Finally Back Home Season 1 Episode 7: The Kid


SETTING: House, after work

BRIAN
So, the kid’s really coming home today?

ANDREW
Yep.

BRIAN
Does he have a name?

ANDREW
Wyatt.

BRIAN
Why what?

ANDREW
That’s his name. Wyatt.

BRIAN
Oh! OK. Hold old did you say he was again? 28?

ANDREW
Nope, 7. I’m really not sure how you got 28 because we’ve been over this.

BRIAN
I’ll remember this time.

FRAN
Brian, you’re not gonna be the first one to see the kid. I have an agreement with Josh and Andrew.

BRIAN
Fine by me, you can see him first.

FRAN
Good.

ANDREW
You both realize someone needs to meet with him at the adoption center, right?

FRAN
Of course! I’ll be there after work.

JOSH
That’s too late.

FRAN
Then how about this: I’ll be there when you tell me to be there. Deal?

JOSH
That’s what we’ve been getting at, yeah.

FRAN
What time do you want me there?

ANDREW
Let’s see...they want us there at 10pm so I guess in a couple hours.

JOSH
Why would they want us there at 10pm? That seems pretty late.

ANDREW
Let me check...oops, yeah, 10am.

JOSH
Are you kidding me?

ANDREW
I’m sure they’ll understand! Just a classic time mixup.

JOSH
They already aren’t too into us.

FRAN
YOU RUINED MY GRANDCHILD!!

ANDREW
Relax!

FRAN
I WON’T RELAX!

ANDREW
Let’s just go now.

ANDREW, JOSH, BRIAN, and FRAN get into a car and go to the adoption center.

JOSH
Locked.

ANDREW
There's a kid on the bench outside. Let's see if it's him!

FRAN
Don't you dare. I'm gonna be the first to see him.

FRAN leaves the car and approaches the kid.

FRAN
What's your name?

KID
STRANGER DANGER!

FRAN
Oh no! Are you--crap, I'll be right back.

FRAN goes back to the car.

FRAN
What's his name again?

BRIAN
Graham.

ANDREW
Wyatt! Don't listen to him.

JOSH
Actually his middle name is Graham, but that was a lucky guess.

FRAN approaches the kid again.

FRAN
Wyatt Graham?

WYATT
What?

FRAN
I'm Fran, Josh and Andrew's mom.

WYATT
Oh, the guys who ditched me?

FRAN
They didn't ditch you, they were given the wrong time.

WYATT
That sadly sounds believable. Where are they?

FRAN
In the car. [Yelling] GET OUT HERE JOSH AND ANDREW.

BRIAN [Yelling]
CAN I COME?

FRAN [Yelling]
SURE!

JOSH, ANDREW, AND BRIAN approach FRAN and WYATT. WYATT hugs JOSH and BRIAN.

JOSH
I'm not much of a hugger but glad to see you don't hate me yet.

BRIAN
Same.

ANDREW
No hug for me?

WYATT
I was just gonna hug my dads but sure.

ANDREW
You think I'm the grandpa?

WYATT
I mean...kind of.

ANDREW
I'm your other dad.

JOSH
Nice Andrew, already asserting yourself as other dad.

WYATT
So, are we gonna get going? It's kind of cold and dark out.

FRAN
Yeah. Let's go.
