CAST AND CREW ARE EXCITED AS THEY WAIT PATIENTLY.
FELICIA
Alright everybody. I feel good
about the rehearsals, I think they
went well. But today is film day.
Today day we shoot our first
episode!
EVERYBODY APPLAUDS
FELICIA (cont'd)
I take it everyone did the correct
vocal exercises already.
CAST
Yes. Yep. I did. Yes Ma'am.
FELICIA
Okay, let's run through the whole
show. If you forget your lines,
somebody needs to help 'em out, or
just add-lib, but nobody stops
because we can't afford any
retakes.
GRECO
Nor do we have any editing
equipment.
FELICIA
All we've got is a dynamite
script, a super-8 camera, and one
hell of a director. Now let's show
Hollywood what we're made of!
EVERYBODY APPLAUDS
FELICIA (cont'd)
Before we start. Everybody's phone
goes off. Not vibrate, not snooze.
Off.
EVERYBODY TURNS THEIR PHONES OFF.
FELICIA (cont'd)
Alright, let's do it Greco!--
DAVONNA
Wait!
FELICIA
Wait? Now? Really? Literally
seconds before we start shooting?
DAVONNA
I've been working on a theme song.
Every show needs a good theme
song, right?
FELICIA
(frustrated
sarcasm)
Hell, I was just going to download
the Mission Impossible theme, loop
it, smash it, twerk it, make it my
own. But let's hear what you've
got Day-Day.
DAVONNA
They're on my computer.
DAVONNA WALKS OVER TO HER COMPUTE
I've actually got a few to chose
from. Check it out.
SONG #1 PLAYS...
AFTER ONLY ONE BAR...
FELICIA
Next.
DAVONNA
How about this one?
SONG #2 PLAYS...
A PARTIAL BAR PLAYS...
FELICIA
Nope.
DAVONNA
This?
SONG #3 PLAYS...
A PARTIAL BAR PLAYS...
FELICIA
Stinks.
DAVONNA
Okay, this is the last one.

INT. BRAVE'S LIVING ROOM - DAY (D1)
TROY IS ALL ALONE IN THE NEW HOUSE, TALKING ON THE PHONE.
TROY
(into phone)
...Yeah, we've got a huge house
now... Yeah man, a huge swimming
pool, butler, and this fine maid
that wears this--
THE REST OF THE BRAVE FAMILY ENTERS THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR.
KAYLA
Troy!
TROY
(into phone)
I gotta go.
KAYLA
Why are your long lips talking on
the phone while we're still
bringing stuff in?
TROY
Sorry. Let me help you with that,
mom.
KAYLA
Good idea.
RAYDELL
So, how do you guys like the
place? Bigger. Better, right?
KAYLA
(not impressed)
..Yeah, it's a nice layout.
RAYDELL
You don't like it?
KAYLA
It's a little older than I
thought.
RAYDELL
What about you, kids? You like the
new house? Your rooms?
DAVONNA
It's okay, but my room faces the
canyon. I think I saw a wolf.
RAYDELL
Girl, ain't no wolves out there.
It was probably a badger.
TROY
Why do I have to share my very
small room with, Tarrin?
RAYDELL
Because your very small brother
needs a place to sleep.
TARRIN
Troy snores like a hippopotamus
and there's hardly any ventilation
in there.
RAYDELL
Man, it sure sounds like a lot of
complaining going on around here.
I don't get it, it's a great
house, a great neighborhood.
KAYLA
It's just going to take some time
to get used to it, Ray.
DOORBELL RING
RAYDELL
I'll get it.
RAYDELL OPENS THE DOOR. ON THE OTHER SIDE IS A MAN AND A
WOMAN, BOTH IN THEIR 70'S.
RAYDELL (cont'd)
Hey Pop. Nadine.
BARRY
Hey Ray.
NADINE
Hey Ray.
RAYDELL
Come on in.
BARRY AND NADINE ENTER.
RAYDELL (cont'd)
Kayla, your mom's here.
KAYLA
Hey Mom.
NADINE
Hey Kay.
(happier)
Hey kids.
KIDS
Hey grandma. Hey grandpa.
BARRY
How you kids like your new house?
