| [Scene 1: Carlsson Residence, Kimberley’s room] (door opens, KIMBERLEY is fast asleep) DIANE: (wearing power suit) Kimberley, wake up! (walks briskly to the window and opens the curtains) KIMBERLEY: (light awakens her, she opens her eyes uncertainly) Mum? What’s the matter? (suddenly shocked) Is there a fire? Oh my God. (scrambles out of bed) DIANE: (meets KIMBERLEY) No, there is no fire like you proclaimed, it’s the morning. You know, the time of day where people wake up? (starts arranging pillows on KIMBERLEY’s bed) KIMBERLEY: Oh. (goes back to bed again) DIANE: Kimberley! (drags KIMBERLEY out of bed) Get out of bed now, it’s time for school. Time to walk around like the rest of us normal human beings do at the crack of dawn. KIMBERLEY: (feigns surprise) Mum? You’re running a fever, aren’t you? (touches DIANE’s forehead) DIANE: No, dear. (brushes away KIMBERLEY’s hand, arranging KIMBERLEY’s bedsheets) KIMBERLEY: Has my original mother been abducted by aliens since we moved to LA? As I recall, my own mother would not even stir from her bed even if wild animals threatened to drag her out. (turns to DIANE self-assuredly) I’m right, aren’t I? The cast of ‘Ace Ventura’ is downstairs waiting to welcome us? Excluding Jim Carrey of course. But he can be considered an animal in his own right… DIANE: Shut up, dear. (pushes KIMBERLEY towards bathroom) Go wash your face. Maybe it’ll help keep you quiet. [scene changes to: Watson Residence, Angelina’s room] SOPHIA: And brush your teeth! Angelina! Have you brushed your teeth? ANGELINA: Yes, Mum! (comes out of bathroom wearing blue robe) And I have cleansed my face, combed my hair, and scrubbed my butt clean while at it. SOPHIA: (amused) Don’t be rude. You know I’m concerned about your first day of junior year. I just want you to make a good impression on the teachers. ANGELINA: Mum, whatever impression I gave them last year, I’m pretty sure it’ll stick throughout this year too. (sits down on bed) Teenagers leave the same mark on adults. It’s a known fact. SOPHIA: Well, California State High does rotate its staff around quite often. Maybe you’ll get a new science teacher or something. ANGELINA: Is this the part where I’m supposed to jump up and down screaming (mock-excitement) “Yippee”? SOPHIA: Cut it out. Now get dressed and get your scrubbed butt downstairs for breakfast. (ruffles ANGELINA’s damp hair) ANGELINA: (amused, giggles) Yes madam! [scene changes to: Enriquez Residence, dining room] (RAUL is sitting at the dining table wearing a rainbow-coloured robe, reading a newspaper, STEVEN is playing with his cornflakes) RAUL: Jayci! Breakfast is ready! JAYCI: (comes downstairs, puts bag on chair) Hi, dad. (kisses RAUL on cheek) Hey, Stevie, cutie pie! (tickles STEVEN) STEVEN: Hi Jayci. Want my cornflakes? RAUL: Steven, don’t play with your food. And don’t address your sister by her first name. It’s disrespectful. JAYCI: It’s okay, dad. He’s growing. He’ll learn the difference between Puff Daddy and Will Smith someday. (grabs bread off table, takes 2 slices) RAUL: (puts down newspaper) Sweetie, aren’t you eating with us? JAYCI: (covering bread with chocolate spread on counter) Sorry dad, I’m kinda running late, and I promised Angelina I’d meet her early on the front steps of school. Scout’s Honour, you know. RAUL: (confused) When were you ever a Girl Scout? I thought only your sister Cynthia was one. JAYCI: Okay, Best Friends’ Honour, then. And may I add, Cynthia made a terrible Girl Scout. (bites into chocolate bread) CYNTHIA: (comes downstairs) I heard that! Dad, look! Jayci’s bad-mouthing me again. RAUL: (amused) But Jayci’s right, honey, you did make a terrible Girl Scout. Remember the time you didn’t sell a single box of cookies cause’ you scared all your customers away with your bad temper? (RAUL, JAYCI, & STEVEN laugh) CYNTHIA: Argh! You guys are impossible. (sits down at table) RAUL: Well, let’s get this sister rivalry done with, and have a nice breakfast together. CYNTHIA: It’s not gonna happen with her around. (pouring cornflakes into bowl) JAYCI: Just as well, I was about to leave anyway. I might lose my appetite with you around. Bye, (sarcastic) sis. (frowns at Cynthia, picks up bag) CYNTHIA: (sticks tongue out at JAYCI) JAYCI: Bye dad, bye Stevie. (walks to door) STEVEN: Bye Jayci. RAUL: Don’t call your sister that. (hurriedly picks up glass of milk, goes after JAYCI) Sweetie! You sure you don’t want a glass of milk first? JAYCI: (putting on shoes) No, I don’t think so, dad. RAUL: Well, then I insist. (hands glass of milk to JAYCI) JAYCI: Dad… (takes glass, drinks milk) RAUL: You got enough lunch money? JAYCI: Yes dad. [scene changes to: Carlsson Residence, living room] DIANE: You got all your books? KIMBERLEY: Yes mum. DIANE: Thank God you have no siblings, or I would probably be in rehab now. (puts on jacket for KIMBERLEY) KIMBERLEY: Mum, please. (puts on bag) DIANE: Ted! Give your daughter some encouargement. It’s her first day at a new school, and I want her to leave her mark. TED: (at dining table reading newspaper) What kind of mark were you planning on her to leave? Her footprints? DIANE: Oh, shut up. Can nothing good come out of your mouth? TED: (puts aside newspaper) Have a great first day at school, sweetheart. Good luck! KIMBERLEY: Thanks, dad. I’ll need it. DIANE: Nonsense. You’ll do fine, with or without luck. It’ll be all right. (ushers KIMBERLEY out of the door) [scene changes to: Watson Residence, outside front door] ANGELINA: (walking down pathway) SOPHIA: (at doorway) Angelina! Are you sure you’ll be all right, honey? ROBERT: She’ll be fine, Sophia. Stop worrying so much. She’s not even stressed. SOPHIA: That’s what I’m worried about. If she doesn’t worry, who is going to worry for her, you tell me? ANGELINA: (turns around) Mum! (stresses words) I’ll, be, fine. SOPHIA: Okay, honey. You don’t have to stress it. ANGELINA: (turns back around) Urgh. Bye Mum. Bye dad. SOPHIA & ROBERT: Bye honey. (pyramid showing KIMBERLEY, ANGELINA & JAYCI walking down respective pathways, deep in thought) {Well, if that was the morning, I wonder what school’s gonna be like.} |
