Cohens House - Kitchen
Everyone is in the kitchen talking. Seth walks in wearing a pair of head sets listening to music. He is jammming. He starts dancing around not recognizing anyones prescence. He is wearing a red robe and the only thing he has on is a gray t shirt and a pair of boxers.
Everyones attention goes to him. Seth is oblivious and goes to pour himself some juice when he finally realizes that he has gotten the attention of everyone in the room. Seth looks around and notices that his dad has stopped reading his paper. Morgans mom Sarah is smiling at him. Morgans giggling and Marissa is standing there staring at him with her arms folded. She smiles and says ...
Marissa - Morning Seth.
Then everyone joins in at the same time.
Everyone - Morning Seth!
Seth is surprised .
He realizes what he was doing and realizes what he's wearing and looks down.
Seth - Okay, embarassing!
He takes off his head phones. He follows everyones eyes and looks down to the hole in his crouch. Wrapping himself quickly with his robe he closes his eyes and turns his head like he just been violated. He leaves the room.
Everyone starts to laugh.
A Few minutes later ...
Seth enters back into the kitchen. This time fully clothed and ready for school. He walks over to Sandy. Sandy slaps him on the back.
Sandy - Your looking better. I like you better that way.
Seth- Yeah, actually I do too. Is mom sleeping?
Everyone looks at Seth with concern on their faces.
Sandy - You know she isn't feeling well. Especially since ...
Seth - I know. Don't remind me.
Seth says not wanting his father to go any farther.
Sandy can see that Seth is really worried.
Sandy - Hey, why don't you say goodbye to her before you leave. I think she'd like that.
Seth - Okay, I will.
Sandy - Hey, I made you some pancakes.
Sandy says this quickly eager to get Seths mind off his mom.
Seth - Really? I don't see any.
Sandy - Their right over ...
He points to the spot he left them and then snaps his fingers.
Sandy - Damn. I guess someones got to them.
Morgans eating Seths pancakes.
Seth is shocked.
Seth - Dad, I didn't know we kept monsters in the house.
Sandy - We do? I didn't know that.
Seth - Come on dad. What are you talking about? Theirs one right there and she's eating my pancakes.
Morgan starts laughs.
Sandy - So, that's where those noises were coming from. I knew it wasn't in my head.
Everyone smiles.
Seth goes over to Morgan and starts tickling her.
Morgan laughs.
Morgan - Stop!
Seth - Not until you give me some.
Morgan grabs a piece of pancake with a fork and places it in Seths mouth.
Seth - What do you think dad?
Sandy - Nope. I don't think that's good enough.
Seth - Yeah , I'm still kinda of hungry.
Seth tickles her some more.
Seth - One more.
Morgan - Okay, okay!
She places another piece in his mouth.
Seth swallows it.
Seth - Yeah , now I'm feeling much better.
Seth kisses her on the cheek.
Seth - Hey, what are you doing after school.
Morgan - I don't know.
She looks at her mom.
Her mom shrugs her shoulders.
Seth - How would you like to hang out with me. I got this movie I wanted to show you.
Seth pulls a dvd from his school bag. On the cover is a young girl riding a white dragon. The dvd is titled Spirited Away.He shows it to her.
Seth - This here is an anime classic. Great for young girls by a lengendary director.
Morgan - How about that?
She pulls out another dvd Seth hadn't noticed titled Evangelion.
Seth - That one? Well that's one is a little mature. So let's put that one aside.
Seth says looking at Morgans mom Sarah.
Sarah - You know they are really good together.
She tells Marissa.
Marissa - Yeah, you know I'm thinking of getting me one.
Marissa says loudly so Seth can hear.
Sandy chokes on his coffee.
He wipes his mouth.
Sandy - Well this is news to me.
Marissa - What do you think?
She ask Seth.
Marissa - Would you like to have one with me someday?
Seth looks at Morgan and then to Marissa and considers it.
Sandy - Okay, it's time for school. Everyone out.
Everyone gathers their stuff ready to depart.
Seth - Your trying to get rid of me aren't you?
Sandy hands Seth his book bag and starts rubbing his shoulders.
Sandy - Get going. Have a good day.
At that moment Kirsten walks in.
Seth - Mom.
Sandy - Good morning honey! You shouldn't be out of bed. Can I get you anything?
He puts his arm around her.
Kirsten - No, I'm fine.
Sandy goes back to his coffee.
Sandy - You missed it. Apparently we have some big news.
Kirsten - I heard.
She slowly walks over to Marissa and holds her arms.
Kirsten - I think it's great.
She brushes the hair from her face and looks directly at her as though she's the only one there.
Kirsten - I would like that.
She tells her. She kisses her on the forehead and puts her arm around her. As she does this she gives Seth a look like "You better". Catching Sandys disaproving eyes she says ...
Kirsten - Later. Not now.
Kirsten starts coughing. Feeling weak she starts swaying on the spot. Seth grabs her and puts her arm around his shoulder. He lifts her up.
Seth - Let's get you back to bed.
Seth walks with his mom and carries her up the steps.
He places her in her bed and covers her up.
Seth - Mom, are you gonna be okay?
Kirsten - I'll be fine. You have fun in school and behave.
Seth - I won't.
He says smiling.
Kirsten playfully slaps his arm.
Kirsten - Get out of here.
He kisses her on the cheek.
Seth - Later, mom.
Leaving the room he heads downstairs and joins the group.
Seth - So will I see you later?
He ask Morgan.
Morgan looks over at her mom.
Sarah - I think so.
Seth gives her an excited look.
Morgan - Later.

Everyone leaves.
Sandy eneters his bedroom.
He goes over to his wife.
Sandy - I think we raised one hell of a kid.
Kirsten - I do too.
Sandy - He's worried about you ,you know.
Kirsten - I know.
Sandy - So am I.
He sits down on the bed beside her.
Kirsten - I'm scared.
Sandy holds her hand.
