The Kid & I Page #7

You're supposed to protect him.

Bonnie, calm down. You can't do this.

Yes I can.

Read the custody agreement.

She seemed pretty bent outta shape.

Who is she again?

Hey, listen, man,

I-I'm scared of my ex-wife, too.

Well. I'm not scared it's just that

well she might be right.

I- I... I don't think

we have much choice.

I guess this is it fellas.

I'll give Susan a call and let her know.

Okay.

We'll pack our stuff up

and hit the road.

Can I stay?

No, Guy, the show's over.

I'll get you the rest of your money.

Keep it.

No, I couldn't.

No. I already got more than I deserved.

Besides, there's more important

things in life than money.

I learned that from you guys.

Come on, Guy.

Well if I had a phone

I'd give you my number.

Thanks for everything.

Go away.

Well, uh, what do I do now?

Whatever you want.

No one's ever given me a check

for four hundred

forty-five thousand dollars before.

You earned it.

Yeah. I like to think so.

Does this include the eighteen dollars

you owe me for pizza?

I'm gonna miss you, Guy.

I'm gonna see ya around Bill, right?

Some day.

Susan Mandeville's next project...

is a huge action/adventure starring

Arielle Kebbel and Rosie O'Donnell.

My turn to drive?

Give me the page.

What you talkin' about?

It jumps from page 9 to page 11.

Where is page 10?

It's gotta be a typo.

Give me the damn page!

Okay.

And Aaron,

who's going to see this film?

Everyone.

My whole family, my friends,

and the basketball team from school

will fly out here

from Illinois to my party.

Why did you choose Bill Williams?

Because he's the funniest actor

ever except Adam Sandler.

And-and I love Bill Williams.

He's a good man, no matter

what everyone says about him.

I felt sorry for him.

Why?

Sometimes he's sad.

I think it's because

he doesn't have a family.

Are you having a good time

making this movie?

Man. This is the most fun

I've ever had in my whole life.

It's my dream come true.

I'm here to see your mom.

Mom!

If you give me five minutes of your

time and I'll be out of your life forever.

This is the most fun I've ever had

in my whole life.

It's my dream come true.

Girls, can you give us some privacy?

I need to talk to Bill.

Listen, Bill, I'm sorry about your movie.

It's not my movie, it's Aaron's movie.

I wanna show you something.

That's when he was one.

Tiny little bug.

That's still how I see my boy

so I protect him.

I understand, Bonnie,

you're a good mother.

But the thing youhave to understand

is next week Aaron goes back to school.

What happens when everyone

comes up to him and asks him

about the movie he was doing this summer?

'Cause you know Aaron.

He probably bragged a little

and invited people to the premier

and kids can be mean.

Listen, he's already helped the homeless,

he got drugs off the streets,

he saved the Shitzu.

All the crazy action stuff is over.

All that's left is one tiny,

harmless hot tub scene...

and the movie is complete

I know. I know to you it's a silly,

stupid scene.

But it's Aaron's dream.

And it's a silly, stupid dream

of every other seventeen year old

boy in America.

With what he's been through in life...

if his passion is to be an actor

and play the hero in a movie,

he should.

I love your son, too.

And I promise you he'll be safe.

No offense.

But this is a head with glasses.

Aaron's not a little boy anymore.

But he doesn't understand things.

Like what?

Like the difference

between fact and fiction.

But he does.

Please don't underestimate your son.

Did you know that

he's in love with Arielle?

Yes.

She'll break his heart.

Maybe. Probably

But that's part of growin' up.

It's part of life.

You and I know that.

Listen, you were right about me.

I took this job for the money.

But for some strange reason

I have to finish it for your son.

Bonnie, please?

But the script says

he's gonna be in the...

Forget the script. The script sucks.

I don't want my son swearing.

No, no swearing. No.

And he's too young for the...

No, he's a kid. Forget it.

You do allow him

in warm bubbly water, right?

Coach Dickerson!

Bring it in. Come on, bring it in.

Aren't you...?

I used to be. Didn't you used to be...

Still am.

Mom.

Why is Bill here?

Coach, can Aaron be excused

from practice for a few days?

Just a few. He's important to us, too.

Let's go mister.

You guys have a movie to finish.

Hell yes.

I mean-I mean heck yes.

I-I told you guys.

Let's roll.

It's just like you imagined, huh?

Are you ready

for your big scene partner?

Yeah... I guess.

What's wrong?

Would you get in the hot tub with us?

I'm a little nervous.

Don't be nervous. Okay?

But the kissing.

I've never kissed a girl.

You can do it. You're an actor.

It's like kissing your mom,

only longer.

Can you show me? Mom!

Can you show me?

Bill?

Hi.

It's okay, Bonnie, uh,

I'm sure you did a little acting

in grade school. Okay.

You kiss your mom like this.

Because it's your mom.

And you got a history.

You can take her

for granted a little bit.

You know what I mean?

But a girlfriend needs

constant reassurance.

So you carefully caress her face

and look into her eyes.

And you...

Yeah. Okay, let me show you

one more time. Okay?

Uh, mom.

Girlfriend.

Am I done?

Thanks, Mom, you did really good.

You did a great job.

Would you still please get

in the hot tub with us?

Please, Bill?

Help me up.

I don't like to take my shirt off in

frontof people because I'm a little fat

You can do it, Bill.

I'll help you.

It's easy Bill, you're an actor.

Oh boy.

All right.

All right! Whoo!

Okay, let's do it.

This is the very last scene in the movie

and I want this to be good, okay?

Okay, are we takin' it from where?

We're takin' it from the very top.

Okay.

Okay.

Gimme the phone.

Did she say action?

No! Hold on! Action!

To my partner.

The greatest spy that ever lived.

Mark.

Let's get the dialogue right this time.

All right, we're tryin' To my partner.

To... To my partner.

Quiet! Over there.

Yeah, what's up with you guys?

Well, once again you've saved the world.

To my partner.

The greatest spy that ever lived.

Hold on! We got a plane.

- Hey Penelope?

- What?

- Can Shaq delay his line a little bit?

- Quiet on the set.

Okay.

A-Dog.

A-Dog it's the president.

He would like to talk to you.

Really? You're not French.

That's a cut. Cut!

Quiet!

All right, you guys keep-keep going.

- Next time you keep on goin', all right?

- We got it.

- You just keep on going don't stop.

- We got it.

You're gettin' ready to talk

to the president

of the United States. Oh my God.

Listen...

Did you fart?

No, man. My butt wasn't...

Mark!

Are you ready to kiss her?

Yeah. When, now?

Yeah, you can kiss her.

Arielle, is it okay if he kisses you?

Yeah.

Bill's gonna talk you through it.

Like this.

Like I showed you with your mom.

Touch her face, look in her eyes.

Oh, yeah.

Did-did we get it once right?

Yeah.

I- I believe I got it.
