FADE IN:
INT. RAYDELL AND KAYLA'S BEDROOM - NIGHT (NIGHT 1)
(RAY, KAYLA)
KAYLA LAYS IN BED FAST ASLEEP WHILE RAYDELL TOSSES AND
TURNS, TRYING TO GET SOME SHUT-EYE. RAYDELL GROANS.
KAYLA
What's the matter Ray?
RAYDELL
It's my stomach. I think I'm sick.
KAYLA
You mean you don't know if you're
sick or not?
RAYDELL
I'm sick, I'm sick as a dog, okay?
I feel like a small aliens' going
to pop out of my stomach any
minute.
KAYLA
I told you not to eat all that
bean dip. It's probably just gas.
RAYDELL
Beans don't give you gas. That's
an old bean myth.
KAYLA
Everybody knows beans gives you
gas. Just look in the bathroom.
There's some anti-gas pills inside
the medicine cabinet.
RAYDELL
Good idea.
STILL HALF ASLEEP, RAYDELL HEADS FOR THE BATHROOM.
RAYDELL (cont'd)
(grabs his
stomach in pain)
Oh boy. No wonder that bean dip
was only fifty cents.
INSIDE THE BATHROOM WE CAN HEAR RAYDELL FUMBLING THROUGH
VARIOUS BOTTLES IN THE MEDICINE CABINET. HE UNSCREWS ONE
OF THE BOTTLES AND RUNS SOME TAP WATER INTO A CUP. WE HEAR
HIM SWALLOW THE PILLS. RAYDELL ENTERS FROM THE BATHROOM.
RAYDELL (cont'd)
(fanning)
Man, those Tums really work fast.
No wonder they're number one.
KAYLA
Come on and lie down. Just be
still and let your stomach settle.
RAYDELL
Alright. Good idea.
RAYDELL CRAWLS BACK INTO BED BUT SOON, KAYLA IS AWAKEN BY
THE FOUL SMELL. SHE SITS UP AND TURNS ON THE LIGHT.
KAYLA
Whew. It's starting to smell like
an outhouse in here.
RAYDELL
Come on, it's not that bad.
KAYLA
Then why are my eyes are watering
and my nose burning? Even my lips
feel like they're peeling off of
my face?
RAYDELL
I can't help it. If I hold it in
my ass will explode. The whole
purpose of the pills is to get it
out of me, right?
KAYLA
Okay. Why don't you sleep
downstairs then.
RAYDELL
I'm sick. I'm lucky I can crawl,
let alone struggle down those
treacherous stairs.
KAYLA
Okay, fine.
SHE GETS OUT OF BED, GRABS HER PILLOW AND BLANKET AND
BEGINS TO EXIT THE ROOM.
RAYDELL
Where are you going?
KAYLA
Well, since I don't own a gas mask
I guess I'll be the one sleeping
downstairs.
RAYDELL MAKES A LOUD GROAN.
RAYDELL
(in pain)
Oh boy. Would you mind bringing
some ice?
KAYLA
What do you need ice for?
RAYDELL
(embarrassed)
Let's just say beans and jalapenos
are a fierce combination.
INT. BRAVE'S KITCHEN - MORNING (DAY 1)
(RAY, KAYLA)
KAYLA IS IN HER PAJAMAS, GETTING READY TO FIX BREAKFAST.
RAYDELL ENTERS IN HIS PAJAMAS.
KAYLA
Good morning. How you feeling?
RAYDELL
Good. So good I cooked you
breakfast. Crispy lean bacon.
Fluffy eggs-no yolk. Lightly
toasted toast, no edges.
KAYLA
Sounds and smells good.
RAYDELL
Cause it is.
KAYLA
Ray, I don't think those were Tums
you took last night.
RAYDELL
Yeah, they were.
KAYLA
No.
KAYLA HOLDS UP A BOTTLE OF PILLS.
KAYLA (cont'd)
These were open on the bathroom
counter this morning. Is this what
you took last night?
RAYDELL
(unsure)
...It's possible. What are they?
KAYLA
My prenatal vitamins.
RAYDELL
Prenatal?! What the devil are
prenatal vitamins doing in there?!
You're not--?
KAYLA
No, I'm not pregnant, but you have
a certain kind of glow about you.
RAYDELL
Oh you are hilarious.
(beat)
Those pills aren't going to do
anything to me... right?
KAYLA
What do you mean, like side
effects?
