FADE IN:
INT. HOUSE - DINING ROOM - DAY
DANNY ASHFORD, 15, sits at a table with earbuds in his ears.
Music seeps out of the earbuds.
TED ASHFORD, 34, puts down his coffee mug and looks at his
cellphone. Ted smiles and squints at Danny.
Danny looks at his cellphone and frowns. He pulls out an
earbud and the music level drops.
TED
With the way you listen to that
thing I'm surprised you haven't
gone deaf yet.
Huh?
DANNY
Ted sighs.
TED
Where's Brandon? He's not usually
this late.
KNOCK. KNOCK. KNOCK.
INT. HOUSE - KITCHEN - DAY
Ted approaches a patio door and slides it open. BRANDON
CLAYWORTH, 15, adjusts his glasses.
BRANDON
(British accent)
Hello!
Brandon smiles gives Ted a slight wave.
BRANDON (CONTD)
Morning Mister Ashford. It's me,
Brandon Clayworth. Danny and I go
to school together. Remember? I'm
the foreign exchange student.
Ted pinches the bridge of his nose.
TED
Yeah, Brandon I remember. Come in.
Danny brushes past Ted.
2.
DANNY
Sorry, dad. Gotta get going. See
ya later.
EXT. HOUSE - YARD - DAY
Danny walks in front of Brandon.
BRANDON
Wow. I have never seen you this
excited to get to school before.
Danny glances back at the house.
I'm not.
DANNY
3.
BRANDON
Number one, it's 'do not.'
Repetitive 'don'ts' in a sentence
is just redundant. Number two, of
course we have 'ditching' in
Britain, but with your grammar Id
say you could do with a bit more
school.
DANNY
Not with an incomplete Biology
project.
BRANDON
Please tell me you are talking
about another Biology project of
which was assigned to you
individually and has nothing to do
with our project.
Danny shrugs and walks towards the house. Brandon groans.
Americans.
BRANDON (CONTD)
4.
Ted enters with MISS BRAMWELL, 33, and shuts the front door.
He smiles at her.
INT. HOUSE - HALLWAY - DAY
Danny and Brandon freeze at the top of the stairs.
BRANDON
It must be your dad. But if were
lucky it could just be burglars.
Danny ignores him and ducks down beside the banister.
INT. HOUSE - DAY
Ted and Miss Bramwell kiss against a wall.
TED
So much for waiting for me to pick
you up.
MISS BRAMWELL
I was already in my car just
outside of work when you called.
TED
Mmm. Lucky I live so close by.
Ted kisses Miss Bramwell and locks his arms around her waist.
The two fumble their way up the staircase.
INT. HOUSE - HALLWAY - DAY
Brandon frowns.
BRANDON
Isn't that Miss Bramwell? Our
Biology teacher?
Danny grabs Brandon's elbow and pulls him towards a bedroom
door. Ted and Miss Bramwell reach the top of the stairs.
INT. HOUSE - BEDROOM - DAY
Danny opens a closet door. The two slip inside and close the
door behind them. Ted and Miss Bramwell enter the bedroom.
5.
INT. HOUSE - BEDROOM - CLOSET - DAY
Brandon turns on the closet light.
BRANDON
Right, so what were you saying
about nothing would go wrong with
us ditching?
Shhh.
DANNY
6.
TED (CONTD)
Oh, Theresa.
DANNY
Oh my god. What in the world is she
doing here?
BRANDON
Looks like she's snogging your dad.
Danny squints and punches Brandon's arm.
Hey!
BRANDON (CONTD)
DANNY
Could see that. I mean what is she
doing here in my house with my dad?
BRANDON
Well, your dad is a very attractive
older-man.
Danny punches Brandon.
Ow!
BRANDON (CONTD)
Brandon rubs his arm. Danny puts his ear to the door.
BRANDON (CONTD)
How long do you think they've been
together?
Danny shrugs.
BRANDON (CONTD)
Do you think they'll take awhile?
Really got to go to the bathroom.
DANNY
Shhh. I cant hear much anymore.
RING. RING. RING. Danny rolls his eyes. Brandon slips his
book bag off of his shoulder and shuts off his cellphone. He
looks at Danny.
BRANDON
Do you think they heard that?
Ted opens the closet door.
DANNY
Yeah, I think they heard it.
7.
Miss Bramwell appears behind Ted. Brandon awkwardly laughs.
BRANDON
Well, this is embarrassing.
TED
You're suppose to be in school.
Danny points to Miss Bramwell.
So is she.
DANNY
8.
Miss Bramwell gasps.
Brandon!
