Little Red Wagon Page #4

You're special to me.

KELLEY:
No,

Zach's special to you.

You always wanted me to

be special, but I'm not.

I...

I cannot...

Zach, let's go.

Here, you drive.

Zach, in the back.

Come on. Let's go.

Face it, Mom.

Dance classes,

tennis classes,

photography, cheerleading, the hospice,

all those things

that you made me do.

Made? You...

You wanted to

do those things!

I was encouraging

your interests.

No, you wanted me

to do those things.

And even when I did, you pushed

me until I didn't any more.

The tennis matches

and camp?

I just wanted to play once

in a while, not compete.

(EXASPERATED SIGH)

(FEMALE DISPATCHER

TALKING OVER RADIO)

(GASPS)

OFFICER:

Roll the window down.

The window.

Roll it down.

Ma'am, I'm afraid

you can't sleep here.

This is commercial property and

I could cite you for trespassing.

Really? I'm sorry.

If you don't have

any money for a hotel room,

there's a homeless

shelter downtown,

the Metropolitan Ministry

on Florida Avenue.

If they're full, I got a

24-hour number I can give you.

No, no, we're not

homeless, Officer.

Okay. Well,

you still have to move on.

There's a rest stop about

eight miles up the 75.

You think

you can find it?

Uh, up the 75? Okay.

Be careful.

Lock your doors.

You take care of

your mom now, okay?

Thank you, Officer.

Seatbelt.

So you would be willing to take

some domestic work? Housekeeping...

At this point,

I would take anything.

I just need to work.

A paycheck of some sort.

Um, you haven't listed

an address here?

What about

a phone number?

I don't have

one right now.

Um, is that a problem?

Well, how are we supposed to

contact you if something opens up?

Well, how about I call you?

Say, once a day to check

whether you have anything for me?

Yeah, we can try that.

But don't harass me

with a lot of phone calls?

Absolutely.

No, of course not.

Thanks for your application,

and we'll give you a call...

I'll be waiting

for your call.

Did you give any more thought about what

we talked about, about the college thing?

I don't think I'm really

the college type.

You've seen my grades.

Well...

I dunno.

How about your

photography?

Stop with

the photography thing.

That's just,

you know, for fun.

Okay.

I like cooking.

I don't know.

I love to eat.

So, you know...

Cooking thing, maybe?

Well, maybe you should take

some classes over the summer.

See if you like it.

Yeah?

Mmm-hmm.

Are they expensive?

I don't know. It's gotta

be cheaper than college.

You know, we could

take 'em together.

Really?

Yeah.

(LAUGHING) Seriously?

That would be so cool.

All right.

(DOORBELL RINGS)

Huh. Wonder who that is.

Hi, Z. Bonner?

His mother, but I'm willing

to give that up for some quiet.

I got a package here

for Zach Bonner.

Can you sign this, please?

Okay.

Uh...

Thank you very much.

All right.

Um, excuse me?

Where's our package?

It's not one.

It's 500 of them.

500 what?

Bears.

500 Build-A-Bear bears.

Yes! Whoo! Yes!

Oh, my...

Zach, what did you do?

Well, I sent 100 e-mails

to big companies

asking for donations,

and one answered.

So, where do you want 'em?

Uh...

In the garage,

I guess. Zach?

What are we supposed to do

with 500 stuffed bears?

(OVER PA) On behalf of

myself, Kristy Kilgo,

and all the employees here

at the Lazydays RV center,

we would like to welcome

the mothers and children

of the Tampa Bay

Shelter for Women

and wish them

a very merry Christmas.

I got a bear.

(ALL TALKING)

(BALLOON POPPING)

Oh!

Oh, that hurt!

LAURIE:

They're really good.

Merry Christmas.

MAN:
Enjoy.

Oh, I will. Thank you.

Enjoy. Merry Christmas.

SANTA:
You've been a good

girl, right? You promise?

Yes.

(LAUGHS) Okay.

You have a merry Christmas.

Ho, ho, ho!

Merry Christmas.

Hi! Merry Christmas!

This is for you.

Hi...

You promise?

All right.

I promise.

(LAUGHS)

Merry Christmas.

How are you?

Good.

Good.

Enjoy.

MAN:
Merry Christmas.

Um, I'm sorry, Nana. I was told

that CNN would pick it up...

I was promised CNN.

(SING-SONG VOICE) Hello!

PUBLICIST:

Stand over here.

Okay, let's get

some kids over here

and kick this puppy

down the stairs.

Thank you. Let's get you some presents.

Thank you. You were

great. Merry Christmas.

(CLEARS THROAT)

TV legend Nana Galloway

stopped in Tampa recently.

Santa, I need to borrow

you just a second.

...to promote

her charitable foundation

and her recently

released box set

of her TV series, Busybody.

She's here to help less

fortunate women and children.

Let's have a word with her.

Miss Galloway...

Excuse me, chief. Nana...

What drives you to interrupt your

busy schedule to do things like this?

I'm always looking to help.

It's what I do.

It's part of who I am.

Busybody?

Yep.

It was a little

before your time.

It was about this old lady who

snoops around her neighborhood,

solving everyone's problems.

I'm always

looking to help.

Big smile. It's in my

nature, what I'm all about.

I'm just hoping that tonight

we can give a little joy

to these women

and children...

It was opposite

Fantasy Island.

The looks on their little faces

when they open these presents

is the only gift I need

this Christmas.

Laurie. Hi!

Oh!

I haven't seen you

since the Be More Awards.

Kristy, I'm so sorry.

I didn't see you

standing there.

And I'm sorry we didn't come

over earlier to say hello.

You did such a good job

putting this all on for Zach.

Oh, well, me and Harold

and our foundation.

But, really, it's

our employees here.

They volunteer

their time,

but they also have

a portion of their income

deducted from every paycheck to

help fund our charitable works.

(SOFTLY) Wow.

At Lazydays, we like to say,

"We pay the kids first."

...one collection.

I'm glad I could help.

(SIGHS)

We really appreciate it.

Doesn't it just grind

your middle kidney

that Galloway's riding

on your son's coattails?

Well...

You know what?

You should get in

on this photo opportunity.

You're responsible

for most of this.

Miss Galloway?

Yes? Um...

Miss Galloway,

this is Zach Bonner.

His foundation helped

make this event happen.

A lot of it.

I think you should get a

picture with the Bonner family.

No, that's okay.

You go.

All right, let's bring

you right over here.

And maybe just with

the kid for now.

(LAUGHS) A little young to have

your own foundation, mister.

Maybe you could help us.

Some autographed photos,

or some DVDs.

We like to sell that kind of

stuff on eBay to raise money.

Sorry, son, but Nana doesn't

get involved in anything

that raises less than

a million dollars.

I can raise

a million dollars.

(SCOFFS)

A bit of advice, Jack?

Zach.

Whatever.

Do kid things. Stay a

kid as long as you can.

You leave this kind

of thing to us adults.

PUBLICIST:
We'll be late for the

next appointment. Bye, everyone.

Ugh! Did you see me

get ganked?

Ganked? What kind of

word is that?

And then that d-bag pushed me

out of the picture. Hey! Hush!