RAYDELL
Yeah. Those were made for women,
not men.
KAYLA
What do you think, you're going to
grow breast? Suddenly become
smarter?
THEY BOTH CHUCKLE.
RAYDELL
Yeah this is crazy. Let's forget
about it.
KAYLA
Good idea.
RAYDELL
Let's just enjoy our breakfast
together and have a nice
conversation.
KAYLA
(flabbergasted)
What did you just say?
RAYDELL
I want to have a conversation, you
know, talk. We hardly ever talk
anymore.
KAYLA
Okay. Something is definitely
different here.
RAYDELL
Don't worry, I'll clean the
kitchen.
KAYLA
No, not the kitchen. You.
RAYDELL
What about me?
KAYLA
Well, first you offer to cook
breakfast.
RAYDELL
Big deal, I cook breakfast plenty
of times. Yeah, but not like this.
Fluffy. Crispy. No edges? And on
top of that you want to have a
voluntary conversation with me?
This is not normal, Raydell. I
think those prenatal pills must be
having some kind of crazy,
wonderful, metamorphic effect on
you.
RAYDELL (cont'd)
Yeah, right. Those pills can't
change me... Can they?
KAYLA
Now I'm not so sure.
RAYDELL
What do you mean? What are you
saying?
KAYLA
Nothing. I'm not saying anything.
They're just vitamins, alright?
(unsure)
What possible harm can prenatal
vitamins have on a full grown man?
RAYDELL
Nothing, I'm sure.
KAYLA
Me too.
(unsure)
Pretty sure.
RAYDELL
Okay. This is really silly. I
know you're just messing with me..
Aren't you?
KAYLA
(unconvincing)
Yeah.
(chuckles.)
Almost had you too.
RAYDELL
Yeah, that was pretty good. You
had me going for a minute.
KAYLA
Let's just eat.
RAYDELL
Good idea. Sit down and I'll serve
you.
KAYLA SITS AT THE TABLE. RAYDELL GOES TO GET THE FOOD.
KAYLA
Why are you walking like that?
RAYDELL
I don't know why, but I feel a
little top-heavy this morning.
INT. BRAVE'S KITCHEN - DAY (DAY 1)
TROY IS AT THE TABLE...??
BARRY AND NADINE ENTER THOUGH THE FRONT DOOR.
NADINE
Hey Troy. How's my grandson doing?
TROY
Fine grandma. Hey grandpa.
BARRY
Hey Troy. Where's everybody else.
TROY
I'm not sure. I think I heard Dad
say something about shoe shopping.
BARRY
Well anyway. I bought you all
something.
TROY
What's the occasion?
BARRY
No occasion. Just felt like
splurgin' on my family. Is there a
crime in that?
TROY
I don't think so.
NADINE
Go ahead and open the bag. They
all have names on 'em.
TROY OPENS THE BIG BAG.
TROY
Wow, a watch. This is nice.
BARRY
That's from me to you, Troy. Don't
ever lose it, alright?
TROY
Alright.
INT. BRAVE'S LIVING ROOM - AFTERNOON (DAY 1)
(RAY, KAYLA, TROY, ALLY)
RAYDELL, KAYLA, DAVONNA AND TARRIN ENTER.
KAYLA
Hey Troy.
TROY
Hey everybody. How was the
botanical garden?
RAYDELL
(careful of his
works)
Nice.
DAVONNA
I enjoyed it.
TARRIN
Not me.
KAYLA
Where'd these bags come from?
TROY
Oh, they're for you guys, from
grandpa.
RAYDELL
From who?
TROY
From grandpa.
RAYDELL
Who's grandpa?
TROY
Ours. They all have names on them.
KAYLA OPENS THE BAG AND TAKES OUT A HAT.
KAYLA
Look. He got me a hat.
RAYDELL
Hey, that's pretty.
TARRIN
What did you just say?
RAYDELL
I said that's pretty nice.
TROY
I didn't hear you say nice. But I
did hear you say pretty.
RAYDELL
Well I said it. Pretty nice. Why
would I just say pretty without
the nice? That's stupid.
DAVONNA DIGS INTO THE BAG.
DAVONNA
I got a blue tooth speaker.
TROY
Those are not cheap.
DAVONNA
I know. What did you get?
TROY
A watch. Check it out.
DAVONNA
Cool. That looks expensive.
TARRIN
Where's my gift?
DAVONNA
You gotta look in the bag like the
rest of us.
