SCOTT THORSON:

You be quiet, son.

(then --)

No, Alice. Our Elizabeth. Our baby.

We need to go visit her in the

hospital. She needs us, just like when

she was a little girl. Let's think

about what she might want in her room.

We'll take it to her and put it next to

her bed.

ALICE:

But she's a queen. I have to look good

for a queen. Don't you want me to look

good?

Sid LAUGHS again.

SCOTT THORSON:

Shut up, Alice.

(then --)

Sorry, old gal. You go ahead and say

whatever you want.

ALICE:

I've never met a queen before.

When Sid snickers again, Scott Thorson approaches him and

glares.

SID:

I'm sorry, man. I was just laughing.

It's funny. I think she knows she's

being funny.

SCOTT THORSON:

I'm going to hit you.

Scott POPS HIS FIST into Sid's face. Sid FLIES BACK.

60 INT. MATT'S CAR - DAY 60

The car in motion, Matt glances in the rearview mirror.

MATT:

How's the eye?

In the backseat, Sid holds a package of FROZEN PEAS to his

puffy blue eye.

SID:

That was unreal. I mean, how often do

old people just haul off and f***ing

cold-cock you in the face?

MATT:

He's hit me a couple times over the

years. And watch your language.

ALEXANDRA:

Here, let me kiss it.

SID:

Ow!

MATT:

Hey, could you two just cool it around

me? You know, stop... touching each

other so much?

SID:

Whoa! Maybe that's why your wife

cheated on you, if you're so against

touching.

SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES, Matt turns around, points a menacing

finger. Even Alexandra realizes Sid went too far.

MATT:

You little f***. Do you get hit a lot?

SID:

I don't know. I've had my share.

MATT:

(to Alex)

Your friend is completely retarded.

You know that, right?

SID:

Hey, my little brother's retarded.

Don't use that word in a derogatory

fashion.

Matt looks at him. Given who Sid is, there's no reason to

think he wouldn't have a retarded brother.

MATT:

Oh.

SID:

Psych! I don't have a retarded

brother!

ALEXANDRA:

You suck, Sid.

SID:

Speaking of retarded, do you ever feel

bad for wishing a retarded person or an

old person would just hurry up?

Sometimes I wait for them to cross the

street, and I'm like, come on already!

But then I feel bad.

Rather than lashing out again at Sid, Matt turns around and

lowers his head into one hand, squeezing his temples. It's

all getting to be too much for him.

ALEXANDRA:

(noticing his anguish)

Dad?

MATT:

What?

ALEXANDRA:

Don't forget -- I know where he lives.

Matt thinks a moment, then --

MATT:

Get in the front seat.

64 EXT. DIAMOND HEAD ROAD - DAY 64

Matt's car passes by the well-known crowded surf-point

overlook.

MATT (O.S.)

Been doing any surfing over there on

the Big Island?

ALEXANDRA (O.S.)

I haven't surfed in years.

MATT (O.S.)

Yeah, how come? You were so good.

ALEXANDRA (O.S.)

At first I stopped because I got my

period and didn't know how to use a

tampon.

SID (O.S.)

Didn't want to attract sharks, huh?

ALEXANDRA (O.S.)

So I wouldn't go for, you know, five

days or so, and then I guess I just

stopped.

MATT (O.S.)

Why didn't you ask Mom to show you or

teach you or whatever?

65 EXT. KAHALA - DAY 65

The car continues on.

ALEXANDRA (O.S.)

I didn't even tell her I got my period

for like a year. She was always

pushing me to look older and act older,

so I just...

SID (O.S.)

Even I know how to use a tampon.

ALEXANDRA (O.S.)

The first time I got my period I

thought I sh*t my pants.
