Straight A's Page #2

Synopsis: Years ago, Scott left common lover Katherine at the altar to become a hedonistic junkie. She married his brother William, a successful Louisiana workaholic, who sired a daughter but probably not bright nerd son Charles and is serially adulterous on his many business trips. Now Scott returns on horseback, having lost his drivers permit, inviting himself and proving a popular, yet unreliable uncle for Charles. Making up with father is impossible due to Alzheimer. As Scott keeps surprising his family, his sad secret emerges.

Awesome.

We'll give him

five more minutes.

Kids, I don't want you to get

too attached to your uncle.

He's got a lot

of problems.

Maybe we can help him.

I think he's funny.

Where does he live?

I don't know.

Is he married?

I doubt it.

Does he have any kids?

Oh, God, I hope not.

Where does he work

? I'm sure he doesn't.

Where does

he get money?

That's probably

why he's here.

How come he gets

to have a horse?

Why were

you lovers?

Eat.

[blues music]

[knocking]

(Charles)

Uncle Scott?

Uncle Scott?

I'm f***ing starving.

Why do you have

a horse?

This guy of Memphis owed me some money.

I took the horse instead.

Worked out well, 'cause

I got a couple of DUIs,

and I can't operate

anything with a key.

Good thing

we lock our doors.

Where is everybody?

In bed.

That's the plate

Charles' made for you,

and exquisite is the dinner he refused to eat

'cause he was waiting for his Uncle Scott.

Sh*t.

I got in the f***ing tub, and

the next thing you know--

I think it's time

for you to leave.

I missed dinner.

Big f***ing deal. I mean, I

didn't know there were rules.

Oh, there are rules.

You can come back on Thursday

when William returns.

I said I'm sorry.

It won't happen again.

I'm not the one you need

to apologize to.

I don't know about that. I'm sure I

owe you a couple from somewhere.

We haven't seen or heard from you since

you made that scene at the wedding.

You show up, you call

me a bad mother.

My son a homosexual, or at

the very least strange,

and your horse is ruining

my f***ing flowers.

Wait a minute.

First of all, I never

called you a bad mother.

Ana' I'm sorry

about the wedding.

I probably shouldn't

have been there,

but you all probably

shouldn't have invited me.

You were the best man.

Was I?

Did you smoke

this part of the story?

You left me. I left

Texas, not you.

You were the one

who chose to stay.

I sent you a ticket.

You've hurt everyone who's

ever cared about you,

and I can't let you do the

same thing to my children.

I will make it up to Charles.

I promise you.

(woman)

Scott?

Mom?

Now, you really think

that's a good idea?

[whispering]

You promised

I'm just

A rambling man

I roam from .0

Town to town .0

[Too Young continues]

[Gracie chanting]

Morning,

morning, morning.

(Katherine) Gracie, shh.

Mama's on the phone.

Good morning, Uncle Scott. Yeah.

You missed

spaghetti.

I fell asleep

in the tub.

It's dangerous. I wear

floaties in the tub.

Morning, sis.

Morning, bro.

What up, Charlie?

Dude, I rode about 400 miles

on a horse yesterday.

I was dead tired.

I'm sorry.

I was really looking forward to our first

family meal with you all, and playing games.

He fell asleep

in the tub.

Yeah.

I believe it's time for schoo,.

You ready, Louisa?

All right, great.

Just f***ing ignore me.

Kids!

Louisa!

They left already.

Oh.

Okay, well, I'm

running late, so.

Louisa will be back. Just

don '2' touch anything.

Hey, what did

Willie say?

No smoking in the house,

including marijuana, no Vicodin.

No drugs

in my house.

Yes, ma'am.

[Joe Purdy

singing Big Top]

The center of the table, please.

[music continues]

Oh, sh*t!

What are you doing?

What's your

favorite cartwheel?

I don't really

have one.

Well, do you like

grapefruit juice?

Yeah.

I really screwed up

with Charles, didn't I?

Do you think

he'll forgive me?

It's your time.

Okay.

(woman) Gentlemen,

it's a pleasure.

I'm lead counsel for the private

interest who controls the /ease

on the riverfront

property.

Dana!

Billy?

Yeah.

Hey.

How are you doing?

Great.

Great to see you.

You, too. I didn't know

you were on this project.

Yeah.

Thank you,

Miss Earling.

That was quite

exceptional.

Next up, Mr. Henderson

on the subject of the Aztecs.

You ready?

Yes, sir.

Well then,

let's hear if.

[laughter]

Quiet, people!

Go ahead, Charles.

[school bell rings]

Those of you who didn't

get to speak today,

will be unrehearsed for Friday.

I hope you are prepared.

I like butterflies,

and I like bees,

and I like,

of course I like pets.

Gracie, hold on.

I like guinea pigs and I like

birds, and I like bears.

How about a hairdo?

Uh, not too tight.

So, you've done this before, Gracie.

Right?

Never. Not even on my dolls.

What kind of haircut

do you want?

Do you want it casual?

Do you want it fancy?

Oh, man. This perfume's

really-- it's hard on the eyes.

Now what happens?

Ow!

Sorry.

Do you see any blood back there?

No, you're fine.

I'll show you.

Come here.

[humming]

No laughing.

So, how

am I looking?

Ready for school.

Unbelievable.

I can't say that I'm surprised.

That is who she is.

Ever since Josh got his inheritance,

she is a different person.

Hi, everyone. Oh, Katherine,

what a great event.

Oh, I've booked our tickets for

the 4th of July. So excited.

I've rented this most

amazing house in Seaside.

I'm surprising

William and the kids.

I mean, you all should come.

That sounds wonderful.

I'll see you in a bit.

See you later.

What is going on? Sue said,

Elena said, Angie said

some man came out of

your house this morning,

and asked her son

for a cigarette.

Are you having

an affair?

It's okay if you are, but why

are we the last to know?

No, no, it's William's brother.

[gasps] You're having

an affair with Scott?

No, he's here

to see William.

William is never--

[clears throat]

He's not home.

Cool if I sit down?

What are you

doing here?

You're going

to get me in trouble.

All right.

Well,

how about this,

if I hide?

Who's that?

Amanda Hyde. Why?

I think

she's into you.

Question is,

are you into her?

Hey, it's totally

okay if you're not.

I am, but I think

you're crazy.

She hates me. They

all make fun of me.

That's

f***ed up.

Okay, how

about this?

I'll go over there, and get Miss

Hyde to come and say hello.

Then you and I are square. Deal?

Do-don't.

That's some

good ass juice.

You can't get juice

like that on the outside.

I'm just screwing with you. You

can get juice on the outside.

Not that I've ever been inside of prison.

I've been in jail.

Don't freak out, dude.

I got his-- I got

everybody in line.

And this one's

for you, darling.

See that little girl

at the end of the line

with the pink ribbon

and pony tail?

You get her

whatever she wants

Tell her it's on Charles Henderson,

and you keep the change.

How are you related to my dad?

Thank you.

Oh, boy, here comes Dr. Carr.

He hates me.

Why? Because I

cracked at him once.

Hi, what's up?

What is your name?

Scott Henderson.

Charles, do you know this man?

He's my uncle.

And you two

beautiful ladies are--

Miss Carol. Nice to meet you.

And this is Miss Dougan.

Join us!

Juice?

Excuse me, but you have

to have a visitor's badge

in order to eat lunch

with a student.

I do. And where is

your visitor's badge?

I lost it.

Where did you

lose it?

Don't know.

If I did, it wouldn't

be classified as lost.

Who did you
