BLACK : PAN the BLACK BACK of a TV to find ME-MA , elderly, * lies in bed, “watching” a game show with Roscoe. We HEAR the * game show but don’t see it because no studio will give us the * right to use one of their shows in an old folks home. Jerks! * The Announcer Says: This 9th President barely served a month * in office before dying. * ROSCOE * William Henry Harrison. * Contestant Voice: William Henry Harrison. * ROSCOE * (CONT'D) Easy. * She MUTES the TV and turns to Me-Ma to playfully show off... * ROSCOE * (CONT'D) His grandson was Benjamin Harrison - * the 23rd president - his vice * president was Levi Morton, who * lived to be 96 and was the first * person to climb to the top of the * Statue of Liberty. * (to Me-Ma) * They don’t know all that, do they? * No response from Me-Ma. She’s not all there. * ROSCOE * (CONT'D) You voted for Harrison, didn’t you, * Me-Ma?... * (off Me-Ma’s silence) * I know, low blow, but you don’t * have to yell at me... * Roscoe’s phone chimes an email. She looks at it. Opens it up. * Scrolls. Reads. Her jaw drops a bit... * ROSCOE * (CONT'D) Oh shit. I gotta go! *
