The Descendants Page #5

Good morning.

How you feeling? Hung over?

Why am I not surprised?

I thought you were supposed to be

getting your act together.

I have gotten my act together.

I was just drinking.

I've been doing really well, actually.

Nobody ever seems to notice that.

Grades are better.

I was in that stupid play

you guys didn't bother to see.

Do you even remember the name of it?

That's what I thought.

So what? What if I got drunk

on the one night you happened to stop by?

So f***ing what?

Hey, hey,

watch your language around Scottie.

I don't care.

Anyway.

Listen, it's nice to see you.

Welcome home. Here.

You want some eggs?

I can't believe that.

What?

Heh. Oh, my God. Uh-huh.

- Hey, Alex?

- Well, what'd she say?

- Can I talk to you for a minute?

- Uh...

The pool's really dirty.

Uh-huh.

Wait, what?

- Hey, I really need to talk to you.

- She didn't say...

She didn't say anything to me.

Uh-huh. Ha, ha.

Oh, my God, I can't believe she...

Hey, uh... Yeah, yeah, I gotta go.

Okay, I'll see you later.

Um...

- What day does the pool guy come?

- He comes...

- You know, I don't know when he comes.

- Awesome.

- Sid's coming over.

- Who's Sid?

A really good friend from Punahou.

We were in school together for years.

Oh. Okay.

He wants to be here for me

with all this sh*t happening.

- Do I know his parents?

- Nope.

- He might stay over too. Is that cool?

- Hey, Alex, over here.

What the f***?

Get out of my underwear, you freak.

No. Okay, no, no, no.

- Don't I look divine?

- Back inside. Put on a swimsuit.

- Why?

- Now.

Real good job you're doing.

That's part of why I brought you here.

You have to help me.

I don't know what to do with her.

Maybe if you spent more time with her,

she wouldn't act like such a complete spaz.

Get her out of town. Go camp on Kauai.

That's what Mom used to do with me

whenever I was losing it.

Hey, listen. No, listen. Listen to me.

- Your mother's not well.

- Yeah, obviously.

No.

They just told me she's not gonna wake up.

We know for sure now.

The doctors are gonna stop caring

for her.

Your mother wanted it this way.

She has this...

She has this will, see,

that says that we have to do it this way.

We both do.

You understand what I'm saying?

That's why I got you.

Honey, we're letting her go.

Why did you have to tell me

in the goddamn pool?

Alex. Alex.

What?

What do you want?

Uh...

I just found out yesterday.

We have to go through this thing together,

you and Scottie and me.

And I have to go around

and tell people what's happening.

Family and a few close friends.

Sometimes I'm gonna need you

to come with me.

Sometimes I need you to watch Scottie.
