Hall Pass By Pete Jones September 7, 2005EXT. SCHOOL -- DAY RICK walks hand in hand with his three-year-old daughter EMMA toward the preschool. RICK MILLS, 35, chunky, balding on top, hairy everywhere else, OLD NAVY, uncomfortable. Rick punches in the security code to the gate and the door opens to a courtyard where all of the moms wait for the kids. Rick, distracted by all of the smiling moms, swings the gate closed behind him before little Emma completely enters. The swinging gate knocks Emma on the ground and she screams. RICK Oh Baby I'm sorry. Rick picks her up and hugs her. RICK (CONT'D) Daddy is so sorry. The gate just closed on you. Rick points to the gate. RICK (CONT'D) Bad gate! Emma stops crying and points to the gate. EMMA, Bad gate! The kids fly out of the classroom. KERRY, 5, runs to Rick. KERRY Daddy! Daddy! Rick hugs her and puts her down. Kerry excitedly hands her picture to Rick. Rick unfolds it and he and Emma look at the drawing. EMMA. That's our house. Emma points to the house in the drawing. EMMA (CONT'D) That's me. Emma points to a little stick figure girl with long hair and tiny features. EMMA (CONT'D) And I'm holding Kerry's hand. A taller stick figure girl with longer hair.EMMA (CONT'D) And Kerry's holding Mommy's hand. An even taller stick figure girl with a pretty dress and beautiful long hair. EMMA (CONT'D) And that's you Daddy. A fat, bald stick figured man whose prickly haired hands are bigger than the heads of the other three. RICK This sure is a keeper. Rick grabs the girls’ hands and they walk out of the courtyard. KERRY Where's Mommy? RICK Working. KERRY Is she working all weekend? RICK Yep. KERRY Aw. Rick buckles the kids into the car. INT.