DAVONNA
Well there's this canyon behind
the house--
TROY
I still have to share my room with
Tarrin.
TARRIN
There's no airflow in there.
BARRY
(not caring)
That's great. Great. Say Ray, that
lawn of yours out front is a
little frazzled. When you gonna
fix that?
RAYDELL
We just moved in, so... not yet.
BARRY
You've got a good woman, a fine
family and a great house. Don't
mess it up.
RAYDELL
Yes father.
NADINE
(changing the
subject)
So Tarrin, now that you're in a
new house, maybe you'll stop
having those nightmares.
TARRIN
They're not exactly nightmares,
just really strange dreams that
are sometimes frightening.
BARRY
What did you dream about last
night?
TARRIN
I dreamed I was playing chess with
these tall purple alien-like
creatures.
BARRY
Awe boy, that just means you're
eating too much sugar.
NADINE
Don't listen to your grandfather,
he doesn't know how to interpret
dreams.
BARRY
Hey, it sure smells good in here.
What is that, Pledge?
KAYLA
No, it's my candles. Eucalyptus,
honey and Myrrh.
BARRY
Myrrh so those are biblical
candles?
KAYLA
No.
NADINE
(smelling)
Mmmm. Where'd you get it from?
KAYLA
I made it.
NADINE
Where'd did you learn how to do
that?
KAYLA
Online. They've got D.I.Y for
everything.
NADINE
You got a D.U.I? Awe come on
Kayla, you've got kids and a new!-
KAYLA
D.I.Y., Mom. It means Do it
yourself.
NADINE
Oh. Well you sure did it.
BARRY
Smells real good to me. Holy even.
KAYLA
I'm thinking about starting my own
candle making business. Sell 'em
online.
NADINE
That sounds great.
BARRY
Well good luck. But if that candle
thing doesn't work out, you'd make
a hell of a security guard with
those muscles of yours.
KAYLA
Thanks Barry. I'll consider that.
So mom, how's the substitute
teaching going?
NADINE
Not good. First day there, there
were dice, cigarettes, fights,
guns. And that's just the staff.
The kids are twice as bad. I need
to go ahead and retire.
HARP MUSIC PLAYS IN THE THE DISTANCE.
RAYDELL
What in the heaven...?
KAYLA
I'll get it.
KAYLA OPENS THE FRONT DOOR. ON THE OTHER SIDE STANDS A
MIDDLE-AGED MAN IN A SUIT, THIS IS VITO TANG.
KAYLA (cont'd)
Hello. Can I help you?
VITO
Hello. I'm Vito Tang, your
neighbor next door.
SFX: HARP STRUM
VITO (cont'd)
Welcome to the neighborhood.
KAYLA
(uncomfortable)
...Hi. I'm Kayla. This is my
husband, Raydell.
RAYDELL
Hey. How are you doing... without
a shirt on?
VITO
Good. Very good. It's very hard to
find shirts that I like, so I kind
of gave up on 'em.
KAYLA
(uncomfortable)
Would you like to come in?
VITO
Sure. Thank you.
VITO ENTERS.
VITO (cont'd)
I saw you guys moving in all day.
I was going to offer to help, but
I didn't.
RAYDELL
...Thanks?
VITO
(looking around)
Wow, this place is little smaller
and a lot older than I thought.
Sure smells good though.
RAYDELL
My wife makes candles.
VITO
Nice.
KAYLA
Oh, this is my mother, Nadine, and
Raydell's Father, Barry.
NADINE
Hello.
BARRY
Nice to meet you.
VITO
Same here.
KAYLA
This is our daughter, Davonna. Our
Son Tarrin. And our oldest son,
Troy.
VITO
Hi kids.
KIDS
Hi Mr. Tang.
VITO
I know what you're probably all
thinking, Vito Tang. What kind of
name is that? Well my mother's
Italian and my father's Chinese,
so you do the math.
TROY
I think it's a pretty cool combo.
VITO
Thanks, Troy.
TROY
So who's your favorite football
team, Mr. Tang?
VITO
I'm a Rams man.
