10K CLOSEUP - BOOMER                                                                               
BOOMER (V.O.) A less than believable excuse.
MRS. JOHNSON Billy just might believe it.
Mrs. Johnson starts for the door, followed by Robbie --there's a ramp instead of stairs which Robbie nego­tiates easily. Boomer is still on his lap.
MRS. JOHNSON (continuing) I'm sorry, Robbie, but you know how your father feels about pets in the house.
ROBBIE (bitterly, to mother) He lets me in the house.
Mother reacts by turning back and dabbing tears away.
ROBBIE (continuing; to Boomer) Sorry, Boomer.
Robbie helps Boomer jump off -- Mrs. Johnson and Robbie enter the house. We STAY with Boomer as he watches Robbie go inside --he looks at the basketball lying under the rim and then back toward the door.
Boomer exits through the loose plank and runs to the side of the house. Through a window he sees Robbie enter his room and slam the door shut. The window sill is a bit too high for even Boomer to manage.
10L CLOSEUP - BOOMER
10L *
BOOMER (V.O.) This calls for a little ingenuity.
Boomer looks around and spots a four foot ladder which he pushes over to the window, and uses to help him jump into Robbie's room.
