Change of Plans Page #4

So you're saying

I should put my game face on.

Yeah, yeah, that and do that

little "Sally thing" that you do, eh?

Okay. Hang on.

Hello? Oh, no, is she okay?

Yeah, no, I'm on my way.

I'm on my way. Thanks. Okay.

- Hey, hey, Sally?

- Gotta go. Bye, Klay.

Sally, where are you going?

Oh, oh. I'm sorry, excuse me,

could you tell me where the nurse's office is?

Thank you very much.

- Excuse me, I'm Sally Danville. I...

- Yes.

- What happened?

- Oh, it's all right, Mrs. Danville.

- Yeah? Yeah, okay.

- She's fine. It's just an earache.

- What do I do?

- Some warm water,

a couple of these drops every four hours.

She should be better in the morning, I'm sure.

Just a little bit of this...

Okay.

Want a little "tell me something"?

Okay.

I'm sorry.

- Hey, what's going on down here?

- I'm sorry, Auntie Sally.

It's okay.

I was not paying attention.

Can you forgive me?

- Yeah.

- I'll speak to him.

- No, Jordan, can you just let me this time...

- No, it should be me.

No, my drums, my house, my turn.

Please?

I guess you like music, huh?

- In my country, we have music every day.

- Wow, that's fun.

I'm sorry I did that.

Dude, it's fine.

You know what? Curiosity is good.

Never lose it.

Let's just not worry about this, okay?

How would you like to jam with my band?

- Can I really?

- Yeah.

I think I can arrange it, yeah.

I'm very ashamed.

I told you, it's not a big deal, seriously.

I'm not ashamed about these drums.

I'm ashamed about what I said to my sister.

Look, sit down.

Listen, Kaleb, I know

you weren't trying to hurt Sung Lee.

You were just telling her the truth.

Telling the truth is a really hard thing to say.

Actually, it takes a lot of courage,

which must mean you're pretty brave.

It's nothing to be ashamed of, right?

All right?

- Auntie Sally?

- Yeah?

I love living here with you and Major Jason.

Hi, beautiful girl.

Sorry I'm late.

I ran into Bobby Everby at the base.

Remember him from the squadron?

Used to drive NASCAR

before he joined the service.

- So you were at the base?

- Yeah.

Met with General Lindford,

but I'll tell you about that later.

- How was your day?

- Wonderful.

- No. Not wonderful.

- Oh, it sounds complicated.

Yeah, it would have been simpler

if you were here.

All right, what happened?

Details don't matter, really,

just kids are getting attached,

and the time, responsibility and our old lives,

we're just not gonna really get them back

until we do something about it.

Did you talk to Dorothy? And?

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Well?

Well, well.

I don't know, I just feel weird about it.

Yeah.

I mean, you're right, it's the right thing to do,

- and they're great people...

- Wonderful people.

The best.

So, what do you think?

What's not to like?

- Would we still get to see them?

- That's not a problem,

- just needs to be convenient.

- Right.

So I will expedite the paperwork

and Kaleb and Sung Lee

can probably move in this weekend.

- Excuse me?

- Say that again.

Oh, no, don't worry.

I have a very good family

willing to meet with Javier and Jordan.

They're not right in town...

Wait, wait a minute.

You're going to split them up?

I explained that it's difficult to find a family

that's willing to take all four...

Wait a second. This just can't happen.

They need to go to the same...

They need to go to the same family.

Mrs. Danville,

you were the one on the phone to me

about the children becoming attached

and how it was too painful

- for you to deal with it...

- Look, I need this to happen the right way,

and I just don't have time for this, I just don't.

- Sal.

- No, look, Jason,

I have an opportunity to go on tour.

Do you know what that could mean?

Why didn't you tell me?

Cause everything is out of control.

You know, our lives,

I'd really like them back

the way they used to be, you know?

- Sally and I need to talk about this.

- I can see that.

- What is this about a tour?

- Klay's got something lined up for me.

Oh.

- Don't act so excited for me.

- It's not that.

- It's...

- What is it?

It's just...

I told you I met with General Lindford.

Yeah, no, I'm sorry. I was a little out of it.

He wants me to fly again.

I thought you said you'd never fly again.

I can't turn this one down,

it's like a dream come true.

Great.

So what you're saying is

that one of us needs to stay home

- with these kids until...

- I'm not saying that.

I'm just trying to put everything on the table.

Uh-huh, on the table, right.

So both of us can see that your

practical opportunity beats my artsy...

Hey, come on, that's not what I'm saying.

I mean...

- What are you saying?

- Well... Let's... What...

In terms of dollars, that's true. It's true.

What if there's a remote possibility

that I can actually make it?

Have you thought of that,

maybe I can actually make it?

- Let's not get crazy here.

- For everything that I have done?

No, I'm not getting crazy here.

Listen, I'm just trying to figure out

how I'm supposed to live

with a husband that I love,

this career that I have passion for

and now these four kids that,

quite frankly, I feel responsible for.

I just... Look...

- I love you.

- I love you.

- It's pronounced "Ugunda."

- Oh, Ugunda. Good to know.

I doubt I'll make it there anytime soon.

You should try.

It's the most beautiful country in Africa.

- Sounds like you miss it, huh?

- I miss my friends.

You know what? I have good news for you.

Wow, look at this place.

Who drives these cars? Students?

What kind of car is that?

Pick it up, Jefferson.

Coach Tamblyn!

This is Javier Solarte.

Ah!

If it isn't the man with the golden boot.

Javier, good to meet you, son.

- I'm Tamblyn, I'm the football coach here.

- I'm honored to meet you, sir.

So, you played a bit of football, huh,

someplace else?

Yes, sir. I like football.

Like it, don't like it, I don't really care,

all I'm interested in is are you any good at it?

Wychowski! Danny!

Throw this man the ball.

Let's see what he can do with it.

He's a football player.

Go for it.

Kind of European, but we can work with it.

He's got potential.

Where are you from?

What's he doing?

Lighten up, son.

- Kid's a loser, Coach.

- Javier!

Back to work!

- You tricked me!

- I was doing you a favor.

That? That was no favor.

That was to make me a fool!

But you know what? I have been around!

I have been on the street!

I am no fool.

I knew that ball was not a soccer ball.

Javier, trust me, you showed them

and they were impressed!

They laughed!

That's just guys, that's what they do.

Hey, I'm sorry

if you thought that I tricked you.

Look at me. Hey, Javier, look at me.

I would never do that.

Never, okay? Okay?

Come on, let's get out of here.

Hey, Jordan!

Hello.

Hey, where's Javier?

Gone out with some girl with blue hair,

but said he'd be home for dinner.

Oh, this is Noah.

Noah Roorda. Hey, Mrs. Danville.

How's it going?

Pretty well, Noah. Nice to meet you.
