The Disappointments Room Page #4

Hey. Where's Daddy?

He had to make

a phone call to Japan.

Well, I was thinking, um,

I could set up your house

for you if you want.

I mean, you could

help if you want.

Okay.

Okay.

DANA:
Okay, you remember

how this goes together?

LUCAS:
No.

It's okay, it's complicated.

As were the clients, if your

mom remembers correctly.

Okay, first things first.

We start with the base.

You gonna do it by yourself?

You do it all by yourself.

Very nice.

How about... That one?

That.

Good job. And...

LUCAS:
That big boy.

Couple more pieces to go.

What do you think? Yeah?

That one. Yeah.

DANA:
You got it? Okay.

LUCAS:
Yup.

That one. You got it?

Yes. Very good.

Yes.

Lucas?

Yeah.

I just... I just

wanted to tell you...

I just wanted

to say I'm sorry.

That's okay.

Sometimes bad things happen

and you don't know why.

(SIGHS)

Yeah.

Yeah, that's very true.

I think sometimes

maybe I'd like

a sister again.

(SIGHS)

You would?

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

LUCAS:
Tickle the toes.

Tickle the toes.

DAVID:
You don't speak baby?

LUCAS:
No, not anymore.

DAVID:
No?

(DAVID BABBLING)

(BABY COOS)

Baby selfie, baby selfie.

Aww.

(BABY COOING)

(DANA LAUGHS)

(WOMAN WAILING)

(WOMAN CRYING)

(PURRING)

(SOBBING ECHOES)

WOMAN:
Don't come back here!

(WOMAN CACKLING)

(DOG SNARLING AND BARKING)

(GASPING)

(WHIMPERING)

You think that child

was begotten

of my loins rotten?

(BABY CRYING)

He won't let us out.

Not a chance in hell.

LUCAS:
(WHISPERING)

Mommy. Mommy.

Can I have my

breakfast, Mommy?

Yes, Lucas, you can

have your breakfast.

(BABY CRYING IN DISTANCE)

(PANTING)

(CAT MEOWS)

Oh!

(GASPS)

God.

Sorry. Sorry.

Oh, for God's sake.

I really am sorry, ma'am.

I hope I didn't scare you too bad.

That was not my intention.

I'm sorry, who are you?

And what are you doing sneaking

around on my property?

Answering your prayers.

DANA:
See, it's gone

unchecked for a while.

Lucky it didn't cave.

Lucky I stopped by

when I did.

Well, and lucky for you people

around here like to gossip.

(CHUCKLES)

That they do.

Also heard you were an

architect or something.

Yeah, or something.

Well, maybe we should

talk about money.

Well, that's

a little premature.

(CHUCKLES) Come again?

You haven't been hired yet.

No?

No.

There's nothing I can do

to change your mind?

DAVID:
Hello.

David...

Uh, this is

my husband, David.

David, this is

Ben Philips, Jr.

Yes, the legend. Hey.

Nice to meet you.

Likewise.

Mr. Philips is here

about the leak.

Right.

Ben works fine.

Great, Ben,

when can you start?

No, that's still

up in the air.

Soon as you pull

the trigger.

We should probably get on

to this right away, babe,

don't you think?
