Finally Back Home Season 1 Episode 5: Change In Plans


OPEN: DOCTORS’ OFFICE WAITING ROOM

FRAN
Look at me, getting a new job.

JOSH
It had to be here?

FRAN
Of course! We can spend some more mother-son time!

JOSH
Just what I wanted.

FRAN
I know, we agreed to stay out of each other’s business, but it’s better than not having a job. We need to pay for the house somehow.

ANDREW
That’s true. And we need to pay for the kid.

JOSH
Okay every time you say that it sounds even weirder. 

ANDREW
Doesn’t make it any less true.

FRAN
Although, I could do without the crying kid.

ANDREW
Happens a lot. Probably getting blood work done, or maybe they were just told they need to eat more green stuff.

JOSH
Sounds louder this time.

ANDREW turns around.

ANDREW
Oh look, it’s Brian making a kid cry.

BRIAN
Make it stop!

FRAN
I promise you guys that he’ll be better with your kid.

BRIAN
Kid? How’d that happen?

JOSH
Adoption. We’ve told you many times.

BRIAN
Your first test is to get this kid to be quiet.

ANDREW
Fine.

ANDREW makes a silly face at the kid. The kid smiles.

ANDREW
There.

FRAN
Andrew, that was great! When is the adoption?

ANDREW
In a couple weeks.

JOSH
Anyways there are like 20 people in this waiting room, are you sure you told someone they’re here?

FRAN
I’m supposed to do that?

JOSH
It’s most of your job.

FRAN
Uh oh. Guess there will be a little backlog today.

ANDREW
I can’t believe I actually miss Doris.

FRAN
Tell you what. I’ll get a job at a nurse. That way, you don’t see me as much.

JOSH
How would you become a nurse? You don’t have the qualifications for that!

FRAN [yelling]
Doctor Whiskers! I have a question!

DOCTOR WHISKERS
What is it Doris? Wait—who are you?

FRAN
Fran, the new receptionist. Doris quit. Do you have a job opening as a nurse?

DOCTOR WHISKERS
Sure.

FRAN
Can I be a nurse?

DOCTOR WHISKERS
I don’t see why not. Josh, you’re receptionist now, having two people be the waiting room entertainers is kind of redundant.

JOSH
It’s very redundant.

DOCTOR WHISKERS
You know what? You’re right. Andrew, you’re Assistant Nurse now.

ANDREW
Why am I not surprised?
