2 INT. LIVING ROOM - NEXT DAY
In the Middle of Nowhere, COURAGE THE COWARDLY DOG and his owner MURIEL are in the living room, watching TV.
TV WEATHERMAN
In local weather, citizens of the Middle of Nowhere can expect one bad rainstorm...
(Pauses.)
Any minute now.
(Pauses again.)
You've been warned.
(TV shorts out.)
MURIEL
(Worried.)
Oh, my. Do you hear that, Courage? Sounds bad.
COURAGE, lying in MURIEL's lap, doesn't reply.
MURIEL (CONT'D)
I better go tell Eustace.
(Gets up, knocking COURAGE to the floor.)
COURAGE
(Rubbing his head.)
Ow! I wonder what she did that for...
MURIEL
(Calling out the screen door.)
Eustace! Eustace, dear!
EUSTACE
(Working on his truck.)
What do you want?
MURIEL
Eustace, the television says there's a bad storm coming! You better come inside now!
EUSTACE
Storm? There's no storm coming! I've lived here all my life and I've always been able to tell when a storm's coming, and let me tell you, there is no storm coming!
Lightning flashes as the rain violently pours down on him.
