(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?
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDacFU1tNUG
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVuiZWzXww
OLIVER
(Not looking up from his work.)
Yes. Yes I am.

ALLY
(Poking her head in the room.)
It's almost supper time. Wash up.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhoZdMJW6u
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnYIlNYv5g
OLIVER
Just a moment more. It's a very intricate process.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx6Wfhb3mB
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9LYeL2CwW
ALLY
(Walking fully into the room. It is easy to see she is very pregnant.)
What are you working on now?
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHerOWFYv6H
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqUEPQ5HPf
OLIVER
I'm creating a playmate for our son.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ6tPGSmRq
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vJ6zlDr4B
ALLY
A playmate? A live playmate?
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCCauIJrWJ
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3NvZG884o
OLIVER
That is the idea. It will be his playmate. And his protector.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4bIHV0B7M
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WCoMusqai
(Ally moves closer and starts examining the contraption.)
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOg31qFTce
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHtMo6CscO
ALLY
How is a contraption of steel and wires going to be a suitable playmate for our boy? Or girl.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttn2rVHXrZ
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYRHmDV2JA
OLIVER
Magic, my dear.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKQL1kKGBb
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRkM96viTN
ALLY
Magic. Of course.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkjFugZHNI
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0Ba9JFrJf
OLIVER
You say Magic like it is a bad thing. It has brought much wealth into our lives, young lady.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IjrqBL6hl
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKnjz5LeNJ
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.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmO7hZW3yT
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEIDzPWuW5
OLIVER
That is what I am doing here. This mystical playmate will be the best toy any boy could ask for.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSEF4erBdp
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPx6IUBLTg
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?
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGGp4muekL
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzYAwq3Rm4
OLIVER
(Looking surprised. )
Oh. I thought that our one time rendezvous was enough for you?
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRpmrCoF5b
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkVFqVTL3N
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.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cbHWVLACn
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYsBemtV56
OLIVER
Once you saw this body in the nude I knew you would come running back for more.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvLZs2wl8z
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB8clxr53P
(Ally laughs and slaps Oliver in the shoulder.)
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD558LMKO7k
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNQh9bB6rb
ALLY
You are terrible!
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJZRsR8pjj
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLLE6eluXK
OLIVER
I can't help it if women want to put their hands all over this soft, doughy body. What woman could resist?
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j516LYn4L
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRdZJ36rRT
ALLY
You are the worst, Oliver Ruppel.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzRq9mLXgn
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ao4GHgXjM
OLIVER
I do what I can.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiP0XZLq95c
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvO8PDqnlj
ALLY
But I'm serious. I think we should have another child after this one.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBVcGNfj3h
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIElXpD9ff
OLIVER
You are being serious?
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsLvcTq5k4
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jB0sVrCom
ALLY
I am. I think having two rug rats destroying everything in sight would be wonderful.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCydFlIqjMy
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXeN6yreYf
OLIVER
I'm not going to be around forever. So sooner rather than later you would be raising them alone.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3Sq29oqN9
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovceiy7XdO
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.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBLHuZlfDA
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuG8Uhb0Eu
OLIVER
Perhaps, my dear. Perhaps. What does Royce think of this?
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkQMxHT7pl
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsk0iWRuoWh
ALLY
Royce understands our situation and he loves you just as much as I do.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIPI56EqHG
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO4dZ3bqH2
OLIVER
He will make a fine father for the children after I'm gone.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxJ0VUQqJ7
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5nT2dTy2j
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.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuHzKaiYQn
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UgioThJxr
OLIVER
The only reason we were able to do what we did last time was because of the potion I brewed.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroNbS1K1mm
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7EenPZUBo
ALLY
So when the time comes brew up another one.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnHvVvwSyJ
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iXsJGn5sl
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.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9wTrkvMfp
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe8maLHkTB
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.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiETQf7O5pP
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqBVwxwjZF
OLIVER
I guess I better put in an order with the couriers then.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsswqn792tb
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR12yPqVhck
ALLY
Yes you should.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq5lciqlXZ
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhWWs6bvjt
(Royce enters the room. He is wearing a white apron.)
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr51ZdjjtA
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0E0Wew4Zo
ROYCE
Glory be. What's taking you two so long? The trout I caught this morning are waiting on the table.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISBxt76qyv
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJcBhjIq6d
ALLY
Well I told him to wash up and he is too busy tinkering on this contraption.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQb1L4eDF2
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjKyR5Nblx
OLIVER
Contraption? This is no mere contraption! This is a mys...
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXNjLVrDLL
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CHPT43dK2
ALLY
(Cutting Oliver off mid sentence.)
Now don't go getting into that again. Come wash up and eat supper!
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf3QvsaDyq
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo18YKfbla1
(The old man puts down his tools and slips off his headgear.)
