(Police man knocking on the door)

DURSLEY”S behind the door(VOICE OVER):
“Who is it?”

COP (Mary)
“Police we have had a report of child neglect to a young boy, could you please open the door?”

(Door opens with Dursley’s surprised look)

MRS. D (mere)
“Who? We only have one boy, our pride and joy. Dudley, and we would never neglect him!”

(Head shot of police)

COP (Mary)
“Child Neglect is very serious and we don’t take those reports lightly. May we have a look around?”

Voice over of MR. DURSLEY
 “of course officer”

(Reporter behind bush)

REPORTER
“The officer is going in to get the inside story.  The camera man is going to have to go “undercover” of an invisibility cloak”
