LIGHTS UP: A large long table. Many Victorian relatives already eating. Whispering, rustling, A MAN walks in: modern dress. They all stop, food to mouths. Stare at him.)

MAN: Hello?

WOMAN: You’ve come back. You’ve come back to us.

MAN: I don’t know you.

WOMAN: Oh yes. Yes you do.
You’re us.

MAN: I am not.

WOMAN: You’re hungry like us.
You’re perplexed like we are.
You’re us.
Sit down and eat.

(He does. Stares out. The RELATIVES all go back to whispering, staring, looking, pointing at him.)
