They are disturbed by his appearance.
AMELIA:
You are?
FAITH:
CAM:
That’s the medication they put me
on. Doesn’t hurt. Go on, hit it.
He stands tall and sticks his lithium gut out. They shake
their heads.
CAM:
Come on. Pound on it.
He slaps it again to show how hard it is. Amelia punches him
half-heartedly in the stomach. He tenses his muscles.
CAM (CONT’D)
Harder. Let’s go.
Amelia complies with a flurry of little fists. Cam shuffles
away from her.
CAM:
Okay, okay. Remember. Never do
that when Harry Houdini’s not
ready. That’s how they killed him.
Cam sits down across from Maggie and indicates for the girls
to climb into his lap. They do. He lights a cigarette with
unsteady hands and smiles at Maggie through the smoke.

CAM:
You’re a sight for sore eyes.
MAGGIE:
What happened to the clothes I
brought you?
CAM:
There were too many buttons on
shirts. And...
(searching)
...latches on pants.
MAGGIE:
How are you feeling?
CAM:
(ruefully)
I feel great.
Maggie looks concerned.
MAGGIE:
You seemed better last week. Are
they adjusting your medication?
CAM:
Yeah, they’re trying something new
on me...
(standing up)
I want to sit down.
Cam starts shuffling around the room again.
CAM:
I want to sit down. I want to be
home with my family.
AMELIA:
You will, Daddy!
Cam smiles at them. Then, abruptly, he starts to sing,
stiffly.
CAM:
“When Daddy comes marching home
again, hurrah hurrah...
We’ll give him a hearty welcome
then, hurrah hurrah...
The men will cheer and the boys
will shout, hurrah hurrah...
the ladies they will all turn out,
hurrah hurrah...
And we’ll all...

CAM (cont'd)
(pauses, re-sets)
“When Daddy comes marching home
again, hurrah hurrah...
He holds his arms out. The girls go to him and sing along.
ALL FOUR:
“We’ll give him a hearty welcome
then, hurrah hurrah...
The men will cheer and the boys
will shout, hurrah hurrah,
the ladies they will all turn out,
hurrah hurrah...
EXT. APARTMENT COMPLEX. DAY
Two large brick apartment buildings face each other across a
parking lot. It is an urban environment.
INT. APARTMENT. DAY
Maggie and the girls look around a vacant two-bedroom
apartment. It is clean and bright and sunny. Maggie nods at
the SUPERINTENDENT.
Amelia looks very worried. Maggie goes to the window and
points, trying to be upbeat.
MAGGIE:
Look, girls. There’s a swimming
pool. It’ll be open in the summer.
Amelia looks out. In between the two matching apartment
buildings is a pool enclosed by a chain link fence. Next to
the pool area is a concrete “park” area with metal picnic
tables. Across from the building they are in is the other
building, staring back at them.
