(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?
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ePacLUe5x
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpYHht3XXH
OLIVER
(Not looking up from his work.)
Yes. Yes I am.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCl6QSkxRU
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNxtUl42i9
ALLY
(Poking her head in the room.)
It's almost supper time. Wash up.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnalTKhQUD
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuwgm8N558
OLIVER
Just a moment more. It's a very intricate process.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquyjctyGqt
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dWSaR0rhC
ALLY
(Walking fully into the room. It is easy to see she is very pregnant.)
What are you working on now?
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR7i8xqxfm
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc61vQf0T64
OLIVER
I'm creating a playmate for our son.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qkfSU2NTV
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2v1RRS2Y0
ALLY
A playmate? A live playmate?
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDvBV4wTMf
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHuAcMy3rI
OLIVER
That is the idea. It will be his playmate. And his protector.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOApW7EmG0
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI19uWZdE9
(Ally moves closer and starts examining the contraption.)
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAeb3wNDmB
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusQA0ZrtIu
ALLY
How is a contraption of steel and wires going to be a suitable playmate for our boy? Or girl.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVrbsnehKA
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4VhTL9aD8
OLIVER
Magic, my dear.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxvrJZVkH3
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZpkYnlX4A
ALLY
Magic. Of course.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYgIpcS3bO
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElJWsabIyp
OLIVER
You say Magic like it is a bad thing. It has brought much wealth into our lives, young lady.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU7blyOGjB
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OxAQfRHdB
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.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWotHw0RSS
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Iwi7ABuxJ
OLIVER
That is what I am doing here. This mystical playmate will be the best toy any boy could ask for.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6bsrb6nAe
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1zBG4ECv3
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?
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7opGCzQAII
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyX4yD2Vohz
OLIVER
(Looking surprised. )
Oh. I thought that our one time rendezvous was enough for you?
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlYEz6cBJM
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQE12c7o0K
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.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqUflVhzFY
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS179VyLJcd
OLIVER
Once you saw this body in the nude I knew you would come running back for more.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWFKBqexGN
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYkbW4x5ht
(Ally laughs and slaps Oliver in the shoulder.)
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00Q5pgtZ9b
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTYgOBje8G
ALLY
You are terrible!
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRLZ0tXJW2
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYfElBkuUt
OLIVER
I can't help it if women want to put their hands all over this soft, doughy body. What woman could resist?
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLub2jSOz4y
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUYT9Vh2NX
ALLY
You are the worst, Oliver Ruppel.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2UYjsrnvC
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRsLcnYku7
OLIVER
I do what I can.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nRRsIvsr1
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQn4TsRw8F
ALLY
But I'm serious. I think we should have another child after this one.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vCS0Matp6
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35ho9VnMU3
OLIVER
You are being serious?
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUo1XddBPon
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfM2PBp8lT
ALLY
I am. I think having two rug rats destroying everything in sight would be wonderful.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UBSDh96VM
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmrf2lB7Fg
OLIVER
I'm not going to be around forever. So sooner rather than later you would be raising them alone.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0L2q8khalz
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhM1NbXOTB
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.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEIfDmSYnW
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Vtfx83Nly
OLIVER
Perhaps, my dear. Perhaps. What does Royce think of this?
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLbv0Zojn4
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaqwxxJpAu
ALLY
Royce understands our situation and he loves you just as much as I do.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MmvMkOhqp
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoJ9S5aH6x
OLIVER
He will make a fine father for the children after I'm gone.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhtAY5y5uo
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMunBenSZww
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.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn35A4TQ6th
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyE1atJ998
OLIVER
The only reason we were able to do what we did last time was because of the potion I brewed.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYtq6CTlEu
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaE78xK6yPP
ALLY
So when the time comes brew up another one.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJks8vPpjya
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNbrIiYYSQ
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.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCECy2W8fe
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVNX9mHrtj
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.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoh7ThVHw5
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgjHzEisqB
OLIVER
I guess I better put in an order with the couriers then.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFqkZPdd29
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYufayE4Ys6
ALLY
Yes you should.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2O4Ull400g
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatAgtrKHWK
(Royce enters the room. He is wearing a white apron.)
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡku34zlOnVl
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8jGhFNKk6
ROYCE
Glory be. What's taking you two so long? The trout I caught this morning are waiting on the table.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2HcCnafxs
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgymSdqxNTO
ALLY
Well I told him to wash up and he is too busy tinkering on this contraption.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOigplmmJU
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQLzt1e78m
OLIVER
Contraption? This is no mere contraption! This is a mys...
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1bge6RwMY
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEisu1Cehx
ALLY
(Cutting Oliver off mid sentence.)
Now don't go getting into that again. Come wash up and eat supper!
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡect7eeDPOo
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zr7J4yYZ9
(The old man puts down his tools and slips off his headgear.)
