ACT 1
SCENE 1
AT RISE: HENRY walks into the living room, where an antique MARBLE BUST sits on the coffee table. He's talking on the phone.
HENRY:
I'm sure you just left it here, babe...
(he looks around)
Yeah, it's right here on the coffee table.
HENRY sits on the couch and kicks his feet up onto the coffee table.
He picks up the BUST and looks it over. It is large, bulky, and, from the way he's holding it, seems to be quite heavy.
