And So It Goes Page #3

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.

And we'd be singing...

Ma'am, there's no smoking in here.

Good, you're too young to smoke.

What kind of act is this?

All she does is cry.

I can't...

I'm going to go over there for now.

Just going to get some air.

Little Shangri-la.

Oh, my God... I'm sorry I thought

I heard somebody.

Are you okay?

No, yeah.

I'm fine.

It's just something that I do.

- You are a good cook.

- Really?

My wife, she was a good cook.

Sarah Elizabeth.

- Sarah Beth.

- Beautiful name.

Eugene.

Not so much in the name you know,

but... He was a really beautiful man.

Not at all in the name.

Do people really let you get away

with being you.

Are you going to eat all this?

- No, no. Would you like some?

- Only if you're...

I'll get you a plate, okay.

And maybe a glass.

You have a very nice voice.

You think so? I don't know.

- Haunting.

- Well, thank you, I guess.

Your patter on the other hand.

I know, I know. I just started this

singing thing, I can't like...

you like...

It won't... You know, I don't know,

it's like out of my mouth.

I think it's a basic rule that

between songs you keep any references

to aneurisms

or dead loved ones down to a minimum.

Yeah, I know.

I gotta work on that.

And when you sing 'Cry me a river',

it doesn't have to be

the whole river.

Right, I do get a little emotional.

So you've said.

- This is really good pasta.

- So you've said...

- You ever just run out of things to say?

- No.

Good pasta.

You!

- What do you think you're doing?

- It's just nine months.

- I told you, I have no room.

- What's going on?

It's my son.

He's on his way to jail.

But who's that?

That's my grand daughter.

She's probably Guatemalan.

- What?

- He had sex with a maid once.

Dad, this is Sarah.

Sarah this is your...

- Oren.

- Nice to meet you.

You're pretty. Do you know that?

Oh my God, look at you.

Look how beautiful you are.

I'm Leah.

- How old are you?

- Ten on my birthday.

Next Friday.

Okay.

- Daddy's got to go now. I'm going to write you everyday.

- No.

- I love you so much.

- Don't leave me! No, no.

It's okay.

Grandpa's going to take care of you.

Oh, now I'm grandpa?

What happened to Oren?

Don't worry. It's going to be okay.

I'm going to make sure

that you're safe.

- Thank you.

- Yeah.

Hey, wait a minute.

What's, what's with the dog?

He's a stray, I found him

by the house. Sarah loves him.

- She named him Paint.

- Here, it's okay.

You want to come inside,

have some ice cream?

Let's go.

Let's go.

What is it with you?

You only sh*t where I live?

Am I going to stay here with you?

Well, I don't really know.

I mean, this is all kind of new.

- Can I have some more ice cream?
