ROOM

          TODD and CRAIG set the table. Todd is wearing his baby bjorn
          with his egg in it.

                              TODD
                    Thanks for the centerpiece Craig.
                    My mother-in-law goes crazy for
                    cornucopias.

                              CRAIG
                    My pleasure. Sorry I can't stay
                    long. I got too many Thanksgiving
                    invitations. I feel like Mr.
                    Popular.

                              TODD
                    Hey can you watch Duncan for a
                    minute? I need to go carve the
                    bird.

                              CRAIG
                    Wait, I'm not good with-

          Todd hands Craig the egg. Craig holds it with his arms
          straight out, extremely uncomfortable.

                              CRAIG
                         (baby talk)
                    Uhh... Hi Duncan. Peek-a-boo?
                         (Drops baby talk)
                    Oof. My arms are getting tired.

          Craig puts Duncan down and sighs. Reveal Duncan has already
          disappeared.

                              CRAIG
                    Oh no!

          Todd enters.

                              CRAIG
                    Todd, I'm so sorry. Duncan's been
                    kidnapped!

          Todd picks up the egg.

                              TODD
                    Here he is. You can't take your
                    eyes off them for a second once
                    they learn to roll.

          Craig looks confused.

          INT. RICHARD'S HOUSE - DINING ROOM

          Craig sits at a table with RICHARD, EMILIA and CARL. Carl
          wears headphones. Richard is devouring his food.

                              RICHARD
                    Done! Can Craig-o and I watch
                    football now?

                              EMILIA
                    Now Richard, wait for everyone to
                    finish eating.

                              RICHARD
                    Ohhhhh! But we wanna watch football
                    noooowwwwww. Craig-o are you almost
                    done?

                              CRAIG
                    I'm trying, but if I eat too fast
                    I'll get gas.

                              EMILIA
                    Richard, come back here!

          REVEAL Richard is sitting at the table, but his head is out
          of the room watching football. We hear football sounds.

                              RICHARD (O.S.)
                    I am here.

                              EMILIA
                    Richard.

                              RICHARD
                    Fiiine. Craig-o, let's double team
                    this dish.

          Richard eats all Craig's food instantly.

                              CRAIG
                    Richard you ate my fork.

                              RICHARD
                    Aw, I'm sorry Craig. Were you gonna
                    eat it? We have more cutlery.

          EXT. TERRY'S PORCH

          Craig goes to ring the door bell. He stops and thinks.

                                                     DISSOLVE TO:

          EXT. TERRY'S PORCH - CRAIG'S IMAGINATION

          Terry, wearing a sweater, opens the door for Craig.

                              CRAIG
                    Happy Thanksgiving, Terry. I
                    brought yams.

          Craig holds up a Tupperware.

                              TERRY
                    Oh! Thanks, Craig! That'll go great
                    with dinner.

          Terry swallows Craig then eats a yam.

                                                     DISSOLVE TO:

          EXT. TERRY'S PORCH - REAL LIFE

          Craig stops himself. He puts the yams in Terry's mail box
          and leaves.

          INT. SHEILA'S HOUSE - DINING ROOM

          SHEILA, GRETCHEN and Craig sit at the dinner table. It's
          covered with amazing looking food. Craig is chowing down.

                              CRAIG
                    Sheila, this dessert is amazing!

                              SHEILA
                    I hope you saved room for cobbler.

                              CRAIG
                    You know, I was worried about
                    spending Thanksgiving without my
                    family, but after today I've
                    realized, my friends are my family.

                              SHEILA
                    Aw, aren't you a peach. Happy
                    Thanksgiving Craig.

                              CRAIG
                    Happy Thanksgiving Sheila.

          Sheila leaves the room.

                              GRETCHEN
                    My mom says you're gonna marry her.

          Craig slowly lowers his fork then tips over.
