9Luke puts it in his mouth.
JOHN (CONT'D)
No, no, no; you feed me.
(to Lara)
Your son is hopeless.
Lara grabs her phone and leans over them to take a photo.
LARA:
Squeeze in tight.
JOHN:
You can't do this every morning. It
is way too corny.
LARA:
Smile. It's just until he's eighteen.

JOHN:
(examining it)

LARA:

JOHN:
(as if stung)
I love brushing my teeth.
(to Luke)

LARA:

When's your last class?
JOHN:

JOHN (O.S.)
Did you notice what I got for my
birthday this year? A grunt.
11 INT. BRENNAN HOUSE - KITCHEN 11
JOHN:
Mom said Happy Birthday and my father
went . Made me tear up.
Lara returns, trying hard not to smile.
LARA:
Ever think that someone has to be
JOHN:
(to Luke)
Remember this for the custody hearing:
how Mommy is always scolding Daddy.
LARA:
