Scene 2.

No explanation needed...here goes. If you forgot who's who, check the previous post:

Rob (pulling small kid, cute, 5 years old aside): Hey Tommy, you want to make a buck?

Tommy (serious, businesslike): If it’s worth $1, it’s worth $10.

Matt (impressed): Kid’s got style.

Tommy walks in the general direction of RICK, (who is busy talking shop) turns looking inquiringly at the boys, who silently encourage him, waving 5 one dollar bills. Tommy approaches RICK, who stops his conversation. He smiles at the person he is talking to, but when he turns and looks at Tommy he is scowling.

Rick (sweetly): Hey Tommy, can’t you see Uncle Ricky is busy?

Tommy (resolute and loud): But Ricky, you said you’d teach me how to play Seal.

Rick: Seal? What the hell is Seal?

Matt and Rob snicker in the corner, barely containing themselves.

Tommy: You know, the game you invented! The one where we take off our clothes, jump in the pool and act like a pair of friendly seals!

Rick(embarrassed, looks around smiling, laughs loudly): Kid’s these days, what imaginations! I swear, the future’s looking brighter every day.

The people around him look at him awkwardly, then continue their conversations.

Rick pretends to pat Tommy on the back (it’s more like a slap) and sends him on his way. Rick sees the two brothers trying to hold in their laughter in the corner; gives them the deadly combo of wink, smile and the airgun.

Rob: Didn’t the airgun go out of style in the 80’s?

Matt: Apparently it’s making a comeback among urban teens. (camera pans, shows Dan

doing the same thing in another corner…)