TARRIN RETRIEVES HIS GIFT FROM THE BAG.
TARRIN
Whoa, a tablet! Top of the line!
KAYLA
Let's see what you got, Ray.
RAYDELL
Yeah okay.
RAYDELL DIGS INTO THE BAG AND PULLS OUT A SMALL BOX.
RAYDELL (cont'd)
(opening his box)
Hey, I got a watch too. I'm going
to give Pop a call and thank him
for the gifts. I just gotta find
my phone.
RAYDELL WHISTLES HAPPILY AS HE SEARCHES FOR HIS PHONE.
DAVONNA
He can't be that happy about the
watch.
BARRY AND NADINE ENTER THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR.
TARRIN
Hey grandma and grandpa. Thanks
for the gift!
DAVONNA
Yeah. I love the speakers.
KAYLA
Hey ma. Barry. I love my hat. It's
beautiful.
BARRY
Glad you all like 'em.
(jokingly)
Just don't expect this all the
time.
RAYDELL
Hey pop, Nadine. I was just about
to call and thank you for the
gifts. The watch is nice.
BARRY
(notices Ray's
watch)
Then why are you wearing Troy's?
RAYDELL
What do you mean? This one had my
name on it.
BARRY
No. That's the one I bought for
Troy.
BARRY LOOKS OVER AT TROY'S WATCH.
BARRY (cont'd)
He's wearing yours. Why'd you two
switch?
TROY
(embarrassed)
Forgive me father, for I have
sinned. I switched because I like
yours better. Here you go.
RAYDELL
No, go ahead and keep it.
TROY
Really?
RAYDELL
Yeah. You must have wanted it
pretty bad to do something so
underhanded. Besides, this one's
pretty good.
BARRY
(to Ray)
Alright, that's between you two,
just don't lose the booklet to
that, Ray. You're gonna need it in
order to program the satellite
functions.
TROY
(his mouth drops)
Satellite functions?
BARRY
They tell me you can get all the
latest movies on that thing too.
All the magazines say it's the
best tech watch on the market.
That's why I got it for you, I
didn't think your father would be
able to figure out all those
functions.
RAYDELL
(smirking at
Troy)
No, I'm sure I will. Thanks Pop.
BARRY
Bought myself a new drill too. Top
of the line. Can't wait to use it.
RAYDELL
You're not dying are you Pop?
BARRY
No, but sometimes you just have to
live like you are.
NADINE
Your father bought me a new dress
too.
RAYDELL
Oh yeah? What color?
NADINE
Blue.
RAYDELL
Floral or pastel?
KAYLA
Ray. Ray. Don't worry about it.
BARRY
What the hell's wrong with you?
RAYDELL
Nothing.
BARRY
What do you mean nothing? You're
talking dress colors, now you're
over there adjusting your wife's
hat on her head.
KAYLA
Yeah. Stop it Ray. Must be those
pills he took last night.
BARRY
What pills are you talking about?
Sex-change pills?
NADINE
Oh my God, he's on drugs?!
KAYLA
No Ma.
RAYDELL
No. I accidentally took some of
Kayla's prenatal vitamins instead
of Tums.
NADINE
Wait a minute. Prenatal? Are you
pregnant--
RAYDELL
No. She's not preg. They were
just some old pills she never
threw away.
KAYLA
And now Ray thinks the pills are
changing him into a woman.
BARRY
A woman?!
(burst out
laughing)
Sweet baby sunshine!
NADINE AND THE KIDS JOIN IN.
RAYDELL
(glaring at
Barry)
I could just scratch your eyes
out, Pop.
THEY ALL EVENTUALLY STOP LAUGHING.
RAYDELL (cont'd)
Look, I know prenatal pills can't
change men into women, that's
crazy. They're just vitamins.
(unsure)
Right?
NADINE
I'm not so sure. I remember the
time your Uncle Nate accidentally
swallowed some rabbit pellets, he
thought they were Cocoa Puffs. All
of a sudden he started hopping
around the house like a fluffy
rabbit.
KAYLA
That wasn't Uncle Nate it was
Cousin Mel. And he didn't eat
rabbit pellets, it was cat chow.
NADINE
Oh yeah. Cousin Mel hasn't taken a
bath since, now he just licks
himself.
TROY
I'm pretty sure it's just mental.
If you stop thinking about it
it'll go away.
RAYDELL
Right. Right. I'm pretty sure he's
right.