TROY
Me too! I like him already. Check
this out Mr. Tang, I've got all
the latest Ram's gear, I got the
shirt, the hat, the shoes, bed
sheets, even curtains.
VITO
Very nice.
DAVONNA
I see you play the harp.
VITO
Mini harp. And yes, that's just my
way of welcoming you all to the
neighborhood.
SFX: HARP STRUM
KAYLA
Well we appreciate that. It was
very soothing.
VITO
Yes, the mini harp is one of the
"soothingest" instruments ever
made.
SFX: HARP STRUM
VITO (cont'd)
May I play you a song?
BARRY
No! I've heard more than enough
already. Please don't strum that
thing again.
VITO
Okay. So Raydell, is this a four
or five bedroom?
RAYDELL
It's a three.
VITO
Well at lease you have a spacious
two-car garage.
RAYDELL
Yeah, that's going to be my man
cave.
KAYLA
Correction, that's going to be my
gym slash candle shop.
VITO
What kind of gym?
TROY
My mom used to be a semi-pro body
builder several years ago.
VITO
Oh. I knew you looked kind of
bulky.
RAYDELL
Hey, why don't we show you guys
around the place.
BARRY
We've seen it already. I'm the one
who told you about the house,
remember?
RAYDELL
(fake smiling)
Right. And I almost forgot you
live right around the corner too.
KAYLA
Show Vito the house, Ray.
RAYDELL
Oh yeah. So now we're in the
living room. We've got a sofa and
a couple of chairs still on the
truck. Should be here by tomorrow.
VITO
Truckers, slower than a mid-sized
car.
RAYDELL AND VITO WALK.
RAYDELL
And over here is the kitchen slash
dining area. Like I said, we're
still waiting on the furniture,
even the beds.
VITO
Looks like you'll be sleeping on
the floor tonight.
VITO BURSTS OUT LAUGHING.
KAYLA
So where do you live, Vito?
VITO
Right next door on your left.
RAYDELL
(disappointed)
That close, huh?
DAVONNA
Does that canyon behind us have
dangerous animals?
VITO
Nothing out of the normal. You
know, rabbits.
BARRY
Skunks.
VITO
Possums.
BARRY
Snakes.
DAVONNA
Snakes?!
KAYLA
Snakes?!
TROY
Possums? Cool.
NADINE
Say Ray, don't you have a spare
shirt Vito might might want to
wear right now?
VITO
Thanks but no thanks. I like to
let my skin breath.
SFX: TEETH SUCKING
VITO (cont'd)
(scared)
What's that noise? Either you have
bad pipes or this place haunted.
RAYDELL
Neither, that's my father sucking
his teeth. He must have just
eaten.
BARRY
Your mother was kind enough to
make me a fine lunch. Spaghetti,
spinach, biscuits.
NADINE
He eats but he won't floss.
VITO
Wait a minute, so are you two
dating?
BARRY
Of course not.
NADINE
That would be weird.
BARRY
We're just friends.
VITO
But you two seem like--
NADINE
Look Mr. Tang, if a foxy lady and
a handsome man can't be mutual
friends, then there's something
terribly wrong in America.
VITO
(unsure)
No, right. I agree.
RAYDELL TRIES TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT.
RAYDELL
So Vito, what kind of work do you
do?
VITO
I own my own pawn shop across
town.
KAYLA
Sounds interesting.
VITO
It is. Sometimes I get the
strangest merchandise, but the
people are usually even stranger.
One time, somebody brought in a
giant pacifier. Bigger than me.
TARRIN
Was it new or used?
VITO BURST OUT LAUGHING.
VITO
I believe it was used.
VERBAL SOUNDS OF DISGUST.
VITO (cont'd)
I also have some trading cards you
may be interested in, Troy.
TROY
Yes I am. You have a business
card?
VITO
Of course. Here you go.
VITO HANDS TROY A BUSINESS CARD.
TROY
Thanks.
VITO
What about you, Ray? What do you
do?
RAYDELL
Well I used to be a high school
lacrosse coach--
TROY
(cutting in
embarrassed)
He's just joking around. He
coached football... of course.
VITO
(chuckles)
Oh. You had me going for a minute,
Raydell.
TROY
My Dad's funny, right?
