Bader Zamalano 3 Summer vacation Page #2

---

The rest of the family agrees, and they all take turns petting and hugging the new cat.

BADER:
(smiling) I think furball is going to like it here.

The camera shows furball happily as the family leaves the animal shelter.

FADE IN:

INT. ZAMALANO KITCHEN - DAY

Slim Z walks into the kitchen carrying a cat bowl.

SLIM Z:
(placing the bowl on the counter) I got a bowl for furball.

Caleb Reynolds walks into the kitchen.

CALEB REYNOLDS:
(peering at the bowl) “burfall?”

Slim Z looks confused and squints at the bowl.

SLIM Z:
(re-reading the bowl) I’m pretty sure it says “furball.”

CALEB REYNOLDS:
(laughing) Sorry, man. I thought it said “burfall.”

Slim Z rolls his eyes and shakes his head.

SLIM Z:
(smiling) It’s all good.

The camera shows furball walking into the kitchen and playing

SLIM Z:
(calling to furball) Here you go, boy. Enjoy your brand new bowl.

CALEB:
(smiling) It’s a nice bowl, Slim Z.

ANNIE BALTIC :
(nodding in agreement) Yes, thank you.

SHAIKHA:
(giggling) burfall. (giggles again)

EVERLEIGH:
(grinning) That’s a funny name for a bowl.

The rest of the family agrees and laughs along.

Slim Z looks at the bowl one more time and then shrugs.

SLIM Z:
(smirking) Hey, if furball doesn’t mind having a “burfall” bowl, I don’t mind either.

Everyone laughs and the camera shows furball happily eating out of his new bowl.

FADE IN:

EXT. ZAMALANO BACKYARD - DAY

Bader and Slim Z are both sitting in chairs in the backyard playing video games. Caleb Reynolds walks into the backyard and notices Bader and Slim Z playing video games.

CALEB REYNOLDS:
(frowning) Hey, Bader, aren’t you supposed to be playing sports right now?

BADER:
(pauses video game) Uh, yeah, I guess.

CALEB REYNOLDS:
(disapprovingly) Then what are you doing playing video games?

SLIM Z:
(laughing) This is much more fun than sweating out in the sun.

CALEB REYNOLDS:
(raising his voice) That’s not the point, Slim Z. We talked about this. No screen time during sports time

Slim Z stops laughing and looks annoyed.

SLIM Z:
(sarcastically) Oh no, not the rules!

CALEB REYNOLDS:
(yelling) That’s it. No video games for the rest of the summer. And no TV either.

BADER:
(pleading) Come on, Caleb, it’s just one game.

SLIM Z:
(smirking) Yeah, lighten up.

CALEB REYNOLDS:
(yelling) No! You’ve both had enough screen time for one day. You need to get out and play some sports.

Slim Z rolls his eyes and goes back to his video game. Caleb Reynolds notices the game console and the tv’s cables and pulls them out.

CALEB REYNOLDS:
(smiling while yelling) Ha! Guess who’s the laugher now?

SLIM Z:
(confused) What are you talking about?

CALEB REYNOLDS:
(sarcastically) Me! I’m the laugher! I’m laughing louder than ever!
