The Kid & I Page #3

Here ya go, kid.

Thank you, Bill.

Hey, wait a minute.

What about our movie?

Sorry kid, but somebody played

a really cruel joke on us.

If it's joke, how come...

nobody's laughing?

Hello Bill. Glad to see you're

back from the great beyond.

Just Van Nuys.

Susan.

- Hi, good to see ya. Sure.

- Hi, thanks for coming.

Well... we've got our

work cut out for us.

Bill... I need a script. Three weeks.

Or less.

Okay.

She came on board

this morning. Surprised?

I'm stunned.

Well, I'm glad this all worked out.

So... Davis

was thinkin' that maybe the two...

of you could move

into our guest house...

so that you could be close to Aaron.

Oh, we couldn't do that.

I could.

Oh, I insist.

So do I.

Okay. Uh, we'll move in this weekend.

We could move in, uh...

now?

- Perfect.

- Perfect.

Does anybody have any scotch tape?

Gimme it.

Be very careful with that.

You may have noticed

Aaron has some special needs.

He weighed only

one pound when he was born and his,

doctor said he wouldn't live.

At best wouldn't walk or talk.

Well, he proved them all wrong.

He has cerebral palsy which is

a difficult condition to live with.

But his spirit and love

of life has carried us all through.

He's accomplished more

in his short life than I have in mine.

It's frustrating to me that the one

thing I wanna give my son is a cure.

But I can't.

He doesn't want that anyway.

His passion is to be an actor.

And I believe in him.

Do you think he can do it?

Yes. I believe in Aaron, too.

Thank you.

I do expect

his movie to be a good one.

How could it not be?

Good.

Hi!

Thanks for the beautiful sweat suit...

but I'm gonna run to

the store to get some real clothes.

- Oh, no, no, no, no. You stay...

- No?

Here and work on the script.

- Okay.

- We have people...

who can get you whatever you need.

Right.

I have to go to work, and so do you.

In fact, your assistant

has been up for three hours...

waiting by the pool.

Hey!

All right, I better get started.

Why didn't you wake me up?

Sorry, man. I got everything I need.

Thanks, Guy.

Anytime, Shelby.

Hey, Bill.

Hey.

Oh, my God!

Are you outta your mind?

Don't even look at her.

Davis'll cut your nuts off, man!

Don't worry, dude,

I never date married chicks.

But check out...

her friends, man, they're so hot.

I'm gonna fire you!

Let's get to work.

Let's talk about my movie.

Okay.

I wanna be called A-Dog because

that's what my friends call me.

A-Dog.

I wanna... parachute out

of an exploding jet.

Exploding jet.

Cruise around on a chopper.

Chopper.

And I wanna help homeless people.

Yeah, homeless.

And rescue animals.

Of course.

And I also want to beat up bad people.

Okay. Who are

the bad people you'd be beating up?

Drug dealers. Drugs are bad.

Drugs are bad, right Guy?

Guy-Guy... Guy!

Why did you hit Guy?

Because I was rehearsing a scene.

Would you like to rehearse a scene?

Go ahead, hit guy,

he used to be a soldier.

Like this?

No, no, no, no. Like that!

Like that!

No. More like that!

- Like that?

- No like that!

Like that?

Like that!

- Like that?

- No like that!

Like that?

Like that!

Like this?

Acting is fun, isn't it A-Dog?

Yes... acting is fun.

But I gotta go pee now. Bye-bye.

Bye A-Dog!

Bye!

Yeah hah-hah!

Man, that kid's got range.

Because of Aaron's age

and physical limitations,

we can only use him six hours a day.

Bunny.

I want you to stay close to him.

Make sure he does

not exhaust himself or get hurt.

Now Bill, who also

has numerous physical limitations,

will just have to do his own stunts.

Why are we doin' this project?

Because it's a challenge.

We've never done

an action adventure.

We don't even have a script yet.

Is it because you and Bill used to...

Bunny. Because it's a challenge.

And I like the kid.

What about a director?

Laura, would you check and see,

if Penelope Spheeris

is available for this?

I think she'd be great and I heard

we can get her for cheap.

Okay, this is brilliant.

This kid is like in a home

and I'm like his brother...

but I don't really know him,

so I go get him out and we go

on this cross country trip.

And we're savin' animals

and helpin' the homeless,

but he's a savant.

He's like a genius with numbers

and everything and...

Stop it.

So... we go to Vegas...

and he's countin' cards

and we win a lotta money...

and then we buy these matching suits

and we're on this escalator.

And he wants to drive...

and he's an excellent driver.

Wait a minute, that's Rainman.

You know what? This would go

a lot faster if you could type.

You think?

Yes. I know.

We need a secretary.

You are my secretary.

Hey, I thought I was your assistant.

You are my assistant.

You are my secretary.

You're my writer's assistant.

You are my driver.

You're my bodyguard.

You're everything. You get it?

Well dude,

that's a lotta responsibility.

I need a raise.

Hey guys,

wanna have some fun today?

Hell yeah!

You know what, son, we'd love to.

But guy and I have

a lot of work to do so...

we're gonna have to take a rain check.

Maybe we'll do somethin' later. Sorry.

Let's go for a ride.

I'll drive.

No I'll drive!

Okay.

Put your seatbelt on.

I don't need a seatbelt.

Put your seatbelt on.

I don't need it. You shut up.

I don't need a seatbelt.

We're on a golf cart.

Gate's not open.

Where's the seatbelt?

This is a great day for it, man.

You're lucky.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Hey... Hi...

Hi...

You're like the mayor

of this neighborhood man.

Yep, I know.

Yeah?

Which one do you like better

the blonde or brunette?

Uh, the blonde and the brunette.

Who are those jerks?

Lester and his friend.

He's trying to be funny.

Doesn't matter.

Hey Lester! Want some gum?

Go! Go!

Yeah! Yeah. We got 'em good, huh,

Bill? Yeah baby! Yeah!

Look out! Whoa!

Have you thought about

who you wanted in your movie?

Shaquille O'Neal, the basketball player.

Shaq? You want Shaq in your movie?

Yeah.

I imagine Shaq's pretty busy.

Is there anybody else?

Let's ask him.

Shaq, will you please be in my movie?

Why sure, A-Dog.

I have to go take my meds now.

Call me later.

Be careful.

Bill?

Not now, Guy, I'm writing.

Writing movies is fun.

Whoops, uh, I think I'm gonna

get another drink. Do ya want one?

Come in.

Hi. You wanted to see me?

I want to kiss a girl.

Okay.

I'll go down the street and talk...

to one of those cute ones

and see if I can work somethin' out.

No.

In the movie I want a girlfriend.

That's much easier.

Have you ever, uh,

have you ever had a girlfriend?

No. Not a real one.

Well those are the hardest kind.

Believe it or not I haven't had

a real girlfriend in many years,

and my life's

a lot better because of it.

I want my girlfriend to kiss me

in-in the hot tub like on MTV.

Okay. Hot tub. MTV.

You got anyone in mind?

Arielle Kebbel.

Whoa, see you've put

a lot of thought into this.

But what if we

can't get Arielle Kebbel.

Is there anyone else?

No one else. Maybe my dad can help.
