(A frail looking old man, Oliver, is working on a contraption that resembles the bulky form of a boy made of metal. There are gears and cogs sticking out of its back and shoulders. He is wearing an odd looking contraption on his head that seems to focus his vision in one eye. )

ALLY
(Offscreen.)
Oliver? Are you still tinkering away in there?
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAtq9f3t0r
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNQO1FdLMQ
OLIVER
(Not looking up from his work.)
Yes. Yes I am.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1Ym0aI2DD
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWcpZkHd4a
ALLY
(Poking her head in the room.)
It's almost supper time. Wash up.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7eeDlcd6z
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjepIRL4dS
OLIVER
Just a moment more. It's a very intricate process.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56x3rZ9jAD
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAFraKdqnP
ALLY
(Walking fully into the room. It is easy to see she is very pregnant.)
What are you working on now?
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30kAK7bF9J
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkMQUN6DQE
OLIVER
I'm creating a playmate for our son.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuauLb3URw
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMqsCrcyTK
ALLY
A playmate? A live playmate?
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCu27idIwhY
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIg8XTSXwzR
OLIVER
That is the idea. It will be his playmate. And his protector.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtkwxibuCt
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI42vITs857
(Ally moves closer and starts examining the contraption.)
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmh2zODurx3
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjBEmtTVWp
ALLY
How is a contraption of steel and wires going to be a suitable playmate for our boy? Or girl.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqJhTWD2mR
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcFasZQvCt
OLIVER
Magic, my dear.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9f5QTqLq5
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vJP86ba34
ALLY
Magic. Of course.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOVdvKZ9pE
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGr1SEjSU7
OLIVER
You say Magic like it is a bad thing. It has brought much wealth into our lives, young lady.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GbLpGizbu
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VYGfvmqvc
ALLY
Oh I know. I was just kind of hoping that we could make our baby another little playmate a few months after he is born.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBJOCZKs47
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuYJQct9Pt
OLIVER
That is what I am doing here. This mystical playmate will be the best toy any boy could ask for.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZrV2WxC5A
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1WnpQ1SRr
ALLY
I wasn't talking about an iron playmate, Oliver. I was talking about a flesh and bone one. You know the kind that grows here in my belly?
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2fsPIanEO
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2pOLfswk3
OLIVER
(Looking surprised. )
Oh. I thought that our one time rendezvous was enough for you?
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxbJAW6DOF
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLA4ZdZJCda
ALLY
Why, Mr. Ruppel, I didn't think that you would mind doing what we did one more time in the name of making you an heir.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaZTDnAFm0
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTtKBgYyTO
OLIVER
Once you saw this body in the nude I knew you would come running back for more.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDzVztQLoC
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvNay75UP3
(Ally laughs and slaps Oliver in the shoulder.)
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnIpCuw9ZW
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOTNvi19jh
ALLY
You are terrible!
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiPGU8JQsZ
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8YqSo1YGj
OLIVER
I can't help it if women want to put their hands all over this soft, doughy body. What woman could resist?
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVA9AZXNkHv
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp8yN50a3h
ALLY
You are the worst, Oliver Ruppel.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdN7J6u1ns
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK29tJ6eVB
OLIVER
I do what I can.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QtSGsdnlM
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphT55P8jKS
ALLY
But I'm serious. I think we should have another child after this one.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBPpCzk2sp
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGsmjcKR38
OLIVER
You are being serious?
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6wJlyaj87
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r0cixXVCh
ALLY
I am. I think having two rug rats destroying everything in sight would be wonderful.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucOjkIor5q
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqGvFQmP2o
OLIVER
I'm not going to be around forever. So sooner rather than later you would be raising them alone.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFSayV7tuA
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzeWnpITyo
ALLY
You have been proclaiming that your time was almost up for the last ten years. You have a lot more time left than you proclaim.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6GSLGTr27
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEYoWAU8rE
OLIVER
Perhaps, my dear. Perhaps. What does Royce think of this?
