MOM & SON ESQ. P.I. - "PILOT"
29.
TODD You work - for my Mother? SUSAN
I work with her. Wow, I haven’t seen you since we broke - since we, I - ended things. Maybe that’s why she didn’t... Um. But, nice to - see you. TODD (points to ring) You’re engaged. SUSAN Oh. Yes. Last month, actually. We just bought a house. But uh, how are you? TODD Not engaged. Haven’t bought a house. SUSAN
I have to tell you, your mother is such a wonderful woman. She has been so encouraging and supportive... TODD Hmm. OK. Todd spies Lyle in the background - and hatches a plan: TODD A FEW MINUTES LATER: Todd watches from afar as Susan approaches Lyle (in Todd’s stead). While he waits, Todd settles into a (divided) waiting area. And he overhears a (mostly) hushed argument: ELEANOR (O.S.) Niki, the courts put her into our care. In our home. Changing her house arrest would be very complicated. NIKI (O.S.) Say... Would you be willing to do my Mom a favor? You’re an employee here. See, there’s this house. In Gresham...
(furious) She should be with me! She says YOU cry and HE’S yelling ALL DAY! WALTER (O.S.) Who the hell do you think you are? KIM (O.S.) Can everyone please stop fighting?
