MARY:
Yes! We need to get you some
clothes.
PO:
We can't afford it.
MARY:
You can use Dad's wedding suit.
INT. MARY'S BEDROOM - DAY - MOMENTS LATER
Mary grabs a trunk from the closet and sets it on the bed.
She opens it.
MARY:
(remembering when she was
newly-wed, and happy)
Ohhhh. These are so beautiful!
She pulls out her wedding dress and lays it on the bed.
MARY (CONT’D)
I wish I could have a daughter!
PO:
(laughing)
Wow, thanks Mom.
She gives him a skeptical look.
MARY:
In addition to you, of course.
They laugh.
Mary pulls out Po's Father's Suit. Mary smiles a little bit.
She sighs. She walks over to Po, holding the hanger with the
suit on it. She holds it up to Po's chest.

It fits.
He takes it from her and looks at it.
PO:
It's nice.
MARY:

She looks at a picture of her and her husband which is on the
nightstand.
MARY (CONT’D)
(quietly)
So was he.
INT. PO'S BATHROOM - EVENING - LATER
Po looks in the mirror, trying (not very hard) to fix his

Po comes into the kitchen, where his mom is putting a trashbag
into a cardboard box. She looks up at him and smiles.
MARY:
Oh, you look amazing!
PO:
What's with the box?
MARY:
Oh, it's glass.
(laughing)
I don't want to kill the trash-man!
Po stands still, wanting more. Mary sighs.
MARY (CONT’D)
Your father had a little bit of an
incident last night.

Po purses his lips. Mary walks out the back door with the
cardboard box. Po watches her go and put it out in the
trashcan behind the house. She comes back inside.
Po gestures towards a bandage over her forearm.
PO:
Incident have anything to do with
that bandage?
Mary lowers the arm of her flannel.
MARY:
PO:
How? How can I not worry about
something like this? You're my
mother, for God's sake. We both
know that this has to stop.
Po looks around.
PO (CONT’D)
What about David? He's a freaking
five-year-old. Never done anything
to deserve this.
Mary leans against the counter. She takes a deep breath and
then smiles.
MARY:
Your father will get over this.
It's a phase. You have to trust me,
you didn't know him like I did.
PO:
Yeah, 'cause one of my earliest
memories of him was him coming to
