Finally Together Season 1 Episode 9: The House (TVRGO Throwback)



SETTING: JOSH and ANDREW, alone in a room.

ANDREW
What are we going to do?

JOSH
We have to take the house.

ANDREW
Why?

JOSH
Haven't you always wanted to start a family? No way any adoption agency is going to let us have a kid in the tiny apartment we live in now.

ANDREW
I suppose, but what about our jobs?

JOSH
We'll find new ones.

ANDREW
And how do we know that?

JOSH
Look, point is this is the perfect opportunity for us to really make an advancement in our lives. Plus, I'd love for my parents' house to stay in the family.

ANDREW
True. If you're willing then I'm willing, I guess.

SETTING: FRAN and BRIAN, alone in a different room

FRAN
How do you think they took the news?

BRIAN
First off, I'm fairly certain Catherine didn't hear us.

FRAN
How would you know that?

BRIAN
She didn't make some odd comment followed by what's-her-face trying to correct her.

FRAN
Britney 2?

BRIAN
We should really learn our grandkids' names.

FRAN
I'm serious. It's Britney 2. We've been through this before. Anyway, let's just wait and see what they say. Either way, Poland is really calling my name.

SETTING: DAVID and MARY alone, outside

DAVID
That house was supposed to be ours.

MARY
What?

DAVID
I was always Mom's favorite kid growing up.

MARY
What do you want me to do about it?

DAVID
Just wait. You know Josh doesn't have the guts to accept the house. Plus, I need to leave my job.

DREW
And be unemployed? Nice try.

DAVID
Where'd you come from??

DREW
I was hanging out by Aunt Catherine and Uncle William. Julian was with me.

MARY
I'm so sorry.

DREW
I'm pretty sure there plan is to just not leave here.

MARY
That's ridiculous, they weren't even offered the house. And why would they want it?

DREW
I don't know but they seem pretty mad.

SETTING: Everyone gathered together in the living room.

JOSH
We've made our decision. Mom, Dad, thanks for offering the house. We can't wait to be able to move in.

CATHERINE
CRAP!

BRITNEY 2
Not a bad swear? I'm proud of you Mom.

WILLIAM
That's it, try to make us leave. 

BRIAN
This didn't go over the way we expected did it?

CHRIS
Wait...why did everyone want this house so bad?

FRAN [to BRIAN]
He doesn't know?

BRIAN [to FRAN]
Apparently not.

FRAN
Chris...you see...I have no clue.
