MOM & SON ESQ. P.I. - "PILOT"
45.
TODD I chose one very bad woman. But I am an adult! I can lead my life! JOAN Can you? Just then, they catch up to the TILE tracker outside a modest home - where MOVERS are loading up a large truck. JOAN It’s moving day. TODD No, Todd. No. No more lies. It feels - fraudulent. We will tell them who we are and what we need. The truth. Todd rolls his eyes, disappointed. They get out of the car. EXT. PORTLAND HEIGHTS HOUSE - DAY They approach, dodging boxes and MOVERS. And they find a MAN (40s) in the open garage, with his back to them, wearing a dramatic bejeweled CAPE (over normal, everyday clothes). JOAN Oh. Excuse me? Hello? Are you - are you “Newton the Magnificent”? The man turns: dorky and emotional, tears in his eyes: TOM NEWTON Yes? TODD You’re Newton? But - you’re dead. TOM NEWTON Yeah, into a yellow house in Gresham. OK, I’ll go in there, find this dead Magician, and - I’ll say we’re buyers. Interested in this house. Yeah. Then you come up, with like a limp, and-- JOAN
Oh, no, you must mean my Father, the original Newton. He - he passed - but I’m taking over the family business. TODD (quiet aside) There’s two Magicians! The dead one is dead and this one, Newton Jr., is moving to Gresham.
