IKE

Ike bursts out in loud LAUGHTER, joined by Nathan, Rebecca and the children --

REBECCA

NATHAN LEE
Ike, you could make a song outta that! 

IKE
I believe I'll do just what you say, speed ball! 

They keep moving and come to a stop at a crossroad.

REBECCA
Us too, Ike.

IKE
It's a good, warm night comin' up, Nathan - you goin' to the woods?

NATHAN LEE
