PTOLEMY I don’t know. I mean, I forgot what I was supposed to do. Reggie reaches out and touches Ptolemy’s grizzled chin with his fingers. REGGIE You need a shave ‘fore you go out in the world, Uncle. Ptolemy likes this idea. INT. PTOLEMY'S APARTMENT, LIVING ROOM - LATER Ptolemy is sitting on a backless stool with a sheet wrapped around him. Reggie is standing over his uncle using a barber- grade electric razor to trim his chin stubble. Ptolemy is enjoying the process but Reggie has to keep moving the old wandering man’s head to get the work done. REGGIE So do you think it would be okay for other people come by and see about you? PTOLEMY Oh yeah, sure, sure. The more the better. Ow! That hurt! Reggie pulls back and looks at his job. He takes the sheet from Ptolemy’s shoulders. REGGIE Looks like we done. How do you like it? Ptolemy runs a palm across his cheek. PTOLEMY Smooth. What we doin’ now? ...like I was sayin’, Uncle, Nina ain’t, um, so happy here and I been thinkin’ about takin’ her and the kids an’ movin’ down to San Diego. PTOLEMY Uh-huh, yeah. REGGIE
