(In the kitchen)
Lars: Ok you make 11,000 and I make 12,000
Reggie: What we have the same job
Lars: I know but even if it's unfair women normally make less then men even
at the same job
Reggie: That stinks, oh well so what bills did we get?
Lars: We have (He pulls out the fake bills that the teacher had given them)
Water, electric, Phone, plus AC
Reggie: So we pay them
Lars: First, we have to make out these fake checks
Reggie: I don't know how to do that?
Lars: I will (He rolls his eyes) balance the checks
Reggie: What!
Lars: (Throws her the balance book they had got) subtract the bills from
the amount we made and write it in there
Reggie: Ok (She fills it out they work in silence) done we have 900 left
Lars: Really! Ok well the assignment sheet thing said that we have to
spend at least 200 on entertainment of some sort. They have a list of
things, movies, TV, computers, dance clubs, fitness centers... (The list
continues)
Reggie: Uh...All the things I do are free
Lars: I'm sure what do you do
Reggie: Surf
Lars: We don't have boards, suits, or wax.
Reggie: We don't
Lars: Well we do but for the assignment we don't. Remember all we have are
essentials, in a one bedroom one bathroom beach house in Miami you choose
it
Reggie: Right so we buy boards
Lars: You sure
Reggie: Uhh...
Lars: If we buy boards all we have left for entertainment is (He looks at
the list of things that are to buy) 50 dollars
Reggie: Yeah I'm sure
Lars: Ok write it down in the book, now what about the rest
Reggie: You decide
Lars: How about I take you out to see a Musical plus dinner for to at a
nice Italian restaurant finally we end it with a nice moon light stroll on
the beach. (He looks at Reggie who has a dazed look and is almost drooling
with the thought) Its pretend wife
Reggie: Right I forgot (She blushes and starts working again) So we have
600 dollars left on whatever we want?
Lars: Yup but don't forget we have to eat if we die I don't think we'll get
and A
Reggie: (Laughs) ok so about 200 dollars to eat?
Lars: 200! No way my Mom pays at least 150 for 1 week and this is suppose
to represent the month
Reggie: You're 4 people and 2 of those people are growing boys we're only 2
people
Lars: But I'm still a growing boy
Reggie: What do you suggest then Mr. Growing Boy
Lars: Lets shop tomorrow then figure out what to do with the rest of the
money
Reggie: Deal but we still have to spent half an hour left
Lars: (Pulls out a paper and a pencil) I don't have homework but I think I
can last
Reggie well I do (She pulls out Animal Farm)
Lars: Awe the Russian revolution
Reggie: What?
Lars: Nevermind (He keeps working and she starts to read 15 minutes late
she glance up as Lars continues to scribble stuff)
Reggie: What are you doing?
Lars: Sketching see (he pushes the paper over)
Reggie: is this Twister? (She points Lars had made a funny cartoon of
Twister beefing it)
Lars: Yeah it's not very good
Reggie: No it's great (She looks into Lars' eye) Lars, you're really
talented
Lars: Thanks wife, Oh that reminds me thanks of before
Reggie: Before?
Lars: You defended me when Otto called me a Monkey. No ones ever done that
before
Reggie: No one?
Lars: Not really
Reggie: Well I was just uh...paying you back from yesterday; you know when
you helped me
Lars: Oh (He sounds disappointed) so we're even right, Wife?
Reggie: Right and stop call me that we aren't really married
Lars: You're kidding right
Reggie: Lars
Lars: Nope no way, wife
Reggie: Fine whatever (She starts to read again and he gets a new paper)
you knew my mom?
Lars: Of course, I did. Everyone did Reg
Reggie: Sometimes it feels like I didn't
Lars: Of course you did you just don't remember
Reggie: But you do
Lars: Yes I do (Reggie looks at him pleading) I don't remember a whole
bunch but I remember she had the brownest hair that never bleach in the sun
so it never seem to change it was amazing. Better then that was her eyes
they where the color of the ocean and they always reflected her mood when
she was happy they'd glow and when she was sad they looked like puppy's
eyes and when she was mad wait a minute she was never mad. I remember she
was a good listener because uh...
Reggie: What?
Lars: It's embarrassing
Reggie: Ok (She looks away he had describe so vividly it was like she was
standing in the room)
Lars: She never thought I was a monkey and she taught me how to surf
Reggie: Really!
Lars: Reg you were there
Reggie: Tito taught me how to surf
Lars: I know you wanted your Mom to teach you, but she said you had to wait
a year but a year was too long. Oh I'm sorry Reg I shouldn't have said
that
Reggie: No it was great (She forces a smile) I never knew all that Dad and
Tito wouldn't talk about her they think we're too young
Lars: That's not why
Reggie: it isn't?
Lars: No it's because it hurts Raymond-o to much to talk about her, they
were really close Reg. He's not trying to protect you he's trying to
protect himself
Reggie: (Starts pretending to read then says) you know what you're right
Lars: Of course I am look I have to meet the guys so I'll see you tomorrow
wife (He leaves handing her another paper on it is a sketch of her Mom; she
looks up and Lars it gone)
Lars: Ok you make 11,000 and I make 12,000
