Smack, smack, smack...
MOM:
Samantha, I have to go back to college
so I can make us a better living.
Smack.
MOM (O.S.) (CONT'D)
With this job I can't take care of
us the way I'd like to. I can't
keep going this way. And Grandma
said she'd help us out... and it
would be nice to be near her.
SAMANTHA:
Fine, Mother. You can do whatever
you want but
(shrugs)
We're not moving.
(Smacks)
Mason moves his fork around in his bowl.

MASON:
What about our friends?
MOM:
Oh, baby, we can e-mail them or write.
We can come back to visit. And guess
what?
She reaches out to touch Samantha's arm.
MOM (CONT'D)
This place that Grandma found us,
you'll each have your own room.
Right?
Samantha shrugs.
MOM (CONT'D)
And there's a pool.
Samantha shrugs again, clearly not sold on the idea.
INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT
Mason and Mom are lying on his bed together.
MASON:
Mom, do you still love Dad?
MOM:
I still love your father... but that
doesn't mean it was healthy for us
to stay together.
MASON:
What if after we move he's trying to
find us and he can't?
MOM:
Oh, that won't be a problem. He can
call Grandma and she'll tell him or
he can call Information. We won't
be hard to find.
She pushes back his hair lovingly.
MASON:
Is he still in Alaska?
MOM:
Well, that's what your uncle says.
MASON:
Probably taming polar bears or
something.
11.
MOM:
Yeah... well, I hope they're taming
him.
EXT. HOUSE - DAY
The moving van drives off as mom puts another item in the
pile of stuff to be left at the curb.
INT. HOUSE - DAY
Mom and Mason are getting ready to paint in the empty bedroom.
They're looking at the two lone murals, which look a little
odd without the bunk bed in front of them.
MOM:
Here, wanna help me out?
MASON:
Sure.
MOM:
Okay. Take this paint... very
carefully... and paint any little
smudge or mark or anything on the
baseboard there, behind the door,
and all around the doorways on the
inside.
Meanwhile, Samantha is talking on the phone.
SAMANTHA:
(on phone)
She says we're gonna come visit and
I'm gonna write and call you. Oh,
wait, hold on a second. I'm getting
another call.
(Pushes Flash)
Hello? Sorry, Tommy, Mason can't
come over today. We're moving. And
I'm on the other line. Bye.
(Pushes Button)
Althea? I'm gonna be sending Sailor
Scout instructions. Email, and write
back telling me how the other scouts
are doing. Well, because you're the
leader now.
During the last bit of this conversation, Mason slowly paints
