The Ultimate Legacy Page #3

Synopsis: An entitled young man with wanderlust must prove himself worthy of a new stipulation in his grandmother's will after her passing. The question before the law firm responsible for its execution is which will come first: the demise of the estate, or the realization of the heir that dealing with the past is the only path to true freedom?

reverent, trustworthy,

friendly, clean,

courteous, kind,

helpful, cheerful, and honor.

You a scout?

So, I literally have to

complete the 12-step program?

Look, we're all trying

to fulfill miss Sally's wish

to protect the legacy

of the Anderson house.

Legacy?

What does that word mean

to you?

I'm an only child,

and now they're all dead.

I'm happy to let the Anderson

house legacy die with them.

Is there something wrong

with your burgers?

Not at all,

but would you mind

boxing them up for us?

Sure thing.

Thank you.

I think you and I got off

on the wrong foot.

I want the original copy

of the will.

You already have it.

No, I'm talking

about the notebook.

What notebook?

Joey:

Miss Sally

never used computers.

And I seriously doubt

that she dictated

300 pages of legalese.

There's a notebook,

and I want it.

All right.

Yes, Mr. Anderson is requesting

miss Sally's original copy

of the will.

He believes it's in

a handwritten notebook.

Oh, really?

Well, we'll swing by

and pick it up.

Thanks.

Let's go.

Great.

You guys, uh, you hungry?

Thank you.

Of course.

Enjoy.

And by the way,

how much did you inherit?

$100 million.

Joey:

What did you do with it?

I gave it away.

All of it?

All of it.

Well, in that case,

thanks for lunch.

Why didn't you mention this

before I signed the contract?

It contains a clause

that states any heir who...

Who contests the will is

automatically disinherited.

Why didn't you mention this?

It wasn't a stipulation.

Something on your mind?

What I can't quite

figure out

is the connection

between my grandmother

and red Stevens.

I mean, something had to be

going on between those two

for them to be so close.

You think?

I mean, why else would she

impose the same rules on me

that your grandfather imposed

on you?

Maybe they had a thing

for each other.

What are you implying?

They must have been very,

very close.

But probably closer

behind closed doors.

What, are we walking

the rest of way?

Those two people were

God's gift to the world!

They did more than you could

ever hope to do.

Hey, hey, hey. Relax.

It's all good.

You got yours.

I get that.

I'm just trying to get mine.

You said you understood what

I was going through, right?

I didn't make that up!

You feel that, right there?

I can feel it.

Heart racing, temples bounding,

blood coursing through

your veins

so you feel like

you're about to explode.

You feel that?!

Are you done?

Try to imagine living

with that every day

while everyone who is supposed

to love you

wanders from one party

to the next...

And you might have

a shadow of a clue

of what I'm going through

and why I don't trust you...

Or anybody else.

You know, I'm thinking

if I complete this

12-step program

before the year's up,

can I leave early?

Let's just take it

a day at a time.

Oh. Here.

It's for the

memorial garden... only.

Don't get any bright ideas.

I'm full of bright

ideas, Mr. Stevens.

Excuse me? Uh, excuse me.

I already had these on hold.

You see the little red tags

right here? They're...

Kelly?

I, uh, didn't

fancy you a green thumb.

Oh, but you do fancy

me, then, huh?

Ha ha.

So, are you looking

to buy those?

Why, do you want 'em?

What, the trees?

What else?

You don't like me,

do you, Kelly?

Or should I say, miss James?

Do you care, Mr. Anderson?

You gonna buy those

or not?

Kelly:

Are we only communicating

in questions now or...?

You're different

off the clock.

Oh? Most people are.

Mr. world traveler.

Oh! That was good.

Ah, all right.

How about you take that one,

and I'll get the other one?

Oh, I get it.

You want the big one.

Yeah. Is that all right

with you?

Oh, no, that's fine.

I prefer the small feisty ones.

There you go.

Wait, there is one

Japanese maple too many here.

No, no, no.

Well, okay, these are the ones

that you ordered, uh?

And that one there,

that one's a gift.

A gift, huh?

Mm-hmm.

Well, that's very nice.

Thank you.

Reminds me

of miss Sally

when he sets his mind

to things.

Arrangements have to be

just so.

I wish he applied that

to his bedroom.

Indeed.

See, they say they know

carry on.

But when have they ever

known how

to help each other?

All our sisters and brothers

and when will we give up

the fight

it never was a fight

to hurt each other

all the sisters

and brothers

when you don't have

the words

Kelly:

To explain the hurt

Oscar!

You can lean on me

Oscar, come here!

Lean on me

lean on me

when you don't have a hold

you can lean on me

lean on me

lean on me

that's so good

lean on me

Oscar:

And for my sisters

to the left!

Kelly:

I won't stop trying

and I won't stop fighting

here's my shoulder

you can...

You can lean on me

when the bullets

start flying

- Thank you.

- lean on me

Kelly:

Lean on me

when you don't have a hold

you can lean on me

for my brothers

and for my sisters

here's my shoulder

you can lean on me

when does that kid eat?

He eats all the time,

solitary like.

I deliver his meals to his room.

Poor child can't cook,

unless you count

using this blender.

Mr. Anderson concocted

a green energy drink

of his own design.

It's pretty good actually.

Yes, quite.

Well, what's in it?

Kale, spinach,

dandelion leaves,

ginger, a banana, frozen

blueberries, strawberries,

an apple and...

A dash of cinnamon.

A dash of cinnamon.

How could I forget that?

It gives it a certain

je ne sais quoi.

I was just going

to say that...

If I knew what it meant.

Well, hey, let's try it.

Gahh!

Je ne sais quoi, huh?

I hope you like it,

grammy g.

Each time

is she gonna like it, buddy?

The river flows

she's gonna like it.

An eagle flies

a flower grows

I wanna love you

yeah, all right.

Wait, wait.

Can I take a look at that?

Here we go. See?

I told you he wasn't a vegan.

How do you know

someone is vegan?

Because they'll tell ya,

over and over.

Come on.

- Twenty. Good man.

- Jason:

Oscar.

Gus:

Don't you have a life?

Well, I have a wife

and a daughter I love very much,

and a multi-million-dollar

foundation

that provides me with

extraordinarily fulfilling work.

Don't you miss your freedom?

Well, I miss things

I used to have time for.

Like right now, for example,

I'd much rather be with her.

Well, I miss things

I used to have time for.

It's not like they can fire you.

Well, that's true.

What about the rest

of your family?

Where's your dad?

He was killed in

a plane crash when I was 12.

So, you raised

yourself too, huh?

Yeah, and my grandfather

wasn't too impressed, though.

Yeah, I gathered.

Here. Here it is.

Didn't need it.

Well, how did you...

Barter.

Each man got a free weekend

at Anderson house

with their families.

Did you run this by anybody?

No. Do you have

a problem with that?

I don't, but...

It'll be fine, then.

So, uh, how's the memorial

measure up to the fence

you built at Gus' ranch?

How do you know about that?

Let me finish running this
