(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?
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrEgVpxjb3
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCeAkmOsk0
OLIVER
(Not looking up from his work.)
Yes. Yes I am.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid9NxxMsG0
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpbHZMnugJ
ALLY
(Poking her head in the room.)
It's almost supper time. Wash up.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMBdqPbvJk
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuu4PcRuDWd
OLIVER
Just a moment more. It's a very intricate process.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbflfavGv5
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwpoXnxDEa
ALLY
(Walking fully into the room. It is easy to see she is very pregnant.)
What are you working on now?
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoEabEb0I2
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6HkUGtPNi
OLIVER
I'm creating a playmate for our son.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Esn8Q3yfI
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjYxbnLj6u
ALLY
A playmate? A live playmate?
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61GiXnBgyz
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfHN5tkFfw
OLIVER
That is the idea. It will be his playmate. And his protector.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyShvVykQp
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcEgVEXKl5
(Ally moves closer and starts examining the contraption.)
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3M0TADPSkC
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8o8VZW4V8t
ALLY
How is a contraption of steel and wires going to be a suitable playmate for our boy? Or girl.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5y1FraP40
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYJBVESNWE
OLIVER
Magic, my dear.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4krnUKW3Bq
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1FBmx9rmB
ALLY
Magic. Of course.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3L4Xj6eUF
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv3ebyg0WR
OLIVER
You say Magic like it is a bad thing. It has brought much wealth into our lives, young lady.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YZJjOxjp0
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZDdnoQYuP
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.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1afKsFbbS
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZe0LczBkxh
OLIVER
That is what I am doing here. This mystical playmate will be the best toy any boy could ask for.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVriHyP8KgD
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RPKhZkKT6
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?
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqVcG7JOcH
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt01cxnwCH
OLIVER
(Looking surprised. )
Oh. I thought that our one time rendezvous was enough for you?
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHuPKyMsv1
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBSlShrHL2
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.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoKaxOk4be
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj6zJvOUcp
OLIVER
Once you saw this body in the nude I knew you would come running back for more.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfQJoWAC4T
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NEavH0hoX
(Ally laughs and slaps Oliver in the shoulder.)
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtk4jYAmmr9
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5D7pqmVQS
ALLY
You are terrible!
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD0XioO2l7
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCIOkxwOpf
OLIVER
I can't help it if women want to put their hands all over this soft, doughy body. What woman could resist?
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4xsyelNid
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmV6c99kn0x
ALLY
You are the worst, Oliver Ruppel.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2shu9e4poU
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBRWIalsRc
OLIVER
I do what I can.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwy0skvabG
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9QdVijeYc
ALLY
But I'm serious. I think we should have another child after this one.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DLZUpx7Ij
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡix3fSw7dfH
OLIVER
You are being serious?
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5Ld5xC22X
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CJpwp9Dbq
ALLY
I am. I think having two rug rats destroying everything in sight would be wonderful.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdzU3ekkJm
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgol8hOFXxD
OLIVER
I'm not going to be around forever. So sooner rather than later you would be raising them alone.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9iukM0bsa
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbDNEpeY5n
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.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJx2eN3ix2
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbBpKuhs9F
OLIVER
Perhaps, my dear. Perhaps. What does Royce think of this?
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcofF8CKXp
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRF16o7aNJg
ALLY
Royce understands our situation and he loves you just as much as I do.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2rTwQ1dGH
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPL3dUGPFx
OLIVER
He will make a fine father for the children after I'm gone.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZago0b7h7u
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQ8n3TqHFU
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.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuMxQw3L4v
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvRdAowpFA
OLIVER
The only reason we were able to do what we did last time was because of the potion I brewed.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd21fIJtuQp
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DysGlIy4M
ALLY
So when the time comes brew up another one.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9bWioX7NF
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0vP46yFQC
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.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRC98gIIVFf
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dxIBdGSjV
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.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCudtBurWnf
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEA46Ri2Ms
OLIVER
I guess I better put in an order with the couriers then.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NWiF0f7D0
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ818FvT8PZ8
ALLY
Yes you should.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXEelDbHEx
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQp6Ayk8I3u
(Royce enters the room. He is wearing a white apron.)
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYcHsYkSep
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbmAHPAHxM
ROYCE
Glory be. What's taking you two so long? The trout I caught this morning are waiting on the table.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXykkgfm3U
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoaX3m98vK
ALLY
Well I told him to wash up and he is too busy tinkering on this contraption.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jx1Z8GPsG
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOTIYSBPN7
OLIVER
Contraption? This is no mere contraption! This is a mys...
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7J4Sddeaa
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fpmkaUVkt
ALLY
(Cutting Oliver off mid sentence.)
Now don't go getting into that again. Come wash up and eat supper!
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44MuOJOIAL
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wFP7GCdM8
(The old man puts down his tools and slips off his headgear.)
