Open in the morning as Mike walks into the living room with Vanessa getting ready for work

Mike: hey did you get the paper

Vanessa: no

(As Mike went to outside to grab the paper he sees keys sticking out as he takes them out and jangles them at Vanessa)

Mike: Vanessa again

Vanessa: how do you know they're mine

Mike: cause your Keychain says geologists rock and don't take me for granite

Mike and Vanessa then go into the kitchen as Kristen is getting milk from the fridge and Jeff and Megan are feeding Jessica at the table

Kristen: morning

Jeff/Megan: (in unison) good morning

Vanessa: hey

Kristen: did hear there was a break in
In the neighborhood last night

Mike: a break in you mean one of the neighbors was rude enough not to leave their keys in the front door

(Mike looks at Vanessa as he said it as Vanessa gave him an annoyed look)

Jeff: it was the bergens house

Mike: the bergens

Megan: mm hmm

Mike: that's not right

Vanessa: oh I know they're such nice people

Mike: no I mean we've got better stuff have you ever looked have you ever looked in their house the tv's from the 70s just look in their window sometime just pretend you're jogging (Mike then pretended to jog while looking at the neighbors window)

Vanessa: you know I think we need some sort of security system

Mike: we have a great security system
At this house I've got a cabinet full of riffles in my den (Then lifted his muscles up) and these two big guns right here

Jeff: plus the gun I keep in our closet
(Meaning himself and Megan room) in our room and locked up in a security box where I'm the only one with the key to

Megan: and my baseball bat I put under our bed

Vanessa: as impressed as I am with your guy's various guns and baseball bat's I still think we need to organize a neighborhood watch

Mike: that's a waste of time it's like your book club it started off as a good idea but it just turned into an hour of women complaining about their husband's

Vanessa: and how do you know that

Mike: cause nobody brings any books

Megan: and the good wine goes missing when you have It here

Vanessa: we may do a little catching up
Oh speaking of book club all right you guys cannot repeat this

Kristen: promise

Megan: lips sealed

(The three women then looked back at Mike and Jeff )

Mike: who am I gonna tell you're the only one in the neighborhood I talk to

Jeff: yeah and I (sighs) don't really care
So I'm gonna take Jess to daycare

(As Jeff took Jessica out of her highchair and grabbed the diaper bag and went up to Megan kisses her good bye and Megan then kisses Jessica as the two left the kitchen through the garage to drive away leaving Mike Vanessa Kristen and Megan)
