Last Days of Ptolemy Grey, The - pilot

29.

Reggie pulls the door closed leaving Ptolemy to stare. REGGIE (O.S.)(CONT'D) Do your colors, Uncle. Ptolemy goes through the ritual of locking the bolts; this time working from the bottom to the top (maybe muttering to himself). REGGIE (O.S.)(CONT'D) Good-bye, Uncle. PTOLEMY I’ll be here. Ptolemy waits for a while expecting he knows not what. Then he turns away and walks past the console and into the back part of his apartment. INT. PTOLEMY'S APARTMENT, LIVING ROOM - SOON AFTER (**NOTE** In this section of the script we find Ptolemy alone and anxious, wandering through the house and missing his nephew. In order to deal with this angst he narrates his journey. In this heightened state partially garbled VOICES come to him at differing volumes, but mostly pretty soft and whispery, like the murmuring background at a restaurant. These voices and their content will come from this episode and later ones. People speaking will be Coydog, Sensia, the Evil White Man who Coydog stole from, etc.) Ptolemy goes to the partially open and yet blocked closet door. He stares at the portal expectantly. After a beat or two... PTOLEMY Coydog? Coydog you there? A beat or two more. No answer. PTOLEMY (CONT'D) I think I lost what you gave me... I’m sorry. Ptolemy turns away from the closet door and shuffles out of the scene.