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32bruAcf9D
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhK3sULgi0
ALLY
Royce understands our situation and he loves you just as much as I do.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QoWGPQ3dK
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRVREWnxHB
OLIVER
He will make a fine father for the children after I'm gone.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4nZ66jlO6
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vNH8A0r7H
ALLY
Like I said. You won't be gone for a long, long while. The children would get to know you as the kindest, most generous man they will have ever had the pleasure to meet. And Royce will be here every step of the way, so it will just fine if your ticker ever does stop ticking. You will outlive all of us by a decade anyways.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X7I32sDrm
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31sBLZ9eGQ
OLIVER
The only reason we were able to do what we did last time was because of the potion I brewed.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIwB5qU3AU
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8kPMVYqBq
ALLY
So when the time comes brew up another one.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWWkWrVmsx
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cKwrAvi7i
OLIVER
If only it were that easy. I have to order herbs from the capital. Snappleweed that is cut at the stroke of midnight on a new moon it calls for. And several more ingredients with just as ridiculous demands. And expensive? Oh my.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRiAX6Z4mQ
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckIoooCaWQ
ALLY
(Winking.)
Well you have four or five months to brew it up. And you will get to watch me bounce on you naked again.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgKlqNb6SS
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fVbTe7YgT
OLIVER
I guess I better put in an order with the couriers then.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUMxUqhFlf
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdHMb9Bix6
ALLY
Yes you should.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHlLFutBM7
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3MOEtvSa6
(Royce enters the room. He is wearing a white apron.)
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPN3tyijN9
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeoviODZqR
ROYCE
Glory be. What's taking you two so long? The trout I caught this morning are waiting on the table.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpx7SOSz1U
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimdMGguzJy
ALLY
Well I told him to wash up and he is too busy tinkering on this contraption.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIugivKcjw
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyIcNfUEH6
OLIVER
Contraption? This is no mere contraption! This is a mys...
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwv7KKcOvB
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PG9ySwNyp
ALLY
(Cutting Oliver off mid sentence.)
Now don't go getting into that again. Come wash up and eat supper!
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWX0NLkbJJn
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUm2GH3DEz
(The old man puts down his tools and slips off his headgear.)
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZXDEASzaj
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuZvLtnQlL
OLIVER
Why didn't you just say trout was for dinner? I would have been out this door in a flash. I swear you don't know me at all, Ms. Friel.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwslSZKylnU
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqjXxaIJBr
(INT: OLIVER'S DINING ROOM. Oliver is at the dining room table writing a letter while Ally, Royce and several of the servants are dancing while a makeshift band plays. Everyone in the room looks like they are having a fabulous time. It is obvious this happens often. )
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ijZDYclTx
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2R8VubuD9p
ALLY
(Yelling from the background while laughing.)
Oliver! It's Friday! Come dance with us!
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxkcCBxP6O
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrMgOxKliC
OLIVER
(Not looking up from his writing.)
Perhaps soon. I have some business to attend to first.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLa4j7EX4N
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6m1FoViXyX
ALLY
We've been taking care of business all week! Now it's time to kick your heels up! You know the rules!
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYZhsoRUOt
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gTkyxo1Yb
OLIVER
You'll be the death of me!
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2h0G69Gz6
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjSuEQd7io
(Oliver stands up and immediately starts to do a jig. Many of the servant women and Ally take turns passing him from one dance partner to another. After the song is over he is winded and sits down. Everyone in the room applauds loudly. A young and very pretty girl, Tabitha, makes her way over to Oliver with a glass of lemonade. She doesn't look any older than eleven. )
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW9ZuyOG85
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvuqQBvZfa
TABITHA
Here you are, Mr. Ruppel.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz8cXT0GS9
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRytprpFMNT
(Oliver takes the glass and takes a long gulp. He motions for Tabitha to take a seat next to him in a wooden chair. She pulls up the chair and sits.)
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG56DKmUAYr
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OrP6x4Jpr
OLIVER
Ahhhh. Thank you, young lady. This is fine lemonade. Did you make it?
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7y7V1pTCqG
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zn2p0V3Er
TABITHA
(Beaming with pride.)
Yes, sir. Royce taught me how to mix the juice with the right amount of sugar and water last week. The secret is a pinch of ginger he says.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZPbJkAZvv
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpidYsnPjm3
OLIVER
Well he did a fine job of teaching you.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycfCPFwzkX
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBr944p3Ha
TABITHA
Thank you, sir.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFGxxEs812
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraSpL82zPs
OLIVER
So how have things been going for you here, Tabitha? You've been here nearly a month now. Are you enjoying your time?
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMegVWdlui
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsGXSkXsTm
TABITHA
Yes, sir. Very much. It's hard work in the barn and store rooms, but everyone is very nice. You and Ms. Friel especially.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNuE2MqdmV
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUViA4bR0jx
OLIVER
It is hard work indeed, but Ms. Friel tells me you are doing an excellent job.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLo5Tyb1a2c
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsvSKRIR1L
TABITHA
Thank you, sir.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqVOl5tsii
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCme4ovj6k
OLIVER
Ally told me that there was a bit of trouble the other day with Worthington?
