M1U2 Home alone Act One
Mom and Dad arrive back from vacation a day earlier than expected. The curtains are closed
and the living room is dark when Mom and Dad enter.
Dad: It’s so nice to be home!
Mom: Yes, I can’t wait to surprise the boys!
Suddenly the door opens and a soccer ball flies through the room. Eric runs in after it,
followed by a big dog, walking very slowly.
Eric: Mom! Dad! You’re back early! (looking around room, sounding frightened) But, but … you weren’t supposed to come home until
tomorrow!
The dog slowly walks to Mom and Dad.
Mom: (bending to touch dog) Eric, he’s so tired and hungry! (looking at table) The money
for dog food is gone, but Spot looks like he is starving! What did you do with the cash we left?
Dad: And look at this room—garbage all over the place! Where is your brother?
(shouting angrily) Daniel!
Daniel: (running into room) Mom, Dad, I can explain …
Dad opens the curtains and light comes into the room. The room is in a mess, with pizza
boxes on the floor and dirty dishes in the sink. In the corner, there is a garbage can around which are pieces of garbage and waste paper.
Mom and Dad both turn towards Daniel.
Dad: (sounding very angry) Listen to me, young man—we left you in charge! We thought
you could act like an adult, but look at the mess! I don’t know why the house is so dirty ...
Mom: Daniel, we thought you were an adult, a person who would make good decisions ...
Dad: How can we trust you any more? We won’t tolerate such behavior in our house!
Daniel: (shouting) Stop shouting at me. I’m still a teenager! Why is
everything always my fault?
Daniel runs into his bedroom and shuts the door angrily. Mom and Dad look at each other as
lights go out.
End of Act One
Act Two, Scene One
Daniel and Eric’s bedroom. Eric sits on his bed. Daniel has his arms crossed and looks upset.
Daniel: They never even gave me a chance to defend myself. I hate them!
Eric: You don’t hate them. I can tell them we had an emergency. Then
they won’t be mad any more.
Daniel: No, don’t tell them anything. Anyhow, they didn’t trust me. They
don’t deserve an explanation. Let them think what they want.
Eric: But Daniel, if they knew that Spot was sick and we used the
money to take him to the clinic ...
Daniel: And that we spent all of yesterday waiting there for him, and that is
why we had no time to clean the house ... but no, Eric, why didn’t they ask me what happened instead of shouting at me?
