(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?
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyV46yIsqng
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqGgEDeP6N
OLIVER
(Not looking up from his work.)
Yes. Yes I am.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4iLCiX9it
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvGBBWOcrn
ALLY
(Poking her head in the room.)
It's almost supper time. Wash up.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9KoGgrISv
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKZeEsFFbT
OLIVER
Just a moment more. It's a very intricate process.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltIWYKhNGK
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dTvz9DQEw
ALLY
(Walking fully into the room. It is easy to see she is very pregnant.)
What are you working on now?
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrCrVnZcSP
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0xQjqMI5z
OLIVER
I'm creating a playmate for our son.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xts9YAKA3
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RiP5LxXTg
ALLY
A playmate? A live playmate?
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGkWipMlwV
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb84v1yv8S
OLIVER
That is the idea. It will be his playmate. And his protector.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatgPq504e5
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5JeqEa1jK
(Ally moves closer and starts examining the contraption.)
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0iGVTnigs
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3r7Dj3UBO
ALLY
How is a contraption of steel and wires going to be a suitable playmate for our boy? Or girl.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEw7fiech3
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetSBr1i36H
OLIVER
Magic, my dear.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujvPuk1A5f
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kweKmaGBK
ALLY
Magic. Of course.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx9iFENhIa
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdDz4uLJ2l
OLIVER
You say Magic like it is a bad thing. It has brought much wealth into our lives, young lady.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHlfnJFPQf
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcpbz0xWYf
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.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWEh4EJXuM
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z17Dkz5Q1
OLIVER
That is what I am doing here. This mystical playmate will be the best toy any boy could ask for.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOWGM3MEKj
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJECp5KqPW
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?
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGX6Lu7btDi
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRUcVHYCBj
OLIVER
(Looking surprised. )
Oh. I thought that our one time rendezvous was enough for you?
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6eikVkTlB
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DQ7u2vzrB
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.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEj5WiscW7v
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpPg2MpyHV
OLIVER
Once you saw this body in the nude I knew you would come running back for more.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Osbw1Ius7
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBesDqJavB
(Ally laughs and slaps Oliver in the shoulder.)
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdIYmxE1Yl
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLADwwjGToJ
ALLY
You are terrible!
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVic0vNInd
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRCTb7b62s
OLIVER
I can't help it if women want to put their hands all over this soft, doughy body. What woman could resist?
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbyk1P6FYQ
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX8PcpxnKs
ALLY
You are the worst, Oliver Ruppel.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTs3dc20lVZ
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ3SD1LQ3L
OLIVER
I do what I can.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAamDrp5aKK
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjF8UMiKR7
ALLY
But I'm serious. I think we should have another child after this one.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHNTGMBg1r
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8Rf83cFwx
OLIVER
You are being serious?
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6HUhkQM2c
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqkC3mj7F9
ALLY
I am. I think having two rug rats destroying everything in sight would be wonderful.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnu1GKPl1y0
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVtRY2Jeoa
OLIVER
I'm not going to be around forever. So sooner rather than later you would be raising them alone.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRcLilSTnk
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4ghg1Nd8H
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.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPOAY4amzv
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbX0G9er7s
OLIVER
Perhaps, my dear. Perhaps. What does Royce think of this?
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAesDufzCnx
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcSZruvQE2
ALLY
Royce understands our situation and he loves you just as much as I do.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1moozjy96
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYNKj277nn
OLIVER
He will make a fine father for the children after I'm gone.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ5juLvH2b
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErGxjEEZMH
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.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto3w3zB0lo
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdqhMOM8G6
OLIVER
The only reason we were able to do what we did last time was because of the potion I brewed.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhqzhz7uKq
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTMFQAiPVY
ALLY
So when the time comes brew up another one.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpn9rFdF3j
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUfFzGqqMF
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.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfwLgvQucA
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT0ftFV7Ek
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.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdRmwmzXFz
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ47SE5dmb0
OLIVER
I guess I better put in an order with the couriers then.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaubveQGBw
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRaIdKyIRj
ALLY
Yes you should.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T8EgGUs3j
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwu4xH97U7
(Royce enters the room. He is wearing a white apron.)
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4QfS71o0d
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvK2PEGcQx
ROYCE
Glory be. What's taking you two so long? The trout I caught this morning are waiting on the table.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11E4VcnyXX
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QotUflZ8D
ALLY
Well I told him to wash up and he is too busy tinkering on this contraption.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbFDzFCMPq
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jTU2qRVsS
OLIVER
Contraption? This is no mere contraption! This is a mys...
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZqzAJSj6Z
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eXjJscVps
ALLY
(Cutting Oliver off mid sentence.)
Now don't go getting into that again. Come wash up and eat supper!
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbCX60LtIA
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0Yv3F1Ev6
(The old man puts down his tools and slips off his headgear.)
