BEN (CONT'D)<br />
(...)<br />
You’ll come on the weekends.<br />
(...)<br />
We should have an answer from<br />
those places soon.<br />
(...)<br />
Why not<br />
(...)<br />
Of course I trust you. But I want<br />
us to have options.<br />

The door suddenly opens and Kate and Joey come in. Joey<br />
runs into his bedroom, without even saying hello, clearly<br />

bedroom and shuts her door behind her.<br />
INT. ELLIOT AND KATE’S APT, KITCHEN - NIGHT<br />
A tense dinner at the Hull home tonight. The family is<br />
sitting around the table, their plates empty after<br />
dinner. Ben is the only one still eating. It’s only<br />

ELLIOT<br />
This is the last thing I expected<br />
from you, Joey. The last thing.<br />

high school, so the principal can<br />
call your mother. In the real<br />

KATE<br />
Ben, some more water<br />
Yes, please.<br />
BEN<br />
Kate serves Ben water, then herself. For a long moment,<br />
there’s silence at dinner. Ben is slowly eating his food,<br />
Joey plays with his fork, and Kate is observing Elliot,<br />
who listens to the caller on the other end of the line.<br />