VITO
Yes he is. Very funny.
RAYDELL
Starting Monday, I'll be a
Customer Associate at Blinkos.
VITO
Oh, you mean that copy place
downtown?
RAYDELL
Right.
SFX: DOORBELL
TROY
I'll get it.
TROY OPENS THE FRONT DOOR.
TROY (cont'd)
Hello. Can I help you?
VOICE
Good afternoon. Your hot and tasty
deliciously crazy pizza is here.
TROY
We didn't order any pizza.
VITO
I did, before I got here. I
figured you guys wouldn't have the
time or energy to to cook, so I
ordered pizza for everybody.
SFX: HARP STRUM
VITO (cont'd)
My gift to you.
SFX: FRONT DOOR CLOSE
KAYLA
Wow Vito. That was very nice.
RAYDELL
Sure was. Thank you.
VITO
Everybody, help yourselves.
There's Vegi, Pepperoni, and
cheese.
KIDS
Thanks Mr. Tang.
VITO
You're welcome.
EVERYONE BEGINS TO EAT.
TARRIN
This is some good pizza.
VITO
I know. It's from a friend of mine
who owns a pizzeria downtown.
KAYLA
He or she knows their stuff.
DAVONNA
Yeah, this is the best pizza I've
ever had.
TROY
Me too.
RAYDELL
Thanks Vito.
VITO
No problem.
SFX: LANDLINE PHONE RING
RAYDELL
That's me, let me take this.
SERIOUS PIZZA-EATING CAN BE HEARD AS RAYDELL ANSWERS HIS
PHONE.
RAYDELL (cont'd)
(into phone)
Hello?... Hello?...
(upset)
It's you, isn't it?...
(upset)
How many times do I have to...
(to eaters)
Hey, can you guys bring it down a
bit?
THE EATING VOLUME DROPS.
RAYDELL (cont'd)
Thanks.
(into phone)
Now how many times do I have to
tell you to stop calling me?...
(angry)
So how'd you get this number?...
(calmer)
Oh.... You do?... I don't
believe it... Yeah, well
congratulations... Yeah. I gotta
go.
RAYDELL HANGS HIS PHONE UP.
KAYLA
That was Galacia, wasn't it?
RAYDELL
(shaken up)
Yeah.
VITO
Who's Galacia?
BARRY
Ray's crazy ex-wife.
TROY
She calls us all the time,
harassing mom.
KAYLA
Always playing on the phone.
DAVONNA
But how'd she get your new number?
RAYDELL
Well she's got a new job, with the
F.B.I.
SFX: DOOR BELL
BARRY
You want me to get that?
RAYDELL
No. I'll get it.
RAYDELL GOES AND OPENS THE FRONT DOOR. ON THE OTHER SIDE IS
A WOMAN WITH A GOLD TOOTH, DRESSED IN LEATHER PANTS AND
BOOTS.
GALACIA
Hi Ray.
RAYDELL
(shocked)
What are you doing here?
GALACIA
Just testing out my new FBI
surveillance gadget. Works pretty
good, right?
RAYDELL
Galacia, you have to go.
GALACIA
Looks like you've got a little
house warming party going on here.
RAYDELL
No. Just eating pizza with
family... and a friend.
GALACIA
I love pizza.
GALACIA STORMS INSIDE.
GALACIA (cont'd)
Hey everybody.
KAYLA
(not nice)
You're not welcome here.
GALACIA
Just popped in to say hi.
KAYLA
Hi and goodbye.
GALACIA
You're not going to offer me any
pizza?
KAYLA
We don't have enough.
GALACIA
Hey kids.
THE KIDS DON'T KNOW HOW TO REACT.
GALACIA (cont'd)
Nadine. Barry.
BARRY
Hey.
RAYDELL
This is our shirtless neighbor,
Vito.
VITO
(nervous)
Hi.
GALACIA
(uncomfortable)
...Hi. Is that a tattoo above
your--
VITO
(mesmerized)
Yes. It's a jet ski.
GALACIA
(confused)
...Okay.
(to Kayla)
Anyway Kayla, Raydell. I just
wanted to stop by and tell you, I
won't be bothering you guys
anymore.