NADINE
Well I'd better drive him home. We
just stopped by to pick up his
jacket, he forgot it earlier.
KAYLA
Okay. Drive carefully.
DAVONNA
Thanks again for the gifts,
grandpa.
TARRIN
Thanks grandpa.
TROY
Yeah thanks. And sorry about the
watches. I really do appreciate
the gift.
BARRY
Alright, good night everybody.
RAYDELL
Good night.
KAYLA
Good night Mom. Barry.
BARRY AND NADINE BEGIN TO EXIT.
BARRY
(whispering to
Nadine)
You sure you threw away all your
old prenatal pills?
INT. BRAVE'S KITCHEN - NIGHT (NIGHT 1)
(RAY, KAYLA)
KAYLA IS PUTTING HER NEW HAT IN THE BOX WHEN SHE NOTICES
SOMETHING.
KAYLA
This is not good.
RAYDELL
What's the matter?
KAYLA
That hat your father bought me was
very expensive.
RAYDELL
(sarcastic)
The nerve of that old goat. Don't
worry baby, he won't get away with
this.
KAYLA
Ray.
RAYDELL
As a matter of fact, I'm going
over there right now and give him
a piece of my mind.
KAYLA
Ray.
RAYDELL
And check to make sure the kid's
things are the right color.
Because if they're not--
KAYLA
Ray! The price is not what I'm
concerned about.
RAYDELL
Then what is it?
KAYLA
Look at this.
KAYLA HANDS RAYDELL A RECEIPT.
KAYLA (cont'd)
That's the receipt for our
presents. I was going to use it to
exchange my hat for a smaller
size. But then I see he put all of
our gifts on a credit card.
RAYDELL
So what. The man's seventy years
old. He can't have a credit card?
KAYLA
But look at the name on it.
RAYDELL
(reading)
Ethan Kowalski? Who's Ethan
Kowalski?
KAYLA
I don't know, but something's
doesn't feel right.
INT. BARRY'S KITCHEN - EVENING (DAY 1)
(RAY, NADINE, BARRY)
BARRY IS USING HIS NEW POWER DRILL WHILE NADINE SORTS
THROUGH THE CABINETS, THROWING AWAY OLD MEDICINE BOTTLES.
RAYDELL ENTERS.
DOORBELL
NADINE
I'll get it.
NADINE OPENS THE DOOR.
NADINE (cont'd)
(to Ray)
Oh hey, Ray. What's up?
RAYDELL
(surprised)
Oh. I didn't know you were here.
NADINE
Yeah, I just stopped over to fix
your father breakfast.
RAYDELL
Can I talk to him?
NADINE
Of course. He's in the kitchen
drilling something.
RAYDELL ENTERS AND HEADS FOR THE KITCHEN.
RAYDELL
'Morning Pop.
BARRY
Hey son. Want some breakfast?
RAYDELL
No thanks.
(whispering)
Who's Ethan Kowalski?
BARRY
(jittery)
Who?
RAYDELL
Ethan Kowalski.
BARRY
How should I know? look, I'm
pretty busy here, so why don't you
come back--
RAYDELL
Where did you get the money to buy
all these gifts?
BARRY
The government sent me a big
check, okay?
RAYDELL
Come on Pop. The truth.
BARRY
Haven't you ever heard the term,
never look a gift horse in the
mouth?
RAYDELL
I need to know.
NADINE
Me too.
BARRY
Alright, the truth is, I found a
credit card laying in the parking
lot, I used it for all the gifts.
NADINE
This is crazy. Why would you do
something like that, Barry?
BARRY
I don't know. Mid-life crises? Too
much iron in my diet? Who knows.
RAYDELL
When we're in court, please make
up something better than that.
Tell them you took some bad acid
or something.
BARRY
This doesn't need to go any
further than this kitchen.
NADINE
You have to turn the credit card
in and everything has to go back
to the stores.
BARRY IS CLUTCHING HIS DRILL CLOSELY.
BARRY
(crazy looking)
No... no. Don't come any closer.
I'll drill both of you.
RAYDELL
Let's just hope the person who
lost the card doesn't want to
press charges. Stripes make you
look skinny.
NADINE
Not only did you steal from the
store, but you impersonated
someone by forging their
signature.
BARRY
Okay Cagny and Columbo. What am I
supposed to do now?
NADINE
What if we returned all the
presents tonight? Maybe Ethan
doesn't even know he's lost his
card yet.
