A door slams.
A young man, M., has just entered a bedroom of a $2 million house atop Red Mountain, in Birmingham, Alabama. He stands over the bed where an older man, E., is asleep.
M. (loudly): Sir, hello. Why are you in my house, sir?`
E. (still half asleep): Nahnah… What?
M.: What are you doing here?
E.: You scared me.
M.: What are you doing here, sir? What are you doing here?
E.: Excuse me, what do you mean?
M.: Are you supposed to be here?
E: Yes, I live here. I rent this house.
M.: No sir, I just bought this house off the market. I bought this house and everything in it two months ago.
E.: Uhh… no you didn’t.
M.: Yes sir, I did. I have my whole family here today. I have my whole family here right now. Who are you?
E.: I am Elton Stephens, and I am renting this house.