KAYLA
You're doing it right now.
GALACIA
I've got a new man now. Name is
Kendrick. Works with me at the
Bureau.
KAYLA
(very happy)
That is good news. Somebody get
her some pizza.
WIDE-EYED VITO GIVES GALACIA A SLICE OF PIZZA.
VITO
Here you go.
GALACIA
Thanks Tito.
VITO
Vito. Vito Tang.
GALACIA
Sorry Vito Tang. Well, I guess
I'll just take this slice to go.
Nice seeing all of you again.
RAYDELL WALKS GALACIA TO THE DOOR.
KAYLA
Alright now. "Bon voyage." No more
calls or visits, okay?
GALACIA
(low volume)
It was really good seeing you
again, Ray.
RAYDELL
Well I'm glad you got yourself a
new single man.
GALACIA
I never said he was single.
RAYDELL
Well congratulations anyway.
GALACIA
(whispering)
Give me one last kiss.
RAYDELL
I can't do that.
GALACIA
(whispering)
How about a peck?
RAYDELL
No, but good luck with your new
job and your new man, Galacia.
GALACIA
Thanks.
GALACIA KISSES RAYDELL ON THE LIPS THEN RUNS.
RAYDELL
Hey!
TARRIN
She kissed Dad on the lips!
KAYLA
You'd better run, cow!
RAY CLOSES THE FRONT DOOR.
VITO
She's cute.
RAYDELL
Cute and crazy. Don't even waste
your time on that woman, Vito.
VITO
What's crazy about her?
RAYDELL
She just kissed me on the lips in
front of my wife then sprinted
down the street. And she keeps
calling our house every day. Me
and Kayla's been married for...
How old are you Troy?
TROY
(obviously
offended)
I'm seventeen.
RAYDELL
After seventeen years she still
calls me, keeps saying she wants
me back.
VITO
So it's more of an infatuation
then.
RAYDELL
Frame it however you want, the
picture is not pretty.
VITO
So who's kids are these? Yours or-
KAYLA
(defensive)
They're mine.
VITO
Which ones?
KAYLA
All of them!
VITO
But that little one--
KAYLA
(more stern)
All three!
VITO
Yes. Of course. So would it be too
weird if I asked Galacia out?
KAYLA
(excited/polite)
No. that wouldn't be weird at all.
I think you two would make a
wonderful couple. Right Ray?
RAYDELL
(unsure)
Yeah.
KAYLA
You're single and she's single.
NADINE
Like Shalomar says, "Make that
move."
VITO
Who?
NADINE
Never mind. She likes you, Vito.
VITO
How do you know?
NADINE
How do I know? Did you see how she
took that slice of pizza from you?
VITO
Not really.
NADINE
Well I did, and believe me, that
was very seductive.
VITO
She was seducing me?
NADINE
Yes Vito, yes. Galacia's actually
not crazy, she's very nice once
you get to know her.
KAYLA
I think she's already forgotten
all about that Kendrick guy at the
Bureau.
VITO
Man, I just can't stop thinking
about her. Those leather pants,
that gold tooth and the nappy
hair.
KAYLA
(offended)
For your information, it was
kinky, not nappy.
NADINE
We may not care for her
personally, but we must protect
our hair...
DAVONNA
Our culture...
KAYLA
And our dignity.
VITO
(confused)
Oh. But I heard that--
KAYLA
Forget what you heard. We're
trying to save your life, man!
VITO
Oh.
(understanding)
Thank you.
(beat. to
Raydell)
So how would I contact her?
RAYDELL
Next time she calls, I'll call
you.
VITO
Wow, feels like we've all been
friends for years. Hey Ray, maybe
we can go jet skiing sometime.
RAYDELL
Yeah sure. Just not in this
lifetime.
VITO BURSTS OUT LAUGHING.
VITO
You are very funny, Raydell Brave.
Hey, sorry, but I gotta go. I'm
starving.
RAYDELL
There's still some pizza left.
VITO
I hate pizza, but I'll see you
guys later. Let me know if you
need anything.
VITO EXITS.
RAYDELL
Later Vito.
KAYLA
He's crazy, she's crazy. It's a
match made in heaven.
