Act 1, Scene 2
(At the movie theater)
Josh:What movie do you want to see?
Nicole:I don't care, really.
Drake: How about we see Rainbows and Flying Ponies?
Nicole:I'm twelve, not three.
(Helen walkes past and sees Josh)
Helen:Oh, Josh I'm glad you're here! I need you to work today.
Josh:I can't. I'm here with my little cousin.
Helen:Oh! Well, I'm sure Drake can take her off your hands for a couple of hours.Right Drake?
(Josh gives Drake a warning look that plainly said' don't do it' )
Drake:Of course I can !
(Josh pulls Drake to the side )
Josh:Drake, you can't take care of Nicole! You'll have to stay at the movie theater all day. Nicole can't stay here by herself with me working today!
Drake:I can take care of her! We can't stay at the theater today, I have some important things to do at home!
Josh: Then take Nicole home and do whatever you need to do. Cook lunch, and bond with her.
Drake: I can't cook! Or bond!
Josh: Don't worry, just give her a notebook or a puzzle and she'll be fine.
Helen:Josh, I need you now!
Josh:Good luck!
(Both Josh and Helen walk off)
Drake:C'mon, let's go.
Nicole:I thought the whole point of going to the movies was seeing a movie?
Drake:Plans have changed.
Nicole:Ok, what are we doing now?
Drake: Josh has to work, so we're going home and having lunch, and doing something.
Nicole: Cool with me.
