Sc5 - Entrance Hall
Scene 2 - Bedroom
"Sometimes he is loud" - knocking things off desk as he walks down tabletop
"Sometimes he doesn't make a sound" - floating down puff ball and lands on skateboard

Scene 3 - Kitchen

Scene 5 - entrance hall - Original Angle - cameral up above
Scene 6 - Outdoors

     - car drives away.

scene 7 - Ending
- "Theres a mouse in my house, he never bothers me" - Gerald walking depressed in straight line with same camera as scene 2. dark but shapes look like desk scene. As he looks in mirror see light shaped as mouse hole. 
- "I saw him in the mirror, he reminds me of me" - As light gets brighter viewer realizes that gerald is in mouse hole. mirror is broken piece of glass. although shapes are similar to ones on desk they are actually mouse versions (ex. box=matchbox)
-  "I know what he does" - close up face. more confident mouse
-  "I live in this house" - picture of house on wall
- "I am the mouse" - close up shot of mouse hole. Gerald is inside looking a mirror.
- "Gerald that's me" - far shot of mouse hole
- Zoom out from mouse hole and out of house window (backwards of opening shot) - "The End"
