Last Days of Ptolemy Grey, The - pilot

11.

Ptolemy realizes that something is wrong with leaving a clock in the refrigerator and so he intensifies his search for the special glass . PTOLEMY

I know I put it here somewhere cause my favorite nephew needs a good glass.

Reggie puts the pitcher down on a small table and then reaches up to a high shelf that Ptolemy could never reach. He takes a glass from up there and brings it down. He places the glass and the alarm clock down on the table too. REGGIE

Keep this clock on your sleeping table and wind it every morning when you get up. PTOLEMY You put that glass up there, huh? It wasn’t me. REGGIE What about the clock? PTOLEMY Yeah. Sure. I’ont know how it got in there in the first place. Let’s go in the living room and sit down to drink.

Ptolemy leads the way out of the kitchen - leaving the alarm clock. Reggie shakes his head but smiles. He picks up the alarm clock and follows his ancient great granduncle.

INT. PTOLEMY'S APARTMENT, LIVING ROOM - A WHILE LATER Ptolemy is sitting in his lawn chair while Reggie has brought up a dark-wood dining room chair. The TV news-channel and classical radio station are still playing. Reggie is drinking from the tumbler of ice water. PTOLEMY ...I had a visitor just before you got here. I mean it was a long time ago but then you showed up. Reggie doesn’t like the idea of someone in his demented uncle’s home. REGGIE They came inside?
