MOM & SON ESQ. P.I. - "PILOT"
6.
ALLISON She doesn’t want you “freeloading” off me and Chuck. TODD That’s why I’m paying rent! Or why I will. Next week. Half. A third. Now Allison’s phone rings: “MOM”. Allison answers: ALLISON Mom hello. JOAN (ON PHONE) Give the phone to your brother. Allison shoves the phone into Todd’s face: TODD NO! Allison! Say I’m not here! I uh hello, what. I am not speaking to you. INT. JOAN’S CAR - SUNSET Joan is headed home from work. She is lividly measured: JOAN You are coming to my new condo,
tonight. And you are picking up all the boxes of crap you left in your old room that I have now paid good money to haul across the city.
EXT. BACKYARD - SUNSET
TODD (angrily cheeky) Yeah, tonight’s not great actually. And, as you well know, I don’t have a lot of room over here. ALLISON You could jam stuff in our basement? JOAN (ON PHONE) No! NO! You are not turning her home into a dump like you did with mine. TODD I turned your home into a dump - with three boxes. JOAN (ON PHONE) It is FOUR boxes. And your sister and her husband have done enough for you!
