Peeples Page #3

Simon:
Yeah.

Yeah. Okay. Si. All right.

Yeah!

So, I guess we

should get you settled.

He's staying?

Last jitney's gone, dad. Be nice.

Well, there's

several other options.

There's a bed and breakfast

a couple of towns over.

Yeah, I could just get

a hotel. It's no problem.

No, no, no.

That's ridiculous.

Uh-oh.

(Imitates whipping)

(Chuckles)

Simon will come

down to get your bags

to take you over

to the guesthouse.

Because that's

where you're staying.

Grace knows good and well

she didn't tell me about this.

Daphne:
Honey,

she can hear you.

Okay, let's see

how you like it, hmm?

Okay, very good.

Good. Yup.

(Clears throat)

(Whispering) Come on!

Wow!

Yeah.

That was interesting.

What?

They have no idea who I am. Who?

Grace!

Your mama, your daddy,

your sister, your dog.

(Shushing)

Hey!

What's up?

Hey, si.

It's a pleasure, man.

Yeah. Okay.

Yeah, I'll get this for you.

Wade:
Oh, that's a grown

sexy watch right there.

Nice.

You know.

(Chuckles)

Thank you, Simon.

Yeah, whatever. It's "si. "

It's pretty obvious to me your

father does not want me here,

which messes up

my whole plan.

What plan?

What?

Never mind. Come here.

No, baby, look...

Maybe I should just go.

No, no. You can't go. If you go,

you'll forever be wade the quitter.

It's fine. We can do this. We're a team.

(Sighs)

(Whispering)

Whoa.

Why are you

acting like we're on

some commando

mission or something?

This is just me

meeting your family.

I know. Look, I'm sorry. I

just want you to be comfortable.

Comfortable? You said this

was a weekend beach house.

It is.

Listen to me, okay? These are

some tips for dealing with daddy.

Number one.

Don't assume every question is

hostile. Although most probably are.

Number two. If he touches on a

subject that is uncomfortable,

don't look away.

Stay engaged.

Look him dead in his eye. Just tell

him exactly what he wants to hear.

Are you serious right now?

Yes.

Okay, you know

I believe in honesty.

I do, too.

Honey, all I'm saying is,

think about

maybe what he might

want you to say,

and then say that.

(Chuckles)

You're gonna be great.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Oh, let me get that

for you, Mr. peeples.

Judge.

You have a beautiful home.

Thank you.

So, you live

in the city, wade?

Yes.

Near Gracie's

new place?

Uh-huh. Yeah.

Very close. Very close.

Daphne:
Oh, excellent.

You know,

we were just there...

When was it, Virgil?

Last month?

Really?

Yeah. Yeah. I think you

were in class or...

Oh, good for you. You know, I say

never ever stop learning. (Chuckles)

My dream is to earn a

doctorate in child psychology.

So you have

a master's degree?

No, no.