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMLxP8RxlA
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqSlBgLqYx
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.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNk7OSt5rw
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0VC9pg94r
(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. )
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8s7HISIfv
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5UkxuDGop
ALLY
(Yelling from the background while laughing.)
Oliver! It's Friday! Come dance with us!
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhSwOEBWfe
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3PzwNG7rm
OLIVER
(Not looking up from his writing.)
Perhaps soon. I have some business to attend to first.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZthgXnq60
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJD8gd7lVW
ALLY
We've been taking care of business all week! Now it's time to kick your heels up! You know the rules!
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg18Ke7cPAs
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1DSDexsnO
OLIVER
You'll be the death of me!
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseVpFaXBWO
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLLowWpDIF
(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. )
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUwnWIuzRX
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1jIWFgBTH
TABITHA
Here you are, Mr. Ruppel.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4PQuf4NQZ
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mNzai6ZwM
(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.)
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fENlS4ZVc
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYy96yVZbW
OLIVER
Ahhhh. Thank you, young lady. This is fine lemonade. Did you make it?
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3yIBWO4Kx
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoInhZziapM
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.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8y7RACWHi
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVyC977l33
OLIVER
Well he did a fine job of teaching you.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWH2VKCsqOZ
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgUCBOvvYA
TABITHA
Thank you, sir.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv1E39DDKC
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT25sQSJdh
OLIVER
So how have things been going for you here, Tabitha? You've been here nearly a month now. Are you enjoying your time?
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkiiT3ndM0
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6uaCcCtfW
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.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsctbkXO9nz
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduASdFFUWT
OLIVER
It is hard work indeed, but Ms. Friel tells me you are doing an excellent job.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypMW19pOBc
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlowMYmTjn
TABITHA
Thank you, sir.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlC1GDBmoEE
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlUWIyi5rt
OLIVER
Ally told me that there was a bit of trouble the other day with Worthington?
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcfUy3F4Mc
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Sjv8XjBiV
(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.)
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajE7d3juFO
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YCWT9EO7y
TABITHA
Um, no, sir. It was just a misunderstanding. I don't want any trouble. I like my job.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfWrn19LSV
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BJ1K4b6rb
(Tabitha keeps glancing quick looks at Worthington. It is clear that she is terrified of him.)
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIVPR4Axse
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F8juQOqP6
OLIVER
There is no trouble, young lady. But I can see he makes you uncomfortable.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdPlBqNYjB
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTXxFsxA0S
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.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThfWVVMKvo
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTvdbp6ubA
OLIVER
Maybe it is. Maybe it isn't.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuqWP6cKrC
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VlDpFa8GG
TABITHA
Please, Mr. Rupple, I don't wanna make no waves. He's my superior.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDRjUeRLy0
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6vJVSRfhM
(Oliver takes another drink of the lemonade.)
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4dUXvOw7I
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllmWmCK9Rz
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?
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gD9az3Tjs
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMo4IIfUjAe
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.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEvVU1l841
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsPly3k9Dg
OLIVER
He reads you the recipes?
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MNkKghbVo
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2Wfetsmfl
TABITHA
Yes, sir. I can't make the letters into words.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjstQDrZOWx
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgUQNIdt2I
OLIVER
You can't read?
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgprX4JzCB
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3n1YwLpIOs
TABITHA
No, sir. My father said I had no need for it.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4LgWnIk0C
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTWELBdX9R
OLIVER
Well that won't do.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFIx5hc9Z9
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIQB6ehT5O
TABITHA
I've always made due, sir.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4h5glODO5d
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcegDjfXX2A
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.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mYWaiXd47
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNueW8TxevS
TABITHA
Sir? I don't understand. Am I being let go?
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6oevVEYI7
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1V4zb4HajI
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.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnjpyV4QU8
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4leYdVkbNY
TABITHA
A new position?
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWTo5CLC23
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKaNTMjuFG
OLIVER
A new position. Monday morning you will report to the kitchens. You will work for Royce from now on.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRdluQmrFQ
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzroWDEyMJl
TABITHA
No more barn?
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStMknSUrCa
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Nb1rzmZqC
OLIVER
No more barn.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJ8IAOjPIH
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWXJ4yQvb6
TABITHA
But I don't know how to read the recipes.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzjAFCV62o
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTunHWXilvP
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.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7esYNxviwp
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHBJDlI1lw
(The girl beams from ear to ear. Oliver finishes the lemonade.)
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6wBUNFWu7
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO94EELxA5
TABITHA
Mr. Ruppel I don't know how to thank you.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2FhTiOJAk
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn8pDFw8lk
OLIVER
No thanks is necessary. But another glass of this lemonade would be just fine.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDIUsXlZom
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69oAtOPr9w
(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. )
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopzL1eJCJh
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6XdKvzViJ
OLIVER
If you would be so kind to take this list to Landon. It is ingredients I will be requiring from the capital.
