MOM & SON ESQ. P.I. - "PILOT"
2.
TODD Thank you very much, you have been “assessed and photographed” for Aetna insurance, and this is your receipt. MRS. HOGENSON What’s going on? Are you a lawyer? TODD Uh no , private detective. Well, I was . Now I’m working for your health insurance, you are not wearing your knee braces, you’re not limping, but you’re still collecting disability from the car accident last year. MRS. HOGENSON (genuine) Wait, wait no. I really need that money. Don’t-- Please, I... TODD
I’m sorry! It’s just my job! I need money too! You can call Aetna at... Two YOUNG KIDS (clearly hers) pop up behind the counter. A THIRD CHILD sits back there holding a cracked iPad: CHILD IN DIRTY CLOTHES Mom, the cartoons stopped. Todd looks at the grimy kids, at the mom’s desperate face: she’s barely scraping by, has to bring her kids to work. Todd sighs deeply: she got him. He rolls his eyes, and gives in: TODD You got the braces with you? QUICK INSERTS: PHOTOS of the woman wearing both braces, and making faces of agonizing pain (read: Todd helped her out). INT. FANCY LAW FIRM - DAY MEANWHILE: JOAN (late 50s, coiffed) moves through a law firm, all business, sending texts to her husband, Harry: JOAN (TEXT MSGS ON PHONE) Are the movers being CAREFUL? Did they wrap the gray couch? Hello? Joan’s assistant FRANCEY (50s, crunchy, brash) approaches: FRANCEY
They’re in conference room B. The father is very crotchety today.
