I was amazed…people actually liked Perfect, and wanted more. That
was actually finished but b/c of a few people, I'm going to keep writing.
Well, thanks! I do not own Providence. By the way Simple Plan sings the
song "Perfect".
Jim- (is sitting down on couch, enraged)
Lynda- (in nightgown, walks to doorway and rests her head on the doorway) Jim, come on to bed
Jim- I can't believe him!
Lynda- He's Robbie, Robbie has always been this way
Jim- (stands up) I know, but why our son?
Lynda- He's a teenager, Jim. A teenager! Remember when you acted like a rebel?
Jim- That was different
Lynda- (shakes head and starts walking upstairs) Of course it was
Jim- (stares at the blank screen on the TV)
(Robbie is sitting on the front of a car, with a bunch of friends)
Robbie- And then my Dad called me a disgrace… God I hate him
Mike- (stoned) Dude, you don't hate your Dad
Robbie- Yeah I do
Jenna- Robbie, trust me, you don't hate him
Robbie- You don't live at my house, you don't know what he's like
Mike- Dude, seriously, your old man isn't that bad
Robbie- (laughs) Yeah right
Jenna- Mike, if Robbie hates his Dad, he hates his Dad
Robbie- exactly
Mike- (finishes his joint) alright. Let's go
Robbie- Nah, I better go. Anyways, if the cops bring me home one more time. I'm just as good as a flat tire
Mike- I turned a flat tire into a tire swing
Robbie- Right, because I want someone's ass in my face
Jenna- (laughs) Okay bye
Mike- You want mine
Robbie- (walking away) God No!
(Robbie opens front door. And starts walking upstairs)
Jim- come here
Robbie- Yeah?
Jim- Why'd you leave
Robbie- Because I wanted to
Jim- You just don't leave Robbie, your Mother was worried
Robbie- (shrugs shoulders) I'm sure
Jim- (trying not to scream) What is wrong with you? Your Mother was worried, and you say, I'm sure????
Robbie- That's what I said Dad
Jim- (aggravated, and points upstairs) Go to your room
Robbie- Okay, (disappears up the stairs)
(Jim walks into his and Lynda's room)
Lynda- Robbie home?
Jim- (puts hand on forehead) Yes
Lynda- Will you calm down
Jim- He doesn't understand
Lynda- Understand what Jim?
Jim- How much I love him. It just kills me to see him wasting his life away
Lynda- He'll be fine
Jim- No, no he won't
Lynda- (pats bed) Yes he will, now come to bed
Jim- (lies down) When do they move out?
Lynda- (laughs) Oh don't say that…when they are gone, we'll be lonely
Jim- I highly doubt it
Lynda- (laughs) You are so cruel sometimes… you better stop. Syd is getting old, she might be married soon and have kids, we'll be grandparents
Jim- (moans) Don't talk about my Princess growing up
Lynda- (laughs, and kisses Jim) Goodnight Honey (turns off lights)
(The next day at the Hansen house. Around noon, it is a sunny Saturday)
Syd- (glaring at Robbie and Joanie) Will you two shut up?
Joanie- You
Robbie- Anyways (turns to Joanie) Give me back the cd
Joanie- NEVER (jumps over couch, and runs around neighborhood)
(the phone rings, Syd picks it up)
Syd- Hello-yes-sure-hold on- ROBBIE PHONE
Robbie-(jumps back over couch and talks into the phone) Hey-yeah-sure- why not- be right there
Joanie- Can I go?
Robbie- Joanie what the hell
Joanie- Some of your friends are my age and totally hot. C'mon
Robbie- Damn it, no
Joanie- (gives Robbie puppy dog eyes) Please?
Robbie- Fine. We're going to Slater Park
Joanie- I can handle the ride
Robbie- (to Syd) Tell Dad where we went
Syd- (sighs) Whatever (continues working in her book)
(Slater Park, about 11 kids are there excluding Robbie and Joanie)
Mike- Hey Joanie
Joanie- (flirtatiously) Hey Mike
Jenna- So Robbie what did your Dad do?
Robbie- Told me I was a bad boy or whatever
Chris- (laughs) My Dad would have said- "Get to your freaking room now you dirty piece of"
Robbie- Your old man is a work of art
Chris- You like his body
Robbie- Nasty
Mark- Robbie, Joanie, want a beer?
Robbie- Yeah
Joanie- (unsure) Okay
(Mark hands the two a beer)
(Around eleven at night, Robbie and Joanie still aren't home)
Jim- (pacing around living room) Where the hell are they?
Syd- I told you Slater Park
Jim- Why are they there?
Syd- Joanie is there because of the guys, and Robbie is there because of his friends
Jim- I swear to God, one day I'm going to hurt those two
Lynda- Jim calm down before you have a stroke
Jim- I AM CALM LYNDA
Lynda- Stop yelling!
Jim- I WASN'T YELLING UNTIL YOU MADE ME RAISE MY BLOOD PRESSURE FOUR- HUNDRED WHATEVER THE HELL THOSE THINGS ARE CALLED
Lynda- Stop it Jim
Jim- You think this is okay? Our children are probably in trouble
(the door swings open and Joanie and Robbie come staggering in)
Joanie- (has long wet streaks down cheek)
Robbie- (eyes are bloodshot, and smells of booze) Shit
Jim- Your drunk
Robbie- no way, no, no, I not drunk
Jim- Don't lie to me Robert
Robbie- Uh-oh your mad
Joanie- (is still crying, and runs upstairs)
Robbie- (goes after her) Don't worry Joanie, I kick his ass
(Lynda and Jim look at each other and run upstairs)
Jim- (grabs Robbie's arm) What is WRONG WITH YOU
Robbie- DON'T FLIP OUT AT ME
Jim- WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR SISTER
Robbie- Back off
Jim- Excuse me
Robbie- I said BACK OFF (goes running into room and slams the door shut. They can hear Led Zeppelin being blasted (a/n, I know that's from the 80's and this is the 90's but, I can picture Robbie listening to Led))
Jim- (goes to Robbie's door and pounds on door) Let me in Robert!
Robbie- GO AWAY
Jim- ROBERT
Robbie- I HATE YOU
Jim- (full of anger) FINE, THEN YOU CAN MOVE OUT! TOMORROW, YOUR OUT
(The three girls stop what their doing and just stand there and watch. Robbie's door slowly opens and Robbie has giant tears rolling down his cheek)
Robbie- (tries to stop tears from coming) I was- I was helping Joanie- but that doesn't matter to you, DOES IT?
(Jim opens mouth but nothing comes out)
Robbie- I knew it, I knew it, Ever since I was ten I knew you didn't love me. You only love Syd and Joanie…I'm sorry Dad, I can't be perfect! I can't be perfect! (goes running downstairs)
Lynda- (hits Jim) What the hell is the matter with you? (goes running downstairs screaming Robbie)
Jim- (stands there, with a blank expression, hating himself for what he just said to his son, tears are welling up in his eyes)
Syd- (walks over to her father and hugs him) Daddy, it's okay. You flipped, Robbie will be back tomorrow
Joanie- (glares at Jim and walks into her room slamming the door)
(Syd, Joanie, and Jim hear Robbie's car screeching out of the driveway down the road, and Lynda screaming for Robbie to come back)
Does it suck yet? I hope you guys like it, it's kind of fun to write. Well, please review. And AJ, "Nobody's Perfect" was awesome!
