Cyrus Page #5

Synopsis: With John's social life at a standstill and his ex-wife about to get remarried, a down on his luck divorcé finally meets the woman of his dreams, only to discover she has another man in her life - her son. Still single seven years after the breakup of his marriage, John has all but given up on romance. But at the urging of his ex-wife and best friend Jamie, John grudgingly agrees to join her and her fiancé Tim at a party. To his and everyone else's surprise, he actually manages to meet someone: the gorgeous and spirited Molly. Their chemistry is immediate. The relationship takes off quickly but Molly is oddly reluctant to take the relationship beyond John's house. Perplexed, he follows her home and discovers the other man in Molly's life: her son, Cyrus. A 21-year-old new age musician, Cyrus is his mom's best friend and shares an unconventional relationship with her. Cyrus will go to any lengths to protect Molly and is definitely not ready to share her with anyone, especially John. Bef

Hi.

Hi.

- Night, John.

- Good night, Cyrus.

- Night, Molly.

- Good night, Cyrus.

Good shower?

Yeah.

Yeah?

You know, there's something that I've

been thinking about in the shower. And I--

I really appreciated what you were expressing

in the kitchen and throughout dinner.

And I've-- I--

I feel a little, um--

I guess a little embarrassed

and just a little, uh--

It's not even that.

I just want to say I appreciate

how open you were.

I love that about you,

and I'm sorry that I wasn't

as open about my boy.

No, that's fine.

It's your--

Yeah, I know.

your prerogative not to say that stuff.

It's private, we just met,

and I was fine with it. I mean--

He's a great kid too.

He is.

I'm glad you appreciate that.

I was going to leave,

and he was, like,

"No, come in, come in."

I'm happy to hear that.

I didn't--

I'm happy to hear that.

And that's the thing.

He's so--

He's very mature,

as you can see, in a lot of ways,

and he really pushes me.

But in other ways he's just--

he's not come into himself yet.

And-And it's coming,

and it's coming from a very deep place.

This could be a--

This is a very sudden--

You are very sudden.

And I haven't had a man over--

to stay overnight--

since Cyrus, uh, was born.

So it's a new thing.

Well-- But to tell you the truth,

you didn't have me over.

I-- I stalked you over--

Yeah, you gave it a little--

I get seized sometimes,

so it's okay you're here.

Molly, everything is a gift,

at this point, to me.

Just getting to hang out.

Like every moment,

from moment to moment.

Thanks for talking to me

about my--

I just feel a little--

No, I know.

N-N-N--

No, we leave the door open.

Oh. I was just going to

take my pants off.

We just-- We-- We just

always leave the door open.

Um, okay.

Hey.

Good morning.

You guys are early risers, huh?

Yep. How'd you sleep?

Good.

Good. How'd you sleep?

Very well.

Good.

Nice.

So what's-- What's, uh--

What's going on?

What's the plan?

What are you guys doing?

Um, we go to Elysian Park every

morning and eat a little breakfast...

and take some photos

for a few hours.

Yeah. Cyrus composes

to images of nature.

Sounds cool.

I am supposed to work.

Should I blow it off?

I'll just get it over with.

I'll get in there. Get it done.

Then I have less to do next week, so--

Anyway, all right.

Here you go, Mom.

Did you guys see my shoes?

- No.

- They were right here.

Weird.

Okay.

Yeah. I can't believe

how deep into it I am already.

That's amazing.

I'm so happy for you.

Thank you.

I really am.

It's amazing.

Is it that obvious?
