[Lights up in a backyard. The building supplies now litter the stage: sawhorses, electric tools, hammers, and an overflowing toolbox. Will and Dad have built a number of large, flat, square shapes out of plywood. The shapes are scattered about in disarray. ]

WILL: But you said you wanted pliers, Dad—

DAD: Long-nosed pliers, Will. I need to hold this little pin, and I can’t get my fingers in the—

WILL: Here they are—but you could use a screwdriver—

DAD: Got it! Okay, so why don’t we put the floor here? We have to put that in place before we build the walls.

[They carry and then set down a flat piece that has short legs on each corner, making a platform. ]

DAD: Perfect. Now for the walls.

WILL: Are you sure we’re doing this right?

DAD: Pretty sure. [Dad drags another heavy, flat piece of plywood, grunting as he moves it. ]Once we attach the walls, all we have to do is the roof. Pshew. Will—help me with this. You have to hold it upright.

[Dad works to secure the wall. ]

DAD: Great! Only three more and a roof left to go. We have to hustle, though. The little ones are coming home in only a few hours. Will, this is a lot of responsibility, being a foster family. You and your brother will have to step up to the plate and help take care of these little guys. Are you sure you and Davis are ready for this?

WILL: Of course. It was our idea, Dad, remember? We’ll help feed them and bathe them and teach them everything. It’ll be fine .

DAD: Okay. Hand me a new drill bit—I broke the last one in this first wall. No, not those, the thinner ones. No, not those.
