MOM & SON ESQ. P.I. - "PILOT"
52.
(IN COURT: SHAKY VIDEO FOOTAGE PLAYS: MOSTLY ROUTINE PARKING LOT TEDIUM. BUT JOAN IS WIDE-EYED, LISTENING TO TODD.) Harry turns, and his face drops. Todd smiles: TODD Hey, whaddaya know? Iceland is on my bucket list too. Todd jumps to the aisle seat across from Harry, and sneers: TODD You’re not dying. HARRY
(stammers) I, I never meant to hurt her, Todd. She doesn’t need to know about any of this... TODD You stupid coward, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? HARRY I am leaving your mother. TODD Yeah, way ahead of you. HARRY I am leaving the whole world behind. My doctors, they told me I have - I only have 7 to 10 years left to live. TODD 7 TO 10 YEARS? HARRY
But I don’t want to live it with your Mother. I can’t take it anymore. She’s too controlling. She would never let me be who I want to be! I don’t care about status and money like she does. I’m going off the grid. When I found out how long I had left - I knew this was the only way. It’s the only way... Todd is oddly sympathetic and furiously mad at the same time. INT. COURTROOM - MORNING Joan’s face reacts: sad, angry, ashamed, chastened.
