(Lights lit the scene to reveal Bellatrix at Jerry's abode)

Bellatrix: (Vigorously knocking on the door)Papaaaa!

Jerry(Reluctantly opens the door)

Bellatrix: Papa, I'm home. Aren't you happy to see me?

Jerry:(His face makes a frown) I thought you were never coming home.

Bellatrix: At least I'm home now.

Jerry: Why now?

Bellatrix: Papa, aren't you happy to see me? I don't get it.

Jerry: It was your mother's funeral.

Bellatrix:(Feels guilty)Yeah I know. Something kept me up.

Jerry: Good excuse.

Bellatrix: Can I at least come in?  I've been standing here for so long.

Jerry: Come in and lemme check what I'm putting on fire.

Bellatrix: (Sniffs in the air)I've missed home plenty (Slumps on the couch only to hear a groan from afar) Papa, are you okay? (A sharp sound is heard) Papa! (Runs to meet her dad in the kitchen lying helpless on the floor) Oh my God! (Calls the family doctor) Over here, right away! My dad is dying.
