INT. RUNDOWN SHACK. DAY.<br />

MAXXAM paces back and forth in the small space.<br />

MAXXAM<br />

(Murmurs)<br />

Hurry it up, Xandrell.<br />

159<br />

DISSOLVE TO:<br />

There is a knock on the door. MAXXAM looks startled and then<br />

hurries to open the door.<br />

MAXXAM<br />

What took you so long?<br />

XANDRELL (Late 20’s) brushes past MAXXAM.<br />

XANDRELL<br />

I told you I needed to pick<br />

something up on the way.<br />

MAXXAM<br />

And it took you five hours-<br />

MAXXAM pauses and stares at the CHILD (Early teens) he has<br />

just noticed beside XANDRELL.<br />

MAXXAM<br />

You brought a child with you? Here?<br />

Here! Of all the places-<br />

XANDRELL<br />

Maxxam, calm down. He is my<br />

sister’s child and an extremely<br />

good problem solver.<br />

MAXXAM<br />

He is a child.<br />

The CHILD scowls at MAXXAM.<br />

CHILD<br />

Stop calling me a child! I probably<br />

got more brains than if there was<br />

two <strong>of</strong> you combined.<br />

XANDRELL<br />

(Frowning)<br />

Quiet, Zane.
