Flutter Page #3

Synopsis: Johnathan is a nine-year-old boy who loves sea monsters, and his 300 lb. pet pig, named Wee Wee. Unlike most kids, Johnathan has nystagmus, which makes his eyes "flutter." He also suffers from severe narrow angle glaucoma; an acute condition that if untreated can lead to permanent blindness. JoLynn cares for Johnathan alone while her singer/songwriter husband David travels in search of his big break. To treat Johnathan, she grows hydroponic marijuana to relieve the painful intraocular pressure Glaucoma causes. She cooks the marijuana into brownies and feeds them to him in secret. David's parents, Mark and Linda, live nearby and provide for JoLynn and Johnathan as best they can on a fixed income. Linda is highly critical of JoLynn's ability to raise Johnathan. During her son's absence, Johnathan has become more undisciplined than Linda would like. While Mark tries to keep the peace, he is torn between his wife and their daughter-in-law, who he loves deeply. When JoLynn discovers that Li

Now, you and your husband need

to prepare yourselves

for the fact that Johnathan

may just need to take meds

for the rest of his life.

So the drops are working to

control the pressure spikes?

Yeah, they make his vision

blurry though.

He complained about... Well,

he complains about it a lot.

Well, he needs them though.

You need to make sure

he takes them.

After that allergic reaction,

he's afraid of the drops.

I'm gonna keep him

on the myotics.

The spikes are just

too dangerous.

I'm going to have to add

an oral inhibitor,

and we'll see how he does.

Contact me immediately

if he experiences

any shortness of breath.

Now, my adding these

may make him...

a little tired and weak,

just a little sluggish.

But that could be good for you.

Boys can be a handful.

You ready, Johnathan?

Let's go.

Can I go check the fishing lines

at Mr. Upshaw's pond?

Yeah, that's fine.

Just don't get caught, okay?

- No swimming.

- Yes, ma'am.

I got to go give her a hand

in the garden.

This is how I maintain

my girlish physique.

Hey, Mark?

Yeah.

Thank you for taking us

to the doctor today.

Of course.

You know as well as I do

that those are not hog tracks.

You know where they came from.

Did you talk to Johnathan?

Yeah. He denies it.

Seemed a little dodgy

to me though.

If she would just

keep an eye on that boy,

teach him some respect

for property.

Don't start.

What are these doing out?

It's okay, fishy.

I'm here to save you,

so Mommy don't eat you.

Hah! Gotcha!

I don't think

you taste good anyway.

Johnathan, you went swimming.

Come on, let's go.

- Where are we going?

- We're going home.

But we're going

to Grandma's for dinner.

Look, I don't want you going

to Grandma's again, okay?

- Not without me.

- Why?

Because I said so.

Look, she's pissed because

you keep breaking all her stuff.

I didn't mean to.

I know, I know.

It's just sh*t anyway.

The whole house is full of sh*t.

We're not going there anymore.

Look, I'm gonna take care of you

from now on, okay?

Till Daddy comes back.

Okay.

Come on.

From now on, nobody can

come in the house, okay?

Nobody.

Especially Grandma and Grandpa.

- You hear me?

- Yes, ma'am.

Go!

1, 2...

3, 4...

I can't do it

if you don't hold my feet.

- Hey, JoLynn!

- Oh, God. It's Natalie.

Hey! Sorry to drop in

unannounced.

What happened to your phone?

- Oh, it just got shut off.

- Oh, well, ain't that shitty.

Hey, Johnathan,

looking like a stud.

Hey, Aunt Natalie.

Hey, I wanna tell you something.

Hey, 20 more minutes of P.E.

while we visit.

Wee Wee, help!

Come on,

you never get out anymore.

I know, but I can't just leave

Johnathan here by himself.

He can take care of himself.
