Straight A's Page #2

Synopsis: Years ago, Scott left common lover Katherine at the altar to become a hedonistic junkie. She married his brother William, a successful Louisiana workaholic, who sired a daughter but probably not bright nerd son Charles and is serially adulterous on his many business trips. Now Scott returns on horseback, having lost his drivers permit, inviting himself and proving a popular, yet unreliable uncle for Charles. Making up with father is impossible due to Alzheimer. As Scott keeps surprising his family, his sad secret emerges.

Today's Sunday?

Today's Tuesday.

So, I lost a couple

of days somewhere.

I take it there isn't a job you

have to be at during the week?

What's your job ?

All right.

I really want

to see my brother,

so I'm thinking maybe I'll just

hang here until he gets back.

It is great

to see you, Cathy.

You still look

pretty hot-

[buzzing]

(man) Now, you were killing

it out there today.

Big dog,

teach in a clinic.

You all right?

Yeah.

We've just got to convince the

broker to give us a few more days

on the option.

It should happen.

Yeah. that's not what

I'm talking about.

Hey, what's up?

I, uh,

when I get back to Dallas,

I'm going to leave my wife.

Hi, what's happening?

Hey, Charles, that

Xbox work out there?

I already beat

all the games.

Oh, yeah ?

What are you

working on?

An oral report

for class.

I'll tell you what.

You hit them books,

and after dinner

you and I'll get our game on.

Deal?

Oh, man.

How come you

call her that?

How come I called

who what?

Mommy "sister."

I don't know. I guess I made it

up after she married your daddy.

Technically Katherine 's

not your sister.

She's your sister-in-law. Hm.

How come she doesn't like you?

You don't think

she likes me?

She's pretty mean

to you.

Yeah, that's just

'cause we go way back.

I bet you guys didn't know that your mommy

and I were high school sweethearts.

[giggles]

Did you

and mommy kiss?

Of course we kissed. Lovers,

we did everything. I--

Is that why

you went to the rehab?

Probably.

[knocking]

Yeah?

Dinner's almost ready.

All right, homie.

You can sit by me.

Awesome.

We'll give him

five more minutes.

Kids, I don't want you to get

too attached to your uncle.

He's got a lot

of problems.

Maybe we can help him.

I think he's funny.

Where does he live?

I don't know.

Is he married?

I doubt it.

Does he have any kids?

Oh, God, I hope not.

Where does he work

? I'm sure he doesn't.

Where does

he get money?

That's probably

why he's here.

How come he gets

to have a horse?

Why were

you lovers?

Eat.

[blues music]

[knocking]

(Charles)

Uncle Scott?

Uncle Scott?

I'm f***ing starving.

Why do you have

a horse?

This guy of Memphis owed me some money.

I took the horse instead.

Worked out well, 'cause

I got a couple of DUIs,

and I can't operate

anything with a key.

Good thing

we lock our doors.

Where is everybody?

In bed.

That's the plate

Charles' made for you,

and exquisite is the dinner he refused to eat

'cause he was waiting for his Uncle Scott.

Sh*t.

I got in the f***ing tub, and

the next thing you know--

I think it's time

for you to leave.

I missed dinner.

Big f***ing deal. I mean, I

didn't know there were rules.
