starts talking to Lionel who is in the next room.
RITA (O.S.)

Nick hears Rita who is laughing upstairs
and then he tells Felicia who is sitting close to him.
NICK
Your kids are
awake!
FELICIA
(Giggles)
You
mean our children? I didn’t get
my
self-Pregnant!
Nick realizes his mistake and then tries
to bring up something to end the argument, whileeating his toasted bread.
NICK
Are you not
calling them downfor
breakfast?
Felicia realizes that her husband’s
planning to stop the argument, so she plays along by calling Rita and Lionel
for breakfast.
FELICIA
(Smiling)
Lionel!!

delicioustoast!
Rita replies to her mother’s call….
RITA
(O.S.)
Ok

Lionel and Rita come downstairs to link
their parents on the table. They race to the table, Rita with her school back
pack, when they reaches at the table they both kiss their mother at her cheeks
and Nick is not fine with it because he also wants to be kissed on his cheeks.
So he’s jealous.
NICK
Is she your
only parent?
FELICIA
I thought they
were my kids only.
NICK
And I thought
you said that you
didn’tget
yourself pregnant!
Rita is amazed with her
father’s behaviours so she kisses him on the left cheek to end the argument.
RITA
(Smiling)
OH here you go!
NICK
(Smiling)
Thanks

should
be with parents! And how
about
you Lionel!
Nick
points at Lionel.
LIONEL
(O.S.)
What about me?
NICK
Won’t you kiss
my black cheek?
LIONEL
I’m not gay
dad!! And I’m allergic
to dirt!
Felicia and
her kids are surprise with Nick’s behaviours. They all stare at him with funny
face expressions to make him feel blown up.
NICK
What? What’s
up with that look?
hello it’s a father son
thing!!
Meaning it’s just me and
Lionel,
no ladies included!!
Lionel, Rita and Felicia
all talks at the same time with shaking their heads.
That’s
inappropriate!!!!
Rita is
rushing to live the dining room and go to school.
RITA
Oh I will be late I’m off to school.
Bye mom!
Rita runsout of the dining room, Nick finds
it unfair because he is not given a farewell by Rita so he shouts at Rita!
NICK
What about me
girl?
Rita replies
her dad while she’s running towards the main door.
RITA (O.S.)
Same with you
dad, bye!
Nick smiles.
NICK
Can I give you
a ride to school?
baby!
RITA (O.S.)
No,
thanks dad, I will just use
the school
bus!
NICK
Ok
then take care!
Nick and
Felicia both smiles while looking at Lionel. Lionel finds it so weird; he doesn’tget
what is going on, he looks puzzled so he shouts at them.
LIONEL
(Loudly)
What?!
I’m starving!
NICK
No,

going to a new
school!
Lionel
is surprised.
LIONEL

FELICIA

Gilbert’s high school
NICK
Yeah!
I heard it’s the best high
school in this
town!
LIONEL
Ok I’m ready.
Lionel gets silent for a momentand
stares at one point. After some seconds Felicia shouts at Lionel to get his
attention.
FELICIA
(Loudly)
Lionel! Lionel!
NICK
Boy, come back
to earth!
FELICIA
Let’s go
before it gets late.
LIONEL
Where?
FELICIA
We have a
meeting with your new
principal.
NICK
Let’s go I
will drive!
Nick starts walking carrying his
unfinished toast outside.
LIONEL
Ok!
Lionel starts walking with his father
going outside the house. Felicia remembers her purse so she first gets it
before they go.
FELICIA
You go on, I forgot my purse
upstairs.I will get you outside.
EXT.AT THEIR
GATE-SAME TIME
Nick and Lionel are outside the gate,
and the first thing they see is a sexy girl with a huge behind and huge boobs
walking in the street in front of them. Nick and his son stare at the sexy girl
who is walking past their home.
NICK
(Stammers)
D-d-damn!! She’s hot!
Nick is holding his son’s shoulder and
talks to him while looking at the girl.
NICK
That’s some real shit son…
They both say out loud according to the
girl’s walking style.
NICK and LIONEL
Heaven!! Earth!! Heaven!! Earth!!
Heaven!! Earth!! Heaven!! Earth!!
While Nick and Lionel are busy
concentrating at the girl, Felicia is right behind them, watching out what they
are doing without any of them noticing that Felicia is behind them. Nick’s
instincts are telling him that someone is behind but he cannot prove it, so he
looks behind, he sees his wife standing behind. Nick is shocked and all of his
thoughts fade away. After all that Nick tries to fade the guilt away again.
NICK
Honey I forgot my car keys inside!
Felicia plays
along with a fake smile on her face.
FELICIA
Yes you are
free to go get them.
Felicia completes her words with a slap
on Nick’s face. Nick runs to the other side of the car, when Lionel sees the
incident, he steps back because he is afraid. The girl stops and watch what is
going on, Felicia see her and goes to her furiously and provokes her.
FELICIA
(Loud)
You
stupid idiot are you married?
The girl steps in front with confidence,
holding her hand on her hip and talking with attitudes.
THE GIRL
(Loud)
I’m too fresh
for marriage. I’m
not old like you!
FELICIA
Girl,how can
you expose your

FELICIA (CONT’D)
Talent of

Attracting married men?!
THE GIRL
It’s none of your business!!
FELICIA
(Loudly)
You split my new neighbour’s
family!
Felicia points at a house were a man is
kneeling down begging for the wife not to go while she has her bags on her
hands.
FELICIA
Now you want
to destroy my family?
Felicia points at her house. The girl replies
with an intention of making Felicia feel jealous.
