And So It Goes Page #2

Synopsis: Oren Little has turned his back on all his neighbors and shunned the notion of being kind to others after the death of his wife. Next door neighbor Leah has put her soul, and her tears, into her stagnant singing career after the death of her husband. But then Oren's son shows up needing Oren to take care of his daughter Sarah. Oren has no patience for children, Leah never had any of her own, but 9-year-old Sarah just might be the spark that allows these two lonely souls to turn their home into a Little Shangri-La.

The only way you're going to get

anywhere near a river is if you...

lower the asking price.

You'll get 5.8,

not a penny more.

And you'll get hit by a bus if the

driver does what he's paid to do.

That's a Viking 48H duel fuel range.

With a convection oven.

A Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer.

Both energy star and Kosher certified

- if you're Sammy Davis Junior.

- Who?

Look at this, two of them here

and neither one of them knows

who Sammy Davis Junior is.

Who is he?

Oh, Jesus Christ.

We have a Thermador

dishwasher here...

and Clive Christian cabinetry

all the way around.

If you'll wait outside

I'll join you after the showing.

- You're selling our house?

- One client at a time.

- I thought Common owned this house.

- Who's Common?

- Dad?

- One client at a time, Luke!

- We've seen enough.

- The children's bedrooms and game room are upstairs.

I like the new kitchen.

So is my bedroom the same...

or did you put a picture of a kid

who's not an addict in that room?

What are you doing here?

I don't know, I thought

I should check in...

in every death or ten years,

whichever comes first.

You still got the scar

from rolling down the hill.

Yeah, you shouldn't buried mom

on a mountaintop.

It was a hill.

And the only reason you rolled down

it is cause you were so high,

you passed out and hit your head

on a gravestone.

- Well I'm sober now.

- Well good for you.

And I'm going to prison.

Perfect.

- I shouldn't ask you this...

- That's a bad start to a sentence.

I need you to take care

of my daughter while I'm gone.

You've got a daughter?

Heroin's an ugly drug that gave me

a beautiful girl.

Her name is Sarah.

- That was your mother's name!

- She'll be ten next month.

- She's got no where else to go, Dad.

- Where's the mother?

The mother's family?

I'm going to have to say no.

- They're going to send her to foster care.

- I'm living in a four-plex.

I've got all my things there.

I can barely turn around.

- It's only 9 months. 6 months with good behavior.

- I can't.

Look, if I had anybody else I could

turn to, I wouldn't be here.

I already tried to raise a kid.

It didn't work out.

You, a grandfather.

Christ and ice and Mary

in a penalty box!

I'd escape to that cabin

of yours right now.

Thank you!

This next song...

Oh, my gosh.

Anyway, oh, dear, what is this?

Congratulations to Dan and Samantha.

Is that what you're telling me.

Dan, Samantha where are you?

There you are.

I'm so happy for you,

it's your 30th wedding anniversary.

- Thank you.

- 30 years.

You know I was married for 30 years.

And I know if my husband hadn't died

of an undetected aneurism...

he'd be with me here tonight.