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO45iEvKAgc
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov5MRlAEiH
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.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHxoUUKWQm
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukmGX9UYyB
(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. )
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwU1zT69VYG
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEK70pW22i9
ALLY
(Yelling from the background while laughing.)
Oliver! It's Friday! Come dance with us!
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRd6GuDDKk9
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc78Dey9iLJ
OLIVER
(Not looking up from his writing.)
Perhaps soon. I have some business to attend to first.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UElM2QLP0
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj3fDXJwjJ
ALLY
We've been taking care of business all week! Now it's time to kick your heels up! You know the rules!
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrK6m0wnJJ
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNr13hIrkt
OLIVER
You'll be the death of me!
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5vXAN45sr
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESnaTApQVU
(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. )
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLJltRayO6
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxmnVE4Js0
TABITHA
Here you are, Mr. Ruppel.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpo6NMgnbVP
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgpUqKFsDe
(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.)
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxZLIb9EGS
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahZkC5QpiK
OLIVER
Ahhhh. Thank you, young lady. This is fine lemonade. Did you make it?
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWiwTkJXU5
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmf9bTkOtR
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.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaaYEo3FoZ
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5NkaOewQ6
OLIVER
Well he did a fine job of teaching you.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8dq9EDgU7
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4Qo6BZMeb
TABITHA
Thank you, sir.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIbvS8mx4R
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj8tnfCd3x
OLIVER
So how have things been going for you here, Tabitha? You've been here nearly a month now. Are you enjoying your time?
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFecO1TcUG
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWlG1Y3DuV
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.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzXHYIPwTI
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOSfPmjVlF
OLIVER
It is hard work indeed, but Ms. Friel tells me you are doing an excellent job.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8x52SfzJPj
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvGlU6OKHl
TABITHA
Thank you, sir.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrqWDl6ixZ
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiH4wyKM51
OLIVER
Ally told me that there was a bit of trouble the other day with Worthington?
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIkOy7yvth
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqGtLnmoZR
(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.)
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ6wL26OVP
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmOtYYKbYx
TABITHA
Um, no, sir. It was just a misunderstanding. I don't want any trouble. I like my job.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZpxJzZNkC
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2BN6aGzdx
(Tabitha keeps glancing quick looks at Worthington. It is clear that she is terrified of him.)
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXxTslX20P
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTkew2YAuR
OLIVER
There is no trouble, young lady. But I can see he makes you uncomfortable.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHkNcsL0fc
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrLI1IFdOc
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.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbTOBsbbJw
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDDSvEG2LU
OLIVER
Maybe it is. Maybe it isn't.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9s6ZRlOdG
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcECAgIjkj3
TABITHA
Please, Mr. Rupple, I don't wanna make no waves. He's my superior.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAfWJjtcHg
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOZY3E0DIk
(Oliver takes another drink of the lemonade.)
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTIOBCAXvm
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqc1lzckbv
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?
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwJPoRxq2z
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpOtdTornM
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.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAuDYBtb0K
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14MWISAVK5
OLIVER
He reads you the recipes?
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wcy33I2gn
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WfvmLmKuU
TABITHA
Yes, sir. I can't make the letters into words.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFapSaoydha
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22DK5NR729
OLIVER
You can't read?
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLS7XZjUU1
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8PCpIcJTA
TABITHA
No, sir. My father said I had no need for it.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVySv3yaYe
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDR6R0Zli2
OLIVER
Well that won't do.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDV6W9I5TY
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSp5nrNflf
TABITHA
I've always made due, sir.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2FsKHVBzf
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0vTQsD19N
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.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEXtkJ1yFs
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmB5D8xucc
TABITHA
Sir? I don't understand. Am I being let go?
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM597QiEyDg
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySIiCtydsu
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.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnAFympEx4
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESMVGd97Cx
TABITHA
A new position?
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLFulQxLIP
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PSof6Cr9N
OLIVER
A new position. Monday morning you will report to the kitchens. You will work for Royce from now on.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZi0iaiXmbH
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISd6kCniew
TABITHA
No more barn?
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpZQrBCknd
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5wS2AiJTI
OLIVER
No more barn.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX68CFvon3
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJGg2F0lIn
TABITHA
But I don't know how to read the recipes.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNxC1xuBYj
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkswGwKMYf
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.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOS2filE5g8
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡij5CYytT33
(The girl beams from ear to ear. Oliver finishes the lemonade.)
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7p2kL0R0Df
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPP43j9fkgG
TABITHA
Mr. Ruppel I don't know how to thank you.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkAoQOrqNQ
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ihFoCjmkH
OLIVER
No thanks is necessary. But another glass of this lemonade would be just fine.
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbBtlu09OR
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7M79vuEG2
(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. )
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lbLMcl95e
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVu919ECRem
OLIVER
If you would be so kind to take this list to Landon. It is ingredients I will be requiring from the capital.