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeytYNdHv1
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKD2rDeuKY
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.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwoyFzHQLI
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EFL0hPrXK
(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. )
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20udP2yZLc
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLaNeWAhI7
ALLY
(Yelling from the background while laughing.)
Oliver! It's Friday! Come dance with us!
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolVIxIdsdD
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfaOz1eOV9
OLIVER
(Not looking up from his writing.)
Perhaps soon. I have some business to attend to first.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5KtqV61j8
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsueuioL0x4
ALLY
We've been taking care of business all week! Now it's time to kick your heels up! You know the rules!
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VqQITidbP
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWY8RmxbZ7
OLIVER
You'll be the death of me!
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPrPPVaDw6
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf3PQh7YTZ
(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. )
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsyQQvh0yB
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxyzmH7c6J
TABITHA
Here you are, Mr. Ruppel.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgUzY2yvmW
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6uvVboiu8
(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.)
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzG9YIRo6CR
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Vt6uv18wg
OLIVER
Ahhhh. Thank you, young lady. This is fine lemonade. Did you make it?
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf4ow3iIgj
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6ZijSIgnv
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.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3bkxDsW7E
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGbZ5nhFIR
OLIVER
Well he did a fine job of teaching you.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfAD81gkHW
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibIfH89oOJ
TABITHA
Thank you, sir.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fUnZ50DJl
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnu632bFP8t
OLIVER
So how have things been going for you here, Tabitha? You've been here nearly a month now. Are you enjoying your time?
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3luAR0aotW
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsrCWFqOHM
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.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT080nd2VH0
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8gSxf3mGo
OLIVER
It is hard work indeed, but Ms. Friel tells me you are doing an excellent job.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNImUdoM4tL
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgnQoNvzvj
TABITHA
Thank you, sir.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqo33TbbMx
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjGBt5lI3C
OLIVER
Ally told me that there was a bit of trouble the other day with Worthington?
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbMsbVEEvl
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiynqcK335a
(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.)
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoFZEuyjl2
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3b2dgcrqZ
TABITHA
Um, no, sir. It was just a misunderstanding. I don't want any trouble. I like my job.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBU4f3YmEz
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMuiV1S4Aa
(Tabitha keeps glancing quick looks at Worthington. It is clear that she is terrified of him.)
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21EhLI8Jp8
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqELsd4Ty0
OLIVER
There is no trouble, young lady. But I can see he makes you uncomfortable.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuLjs9uVKq
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDQLP51Ds1
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.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh42IWHdV3W
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ro3ufAjXB
OLIVER
Maybe it is. Maybe it isn't.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11uZgr1WP6
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycKWy6Unnt
TABITHA
Please, Mr. Rupple, I don't wanna make no waves. He's my superior.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2NZrkTUq2
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnai0tu71ik
(Oliver takes another drink of the lemonade.)
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuvyFjOECf
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr8LdaVIag
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?
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrUhPTwzfe
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9gAIHwXmW
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.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcFIHJQZ2v
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDQoSEL8UO
OLIVER
He reads you the recipes?
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwjH7q9rYm
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sYAv0WneM
TABITHA
Yes, sir. I can't make the letters into words.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgzAcxvcbe
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLg4HPHzYr0
OLIVER
You can't read?
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoGJQK4E7v
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nSO7xEEo4
TABITHA
No, sir. My father said I had no need for it.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH6oxqTFoq
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngaK6u3ahB
OLIVER
Well that won't do.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiKg0rXtRJ
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sKrV1YAa3
TABITHA
I've always made due, sir.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZ9BOKGJMA
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvNhRvM5xo
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.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClN2lVuXVU
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT54SnRnG9v
TABITHA
Sir? I don't understand. Am I being let go?
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeosEvBfjX
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z1QXprQ3o
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.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNaXGAmIFr
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FETRrztOW
TABITHA
A new position?
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9c1eGGQ1D
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNY8Dolk9f
OLIVER
A new position. Monday morning you will report to the kitchens. You will work for Royce from now on.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInaONRuEdJ
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rm8TtL002
TABITHA
No more barn?
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEWHQQ4nOZ
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFc6A0FecGl
OLIVER
No more barn.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERG4glDuLV
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmBkOpqORB
TABITHA
But I don't know how to read the recipes.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQ6s3zsSLf
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxY1kftNKQQ
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.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5rA0pP0RI
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzJg8g8YCF
(The girl beams from ear to ear. Oliver finishes the lemonade.)
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsupSC1BUBM
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBQXQhHdNt
TABITHA
Mr. Ruppel I don't know how to thank you.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfSdwZM3r6
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGUjrbOVK7
OLIVER
No thanks is necessary. But another glass of this lemonade would be just fine.
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uAOowfaPD
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhiJnFPOoJ
(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. )
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscXLWlyGG7
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOeTSQjAoF
OLIVER
If you would be so kind to take this list to Landon. It is ingredients I will be requiring from the capital.
