INT. ROBBIE AND TINA'S HOUSE-NIGHT
ROBBIE sits at the kitchen table. An empty desert plate sits in front of him with just the crumbs from his apple pie desert left on the plate. He pokes at the crumbs with his fork as TINA looks on -amused.
Finally, Robbie looks up.
ROBBIE
Any more pie left?
TINA
(smiling)
Nope! It's all gone.
(beat)
You've had three pieces already.
ROBBIE
Oh. How about some coffee?
TINA
(laughing)
Robbie! You never have coffee after dinner! It makes you hyper! Keeps you up all night. Remember?
ROBBIE
Oh. Right.
TINA
Your stalling Robbie.
ROBBIE
No I'm not!
TINA
I'm onto you Robbie Hansen. Your' stalling because you don't want to your little talk with Pete!
ROBBIE
No I'm not!
Tina raises an eyebrow at him.
ROBBIE
(defensive)
I'm not!
From the bedroom, LUKE starts crying. Robbie jumps up.
ROBBIE
I'll get him!
TINA
NO! I'll get him. You go deal with Pete.
Tina hurries off.
Robbie gets up and reluctantly heads off to Pete's room.
INT. PETE'S BEDROOM
PETE is sitting at his desk working on his homework. ROBBIE knocks on the door.
PETE
Enter!
ROBBIE
Hey. What's up?
PETE
(still focused on his homework)
Just doing my homework.
ROBBIE
Oh! Well if you are busy, I can come back.
He starts to walk out but Pete turns around.
PETE
No, that's OK. What did you want?
ROBBIE
(nervous)
Nothing really. I just...wanted to talk. We haven't really talked in a while.
PETE
O...Kay!
Robbie sits down on the edge of Pete's bed and looks around nervously - wondering where to begin.
ROBBIE
So...How's Nikki?
PETE
Fine. I guess.
ROBBIE
You two seem to becoming really good friends...spending a lot of time with each other...
PETE
(wondering where this is going)
Yeah...and...
ROBBIE
And nothing. I...think it's great.
(quickly)
So, you kiss her yet?
PETE
(shocked)
What? NO!
Robbie looks relieved but then Pete remembers...
PETE
(smiling)
Well, actually, there was this one time...at the Spring Dance...
ROBBIE
(Panicked)
Oh god! You two have been at it since last spring?
(To himself)
Tina's right! I waited too long!
PETE
What are you babbling about?
Robbie tries to compose himself.
ROBBIE
Pete. We need to have a little talk. Man to man.
PETE
Robbie. Your creeping me out.
ROBBIE
Sorry. But it needs to be done. You and I need to have a talk...about sex.
Pete starts to laugh.
PETE
YOU'RE going to give me a sex talk?
ROBBIE
Don't laugh at me! I'm trying to be serious here! And besides...
(hanging his head)
...it's not nice!
Pete feels bad. He tries to stifle his laughter.
PETE
I'm sorry. Your're right. But really...you don't need to have a sex talk with me. I already know everything about sex.
ROBBIE
You...You do?
(paranoid)
HOW do you?
PETE
Well, you know what they say? Practice makes perfect!
Robbie's eyes grow wide with panic. Pete starts laughing again.
PETE
I'm kidding!
(Beat)
Robbie, I have cable!
ROBBIE
(relieved)
Oh. Right.
PETE
Really Robbie. You and Mom don't have to worry. I don't plan on having sex any time soon.
ROBBIE
Well...that's good. But, when you do...you know...you can come and talk to me...
PETE
Yeah, yeah. I know. Can we stop talking about this now?
ROBBIE
Absolutely!
Robbie stands up to leave.
ROBBIE
Well, I'm glad we had this little talk.
PETE
(laughing again)
No your not. You look like rather eat bees!
ROBBIE
(embarrassed)
Yeah. Right.
He walks out.
INT ROBBIE AND TINA'S KITCHEN - Continuous
Tina is finishing up the dinner dishes as Robbie hurries into the room. He starts pulling open drawers and pulling out papers-looking for something.
TINA
Robbie? What are you doing?
ROBBIE
I'm looking for last months cable invoice.
TINA
(curious)
Why?
ROBBIE
I need the phone number for the cable company. I'm going to call and cancel our cable tomorrow!
TINA
What? Why?
Robbie, rushing out of the room to look elsewhere...
ROBBIE
Because I am NOT going to be a grandfather before I am thirty!!!
Tina rushes after him...
TINA
WHAT!?!
