The Kid Page #7

Synopsis: Russ Duritz (Bruce Willis) is a wealthy L.A. image consultant, but as he nears 40, he's cynical, dogless, chickless, estranged from his father (Daniel von Bargen), and he has no memories of his childhood. One night he surprises an intruder (Spencer Breslin), who turns out to be a kid, almost 8 years old. There's something oddly familiar about the chubby lad, whose name is Rusty. The boy's identity sparks a journey into Russ's past that the two of them take - to find the key moment that has defined who Russ is. Two long-suffering women look on with disbelief: Russ's secretary, Janet(Lily Tomlin), and his assistant, the lovely Amy, to whom Rusty takes a shine. What, and who, is at the end of this journey?

Just waiting for it to kick in.

Prepare to disappear!

Disappeared?

Very powerful medicine

seems to be working.

I'm still here.

I'm not throwing your dismembered

enemies into the Dumpster.

I've got my limits.

Do you remember when I had you sign

those confidentiality papers

at the office?

- Yeah.

- And do you remember me telling you...

that if you ever said anything

to anyone about anything that

happens in this company...

that I would not only sue you,

but I would bring you to financial ruin?

Snore.

Okay, then.

You can, uh...

You can see him?

Yes, I, um, can.

You could see a little boy

standing there?

Yes.

I'm pretty sure.

Okay.

This little boy is me at age eight.

And I want you

to make him disappear.

- He's you?

- Yeah.

- At age eight?

- Mm-hmm.

And you want me

to make him disappear?

Please.

- How was the therapist this morning?

- Do it, Janet!

- How am I supposed to make

a kid disappear?

- Hey, you are the assistant!

Figure it out, okay?

You yelled at me!

That is great. That... That helps.

I feel I'm thinking more clearly.

I-I feel I-I'm just more in touch

with my, my magic assistant powers.

Alakazam, alakazam.

Dalakazam kazoo.

Boom! Presto! Ha!

- Hi.

- Didn't work.

I should've worn

my magic bra and panties.

Get in the car.

- I'm really disappointed in you, Janet.

- Oh, fired, I hope.

- No. Forget about your bonus.

- Oh, boo hoo. What about my dental?

My boss appears

to have lost his mind.

Sure you wouldn't rather

stay here with me?

I'll be okay.

Waaah! Waaah!

Somebody call the "waaambulance"!

What are you

crying about anyway?

I just wanna go home.

Well, I'm trying

to get you home, okay?

- Am I in trouble?

- You're gonna be in trouble

if you wipe that snot...

on my calfskin seat...

Don't do it.

Just try and remember

where you live, okay?

- You should know that.

- Well, I don't know that.

We moved 12 times.

We move a dozen times?

- Yes. A dozen is 12. We moved 12 times.

- What happens?

What happens?

A big truck comes...

they put all your stuff inside,

and you move to another house.

- Twelve times.

- Look! There it is right there!

Remember it now?

- No.

- Look, that's where we

fell off the roof last year.

That's the bush we fell onto.

And that's where the really big possum

crawled under the house.

- Remember?

- Yeah, that was one of

life's big events...

when the possum

crawled under the house.

- How could I forget?

- You don't remember the possum?

It was, like, this big!

And it had

really long teeth.

He took our sneaker

in his mouth and ran off with it.

You've gotta remember that.

Hey, I don't remember

the possum, okay?

I hardly remember