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6TkaCeB3v
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMiQ06RQJD
(The girl's expression darkens and she looks over her shoulder at Worthington, a greasy looking cowboy who is sitting next to the fireplace watching the girls dance. He has a smirk on his face.)
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WdQCJTuFh
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlwgHEr7Wa
TABITHA
Um, no, sir. It was just a misunderstanding. I don't want any trouble. I like my job.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNU0zRcpvFM
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLvcIufaxm
(Tabitha keeps glancing quick looks at Worthington. It is clear that she is terrified of him.)
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zimYYagtb
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcawsA4Gjf
OLIVER
There is no trouble, young lady. But I can see he makes you uncomfortable.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsERPaYeAa0
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cixO3m4sK
TABITHA
No, sir. I... I... I really like working here. Sometimes he just sits too close is all. And one that one time he pawed at me. All men do it. It's nothing.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2eH99UTgL
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D0DmnQ7QC
OLIVER
Maybe it is. Maybe it isn't.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ft9p7DLRO
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJz7dTU6BU
TABITHA
Please, Mr. Rupple, I don't wanna make no waves. He's my superior.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjSACBYmKi
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAavFwwxtIQ
(Oliver takes another drink of the lemonade.)
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9BOYCWJb8
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL7OYNhxvc
OLIVER
He most certainly is not your superior. My word. This is the finest lemonade I've had in an age. Did you enjoy making it?
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DPwkbn8N8
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnmMEroz6H
TABITHA
Oh, yes sir. Royce has been letting me watch him cook sometimes when my shift is over. A few times he reads me the recipes.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnZnhjKJfM
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7J7z8OFwY
OLIVER
He reads you the recipes?
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBCkWQfhnd
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XBd7VHc9E
TABITHA
Yes, sir. I can't make the letters into words.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1NaNQJxZf
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nIcd1unYS
OLIVER
You can't read?
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQC7iYaYew
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyqQJJycC3
TABITHA
No, sir. My father said I had no need for it.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoGdkynFwM
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLoctPl6Wq
OLIVER
Well that won't do.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSqndQzTfK
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD7YZamtel
TABITHA
I've always made due, sir.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69PhWlPdc0
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHWoixSWfT
OLIVER
Well you won't be able to make due without it much longer. You have a new position that will require you to be able to make words as soon as possible.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwDykXvUDs
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqpUnXlHct
TABITHA
Sir? I don't understand. Am I being let go?
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2Qv5dyfA9
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRsmLv9AyM
OLIVER
(Holding up his lemonade glass.)
Heavens no you aren't being sacked. I am so impressed with this lemonade that i am assigning you a new position.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzaUugMq06
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsTKEsa6Vf
TABITHA
A new position?
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvd2COP1M4
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxt2yw3Dfm
OLIVER
A new position. Monday morning you will report to the kitchens. You will work for Royce from now on.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTU7Sv6tbc
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DfuRdBd2A
TABITHA
No more barn?
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgogeeWQkTx
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqreIYT9Vb
OLIVER
No more barn.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G2AplbmKH
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXE43bFPdpf
TABITHA
But I don't know how to read the recipes.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvA0xbAqvj
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxGofVogz0
OLIVER
That is an easy remedy. You will report to my understudy, Landon, for thirty minutes a night after your shift. He will teach you the letters and how to make words from them. Until then you will be a prep cook for Royce. Cutting vegetables, meat, and whatever else he tells you to do. And we will be hiking your pay as well. It won't be much more, but it's a start.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuY0xcITM2
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVGBzF4Fkf
(The girl beams from ear to ear. Oliver finishes the lemonade.)
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGmbyB81om
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrpkbjqcsQ
TABITHA
Mr. Ruppel I don't know how to thank you.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyfCnJPb1o
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zLJDW4o0E
OLIVER
No thanks is necessary. But another glass of this lemonade would be just fine.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm3HhSrTzl
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8ODxjdprX
(The girl nods, grabs the glass and races away to fetch him some more lemonade. Oliver looks at Worthington. He still has that same greasy smirk on his face. He sees Oliver staring at him. He smiles and nods. Oliver nods back, but doesn't return his smile. Oliver motions to another servant to come over. He writes on the paper for a moment more and then hands the sheet to the servant. )
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvioVjn0c3
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVYeBvhckv
OLIVER
If you would be so kind to take this list to Landon. It is ingredients I will be requiring from the capital.
