No Family Page #2

INT. NEW HOUSE/VILLA- NIGHT

Amy walked in the kitchen wearing her NIGHTY. There her husband, Carl was working on his computer.

AMY:

(sighed)

Come on Carl, can't you go a day without working? The entire reason we decided to come on this trip is because you are always overworking yourself.

CARL:

I know, honey. Just give me a little bit more time then I'll be finished.

(Carl continues to type on his computer)

AMY:

(roles eyes)

You always do this. You see this why we can never agree. You said…

CARL:

(shouts)

Amy, not now!

AMY:

(yells)

No Carl, it's now or never. Every single time you said that we're going on a family trip. You are always working, and when you said you're just going to finish up, you never stop and work the entire trip. It's…it's like you haven't taken a break at all, and you don't see that you're overworking yourself and you can die.

CARL:

(brush his hand over his head)

Amy, I get that you're worried for my safety and health but I'm fine.

AMY:

(tears up, she nods her head, yes as tears flows down her eyes)

That's exactly what CHRIS said, and look at him now. Dead…in his grave. He left his wife with a huge burden. And I can see how you two are brothers now.

Amy turned and walked to her children's room as she wiped her tears.

CARL:

Amy! Amy, come on!

Amy went in her kids room to put them to bed

AMY:

Come on kids, time for bed.

John and Rosemary climbed on the bed next to their mother. JOHN WAS ONLY FOUR AND ROSEMARY WAS SIX.

ROSEMARY:

Mom, can you read us a bedtime story?

AMY:

Of course honey.

Amy grabbed a book next to her on the bookshelf.

Ok, let's begin. Once upon a time there lived a beautiful princess with long red hair, red as a ripe apple. She had crystal, pale skin. Everyone in the kingdom worships the princess like a goddess.

Amy read on until the story was finished and the kids were fast asleep.

AMY (CONT'D)

And the princess and the prince lived happily ever after.

Amy smiled at her kids, she kiss their foreheads before turning off the lights and leaving. Amy then returns to her room.

CARL:

You're finally back

AMY:

I didn't know that I owe you anything. If I knew any better, I would have stayed in the kids room.

CARL:

Amy I get that you're mad at me, but I have to work or how will we survive. If I wasn't working how would I be able to afford this place?

AMY:

Well sorry for not considering your feelings and your love to work. I'll just stop being a caring wife then or I'm a nagging wife that you can't wait to get rid of.