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WyesAOY2c
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUujs8L12f
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.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDZ1JUapsx
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhKCJNYEPC
(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. )
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qIqg996kt
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHEOpOEDP8
ALLY
(Yelling from the background while laughing.)
Oliver! It's Friday! Come dance with us!
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFloob3krIC
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgZfxVSg1E
OLIVER
(Not looking up from his writing.)
Perhaps soon. I have some business to attend to first.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsMnabTQV7
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBqAZ7qT9J
ALLY
We've been taking care of business all week! Now it's time to kick your heels up! You know the rules!
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWOlJ7RIQo
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXs96VkL2y
OLIVER
You'll be the death of me!
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcL060xfqN
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ3Jiyh7ob
(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. )
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFtH2DOWKG
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLzyE36FzY
TABITHA
Here you are, Mr. Ruppel.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSz9VUxtVt
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCs7Hzngqy
(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.)
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWof5Nfb7k
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjb9Om7Vwg
OLIVER
Ahhhh. Thank you, young lady. This is fine lemonade. Did you make it?
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2bqxUVVwR
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsuLIt7wuQ
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.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqQd1kS5Pl
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0Y476Y2lU
OLIVER
Well he did a fine job of teaching you.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq012JS5OGk
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWyodK7kSe
TABITHA
Thank you, sir.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6eaB76DYl
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0sWXqjKg3
OLIVER
So how have things been going for you here, Tabitha? You've been here nearly a month now. Are you enjoying your time?
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTwbDvBhBV
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTdLIXOLsG
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.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWqym4aEny
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY8BUMJaCq
OLIVER
It is hard work indeed, but Ms. Friel tells me you are doing an excellent job.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOaWqFhp18
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdXBEWOPXu
TABITHA
Thank you, sir.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kIeLxfz0H
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb4YRfkRQp
OLIVER
Ally told me that there was a bit of trouble the other day with Worthington?
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTF8RQ6kCgv
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgnjRT9hj4
(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.)
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdpenFXQHS
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aQAkP5w4g
TABITHA
Um, no, sir. It was just a misunderstanding. I don't want any trouble. I like my job.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMn3lEtzAl
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrIUL1Cabh
(Tabitha keeps glancing quick looks at Worthington. It is clear that she is terrified of him.)
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJM2OodeOp
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTy7EJXioUy
OLIVER
There is no trouble, young lady. But I can see he makes you uncomfortable.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkhAPbqwHo
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2CfZs5hZU
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.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLesBZGoEMD
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38kcVdq9Hf
OLIVER
Maybe it is. Maybe it isn't.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AOoyUolSV
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgMecxEMEY
TABITHA
Please, Mr. Rupple, I don't wanna make no waves. He's my superior.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVkD7CiGe2
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaHJIBfhdt
(Oliver takes another drink of the lemonade.)
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TyKtGSbsi
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxoJVkhKvN
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?
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWMFDHzEEI
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHYXl3xQul
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.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0B4sGLpJl
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmkLDJzGQU
OLIVER
He reads you the recipes?
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWcYxIWc25
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAfPck2937
TABITHA
Yes, sir. I can't make the letters into words.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnK7wqP7jV
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbxQPg3yBS
OLIVER
You can't read?
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9DIoJsKWt
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxXyBviTRL
TABITHA
No, sir. My father said I had no need for it.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPK4B6aNOHM
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjB4Uix7f8
OLIVER
Well that won't do.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7GxkrAX9H
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2f6ypx97q
TABITHA
I've always made due, sir.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrVKtYgh0b
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ylJ2nwbeM
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.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MjQnU5Ooz
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NCXSUayPe
TABITHA
Sir? I don't understand. Am I being let go?
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMfh9pa2TB
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEB5LHUI17
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.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAiqZHrx2W
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWaRajJ5g4
TABITHA
A new position?
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYx0rYn66r
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi48QCTEgX
OLIVER
A new position. Monday morning you will report to the kitchens. You will work for Royce from now on.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeS6ehIEODt
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5SqE8JFwW
TABITHA
No more barn?
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRMvlof9WR
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfcxUlQPYL
OLIVER
No more barn.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCShN1YTTpB
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3VKKrLKcW
TABITHA
But I don't know how to read the recipes.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHopjAUxu7U
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYxniJHzkN
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.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY53YuEFLL
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDzzOZvZEZ
(The girl beams from ear to ear. Oliver finishes the lemonade.)
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWcjjHoQZ9
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWX96tgX4aU
TABITHA
Mr. Ruppel I don't know how to thank you.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IsGbP0cyH
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSYTCKaB94
OLIVER
No thanks is necessary. But another glass of this lemonade would be just fine.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloIKPqnrm5
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfxvIJN9mu
(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. )
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7fB0wWkXO
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfAvjYvhmb
OLIVER
If you would be so kind to take this list to Landon. It is ingredients I will be requiring from the capital.
