Little Red Wagon Page #3

Tell your husband

get a checkup.

Well, it's just me

and my two kids.

Uh, lost my husband.

Motorcycle accident.

Cancer. Six months ago.

I'm... I'm sorry.

So you manage with no,

uh, father in the house?

Um, yeah.

I mean, we get by.

I'm in real estate and I

manage some property, so...

We do okay.

(CHUCKLES)

Well, get a checkup.

My late husband, he, uh...

Well, you never know you're gonna

get sick until it's too late.

Right?

Um, this is very generous.

I appreciate it.

Oh, it's my pleasure.

Well, we better get

going, Zach. Okay? Okay.

Again, thank you so much.

Okay.

Good luck.

Good luck to you.

Well, you can't

be doing that.

You gotta

wait in the car.

Huh?

Where's Mr. Parrish?

Never heard of him.

You gotta

sit in the car.

No minors allowed

around the loading dock.

Mom.

Excuse me,

what's going on here?

No kids around the loading

dock. It's the rules.

But Zach's helped

unload before.

I don't care about that.

Lady.

He's brought in 27

freaking loads here.

Helped unload 26 of them

his own self.

I don't make

the rules, lady.

I just enforce them.

That is just

the most ridicu...

But it's the rules.

It's the rules, so...

Go wait in the van, Zach.

Kelley, you and I will

unload the rest of this.

KELLEY:
That uptight,

anal-retentive bureaucrat.

You give little people a

little power and you just...

Okay. All right, all right.

Zach, you okay?

Come on. Are you gonna let

Princess Red Tape ruin your day?

You've been doing

a good thing.

Is it 'cause you didn't get a high-five

and a great big attaboy from Mr. Parrish?

'Cause you didn't get

to be on TV again?

Is that why you've

been doing this?

(SIGHS)

You know what? We're

gonna go on a road trip.

Wait. What?

Where? Right now? All

right, just calm down.

You'll see.

No! I can't go anywhere,

I gotta go home.

Why?

I have a date.

Oh.

A date? With who?

That Murch kid again?

What? Uh...

Somebody else. I already told you. Oh.

But he's picking me up

in, like, an hour

and I have to go home

and get ready. Okay, okay.

Then it'll just be Zach and me. Yes.

Road trip, Zach?

Yeah?

Okay.

(PEOPLE TALKING

INDISTINCTLY)

WOMAN:
Come over here

for a second, please.

LAURIE:
I thought you should see where

all that stuff you collected was going.

Some of these folks

have been here for weeks.

Can you believe that?

But they are being fed,

clothed, taken care of.

But people like you, if you

hadn't done what you did,

it would have been

a whole lot worse for them.

ZACH:
It's so...

So...

I know.

Breaks your heart.

From one day you're just

living your life and then...

(SNAPS FINGERS)

Bam! Something happens.

And the next thing
