INVENTING THE ABBOTTS - Rev. 2/16/96 48.
77 CONTINUED: 77
LLOYD (CONT'D)
Bryn Mawr. I should be able to
remember that. It costs enough.
HELEN
She'll do well there -- a very
bright girl.
LLOYD
And Doug -- he's going to...?
HELEN
He got a scholarship to the
University of Pennsylvania -scenic
design -- theater.
LLOYD
Same school as...
Jacey.
HELEN
(filling in blank)
LLOYD
Right. Well. Congratulations.
HELEN
Thank you, Lloyd.
They pass each other and head their separate ways. Their
chance meeting has not gone unobserved:
Joan Abbott has been watching them from the front seat of
Lloyd's brand-new 1959 Cadillac. She pretends to repair
her lipstick with her compact mirror as Lloyd slips
behind the wheel.
And Helen finds Jacey frowning at her. He opens the door
so that she can get into the Plymouth (Doug is already in
the back seat). Jacey glares at Lloyd as he walks around
the car and gets in behind the wheel.
Lloyd flips down his sun visor (to block Jacey's glare)
and pulls out of his parking spot.
78 INT. IRON SKILLET RESTAURANT - THAT NIGHT 78
A waitress walks across the busy diner to Helen, Jacey,
and Doug at their table. Helen and Doug are eating
their desserts -- Jacey is content to brood over his
cup of coffee. The waitress puts their bill on the
table and steps away.