BARRY
And after that, we can mail the
card back to him. No one has to
know it was me.
RAYDELL
Alright let's go, we only have a
half an hour before the mall
closes. Everybody get your
jackets, it's nippy outside.
NADINE
Did you just say, nippy?
RAYDELL
Of course not. Now everybody
gather your stolen goods together
and meet me out front. I'll bring
the car around, but you guys
follow, in case we have to torch
one. I'll create a diversion on
the south side of the mall, but
any sign of cops or security, we
abort the mission--
BARRY
Go get in the car, Ray.
INT. BRAVE'S LIVING ROOM - NIGHT (NIGHT 2)
(RAY, KAYLA, NADINE, BARRY, TROY)
THE KIDS HAVE ALREADY GONE TO BED. KAYLA IS WATCHING T.V.
ON THE SOFA. RAYDELL ENTERS.
RAYDELL
Hey, we're back.
KAYLA
How did the mission go?
RAYDELL
Everything went as planned. No
casualties, no arrests.
BARRY
The gifts are back in the store
and the credit card is in the
mail.
KAYLA
Great.
BARRY
I owe everybody a huge apology. I
didn't mean to cause you guys all
this trouble. I don't know what
made me do something stupid like
that.
RAYDELL
Maybe you accidentally took some
kleptomaniac pills by mistake.
EVERYBODY CHUCKLES.
BARRY
I just wanted to buy my family
some nice things for a change.
KAYLA
It's okay, Barry. We all make
mistakes. This was one of the
bigger ones, but we still love
you.
NADINE
Yeah, kleptomaniacs need love too.
BARRY
By the way, just out of curiosity,
who ratted me out?
RAYDELL POINTS TO KAYLA.
KAYLA
I'm the rat. And you can stop
pointing at me now, Ray. I just
didn't want to see you get into
any trouble. And I didn't want to
have to visit my father-in-law in
jail. We're family. I was
concerned about you.
BARRY
Thanks Kayla, that means a lot to
me.
(to Raydell)
You've got a good rat here,
Raydell.
RAYDELL
Tell me something I don't know.
NADINE
Well we'd better get some sleep.
Good night everybody.
KAYLA
Good night.
RAYDELL
Good night Pop. And thanks for
nothing.
BARRY
(stern)
What?
BARRY GIVES RAYDELL A HARD STARE.
RAYDELL
I was just kidding. It was a joke.
INT. RAYDELL AND KAYLA'S BEDROOM - NIGHT (NIGHT 2)
(RAY, KAYLA)
RAYMOND ENTERS AND BEGINS UNDRESSING FOR BED. KAYLA IS IN
THE BATHROOM BRUSHING HER TEETH.
RAYDELL
(louder than
usual)
I'm glad that's over with.
KAYLA (O.S.)
(louder than
usual)
Me too. Now let's hope Mr.
Kowalski won't press charges when
he sees the charges on his credit
card.
RAYDELL
You don't think Pop will go to
jail for this, do you?
KAYLA (O.S.)
Na, I doubt it. There was no harm
done. Besides, who wants to send a
senior citizen to jail?
RAYDELL
Yeah, I don't think there's
anything to worry about. Hey how
much longer are you going to be in
the bathroom?
KAYLA (O.S.)
I'll be out in a minute. I'm
flossing.
RAYDELL
You know I'm starting to feel like
my old self again,
(flexing)
you know, manly.
KAYLA (O.S.)
Yeah, I think you're finally
cured. You haven't done anything
cute in a while.
RAYDELL
It was all psychologically in my
mind. But I have mind control,
baby.
KAYLA (O.S.)
Everything looks like it worked
out fine. The kids were a little
disappointing about returning
their gifts. But they'll get over
it.
RAYDELL
Yep.
RAYDELL NOTICES A SMALL PIECE OF CHOCOLATE LAYING AT THE
FOOT OF THE BED.
RAYDELL (cont'd)
(to himself)
Mmm, chocolate. Somebody's in the
mood tonight.
RAYDELL EATS THE CANDY. KAYLA ENTERS.
KAYLA
I have a feeling I'm going to
sleep good tonight.
RAYDELL
(flirty)
Me too. And thanks for the
chocolate.
SHE LOOKS AT THE FOOT OF THE BED, THEN AT RAYDELL.
KAYLA
Ray? What happened to the laxative
I put on the bed?
FADE OUT.
END OF SHOW
