27.

Reggie takes off his big army jacket and wraps it around Ptolemy’s shoulders. Feeling the heat immediately Ptolemy giggles. PTOLEMY (CONT'D) It’s warm. REGGIE So you want me to take you to that special doctor? While luxuriating in Reggie’s warm jacket Ptolemy is trying to remember, to understand what his nephew is asking. PTOLEMY Maybe some angel’s food cake? Reggie loves his Uncle. REGGIE And Coydog would he’p us. And Sensia would cook ‘em on the wood stove down at Zenobia’s. Reggie pats his uncle on the shoulder and they move on down the aisle. INT. PTOLEMY'S APARTMENT, LIVING ROOM - LATER Back at their chairs before the TV/radio/phonograph console, listening to the news and some other classical masterpiece, Reggie is concentrating on Ptolemy while Ptolemy is studying some abstract concept in space. REGGIE Papa Grey... Papa Grey. PTOLEMY Yeah? REGGIE You remember when you would to take me out to the stream they used to have out around Venice? We’d catch crawdads there and come home to eat ‘em over white rice. PTOLEMY

Would you mind if other people came and took care of you now and then? PTOLEMY You mean if they came with you?
