Straight A's Page #3

Synopsis: Years ago, Scott left common lover Katherine at the altar to become a hedonistic junkie. She married his brother William, a successful Louisiana workaholic, who sired a daughter but probably not bright nerd son Charles and is serially adulterous on his many business trips. Now Scott returns on horseback, having lost his drivers permit, inviting himself and proving a popular, yet unreliable uncle for Charles. Making up with father is impossible due to Alzheimer. As Scott keeps surprising his family, his sad secret emerges.

Oh, there are rules.

You can come back on Thursday

when William returns.

I said I'm sorry.

It won't happen again.

I'm not the one you need

to apologize to.

I don't know about that. I'm sure I

owe you a couple from somewhere.

We haven't seen or heard from you since

you made that scene at the wedding.

You show up, you call

me a bad mother.

My son a homosexual, or at

the very least strange,

and your horse is ruining

my f***ing flowers.

Wait a minute.

First of all, I never

called you a bad mother.

Ana' I'm sorry

about the wedding.

I probably shouldn't

have been there,

but you all probably

shouldn't have invited me.

You were the best man.

Was I?

Did you smoke

this part of the story?

You left me. I left

Texas, not you.

You were the one

who chose to stay.

I sent you a ticket.

You've hurt everyone who's

ever cared about you,

and I can't let you do the

same thing to my children.

I will make it up to Charles.

I promise you.

(woman)

Scott?

Mom?

Now, you really think

that's a good idea?

[whispering]

You promised

I'm just

A rambling man

I roam from .0

Town to town .0

[Too Young continues]

[Gracie chanting]

Morning,

morning, morning.

(Katherine) Gracie, shh.

Mama's on the phone.

Good morning, Uncle Scott. Yeah.

You missed

spaghetti.

I fell asleep

in the tub.

It's dangerous. I wear

floaties in the tub.

Morning, sis.

Morning, bro.

What up, Charlie?

Dude, I rode about 400 miles

on a horse yesterday.

I was dead tired.

I'm sorry.

I was really looking forward to our first

family meal with you all, and playing games.

He fell asleep

in the tub.

Yeah.

I believe it's time for schoo,.

You ready, Louisa?

All right, great.

Just f***ing ignore me.

Kids!

Louisa!

They left already.

Oh.

Okay, well, I'm

running late, so.

Louisa will be back. Just

don '2' touch anything.

Hey, what did

Willie say?

No smoking in the house,

including marijuana, no Vicodin.

No drugs

in my house.

Yes, ma'am.

[Joe Purdy

singing Big Top]

The center of the table, please.

[music continues]

Oh, sh*t!

What are you doing?

What's your

favorite cartwheel?

I don't really

have one.

Well, do you like

grapefruit juice?

Yeah.

I really screwed up

with Charles, didn't I?

Do you think

he'll forgive me?

It's your time.

Okay.

(woman) Gentlemen,

it's a pleasure.

I'm lead counsel for the private

interest who controls the /ease

on the riverfront

property.

Dana!

Billy?

Yeah.

Hey.

How are you doing?

Great.

Great to see you.

You, too. I didn't know

you were on this project.

Yeah.

Thank you,

Miss Earling.

That was quite

exceptional.

Next up, Mr. Henderson

on the subject of the Aztecs.
