In The Backdoors Of Renoir's Theater Draft

EXT. THEATER - DAY
HOMER stands outside the front of the old theater building, staring at an "A-frame" style sign in the front that advertises the Renoir film, "Grand Illusion" with a ticket price of $5. The show time lists 12:15 pm. Homer takes out a pen and writes down "12 15" in his notebook. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out his change, counting out about 70 cents. He writes down "70". He sighs and walks around the block.

EXT. THEATER - BACK DOOR -DAY
HOMER walks to the back door of the theater. He feels the edge of the door, realizing that the latch is taped open. He pulls the door open just wide enough for him to slip inside, and so he sneaks in like air.

INT. THEATER - DAY
The theater is dark except for the light coming from the black and white film on the screen. There are about a dozen PATRONS scattered throughout the room.

HOMER has entered from a door to the right of the screen and he quickly makes his way to a seat near the front of the theatre, spying and empty seat with a half-eaten box of popcorn beside it. He sits down, picks up the popcorn and begins to eat while he watches the movie.

INT. THEATER - EVENING
HOMER is nearly alone in the theater now, and he is still watching with rapt attention right up until the word "Fin" appears on the screen and the lights begin to come up. He blinks in the growing light and makes his way to the main exit, getting a suspicious glance from the usher as he makes his way out.
