Nick realizes his mistake and then tries to bring up something to end the argument, whileeating his toasted bread.
NICK

Felicia realizes that her husband’s planning to stop the argument, so she plays along by calling Rita and Lionel for breakfast.
FELICIA
(Smiling)

delicioustoast!
Rita replies to her mother’s call….
RITA (O.S.)
Ok mommy!!We’re coming right away.
Lionel and Rita come downstairs to link their parents on the table. They race to the table, Rita with her school back pack, when they reaches at the table they both kiss their mother at her cheeks and Nick is not fine with it because he also wants to be kissed on his cheeks. So he’s jealous.
NICK
Is she your only parent?
FELICIA
I thought they were my kids only.
NICK
And I thought you said that you
didn’tget yourself pregnant!
Rita is amazed with her father’s behaviours so she kisses him on the left cheek to end the argument.
RITA
(Smiling)
OH here you go!
NICK
(Smiling)
Thanks baby, that’s how, kids
should be with parents! And how
about you Lionel!
Nick points at Lionel.
LIONEL (O.S.)
What about me?
NICK
Won’t you kiss my black cheek?
LIONEL
I’m not gay dad!! And I’m allergic
to dirt!
Felicia and her kids are surprise with Nick’s behaviours. They all stare at him with funny face expressions to make him feel blown up.
NICK
What? What’s up with that look?
hello it’s a father son thing!!
Meaning it’s just me and Lionel,
no ladies included!!
Lionel, Rita and Felicia all talks at the same time with shaking their heads.
That’s inappropriate!!!!
Rita is rushing to live the dining room and go to school.
RITA
Oh I will be late I’m off to school.
Bye mom!
Rita runsout of the dining room, Nick finds it unfair because he is not given a farewell by Rita so he shouts at Rita!
NICK

Rita replies her dad while she’s running towards the main door.
RITA (O.S.)

Nick smiles.
NICK
Can I give you a ride to school?

RITA (O.S.)
No, thanks dad, I will just use
the school bus!
NICK
Ok then take care!
Nick and Felicia both smiles while looking at Lionel. Lionel finds it so weird; he doesn’tget what is going on, he looks puzzled so he shouts at them.
LIONEL
(Loudly)

NICK
No, it’s not that.... you are
going to a new school!
Lionel is surprised.
LIONEL

school in this town!
LIONEL

Lionel gets silent for a momentand stares at one point. After some seconds Felicia shouts at Lionel to get his attention.

Lionel starts walking with his father going outside the house. Felicia remembers her purse so she first gets it before they go.
FELICIA

upstairs.I will get you outside.
EXT.AT THEIR GATE-SAME TIME
Nick and Lionel are outside the gate, and the first thing they see is a sexy girl with a huge behind and huge boobs walking in the street in front of them. Nick and his son stare at the sexy girl who is walking past their home.
NICK
(Stammers)
D-d-damn!! She’s hot!
Nick is holding his son’s shoulder and talks to him while looking at the girl.
NICK
That’s some real shit son…
They both say out loud according to the girl’s walking style.
NICK and LIONEL
Heaven!! Earth!! Heaven!! Earth!!
Heaven!! Earth!! Heaven!! Earth!!
While Nick and Lionel are busy concentrating at the girl, Felicia is right behind them, watching out what they are doing without any of them noticing that Felicia is behind them. Nick’s instincts are telling him that someone is behind but he cannot prove it, so he looks behind, he sees his wife standing behind. Nick is shocked and all of his thoughts fade away. After all that Nick tries to fade the guilt away again.
NICK
Honey I forgot my car keys inside!
Felicia plays along with a fake smile on her face.
FELICIA
Yes you are free to go get them.
Felicia completes her words with a slap on Nick’s face. Nick runs to the other side of the car, when Lionel sees the incident, he steps back because he is afraid. The girl stops and watch what is going on, Felicia see her and goes to her furiously and provokes her.
FELICIA
(Loud)
You stupid idiot are you married?
The girl steps in front with confidence, holding her hand on her hip and talking with attitudes.

FELICIA

Felicia points at a house were a man is kneeling down begging for the wife not to go while she has her bags on her hands.
FELICIA
Now you want to destroy my family?
Felicia points at her house. The girl replies with an intention of making Felicia feel jealous.
