10 mins into his movie, there’s s loud knock on the door, the wind is howling and it’s pouring with rain.

He pauses his film and goes downstairs

Down to the right, down to the left
Down to the right, down to the left

Gets to the front door, the banging is more insistent now, opens the door and a couple stand there totally soaked.

Shows them to s spare room and offers them something to eat, no that’s ok they say, we’ll get dry and retire.

No problem he says, oh, by the way, what would you like for breakfast, cornflakes or porridge?

Going back to his room and his movie, up to the left up to the right, he settles down for the night.

Another knock on the door

So pausing his film again he goes

Down to the right, down to the left
Down to the right, down to the left
