Finally Back Home Season 1 Episode 8: The Adjustment


ANDREW
Here we are, our home.

WYATT
You live with your parents?

ANDREW
They’re Josh’s parents. And I feel better about myself when I think about it as they live with us.

WYATT
You do have enough money to support me, right?

ANDREW
More than the last supporter had, that’s for sure.

WYATT
Steady job?

ANDREW
Odd questions for a little kid to ask, but yeah. Not a glamorous job, but it’s steady.

FRAN
Mine isn’t!

WYATT
Who are you?

FRAN
Grandmother! I mean, Grandma Fran! Actually, just call me Fran.

WYATT
Where should I put my stuff? Do I have a room?

JOSH
You can put your stuff in your room. And no, it didn’t used to be a bathroom, why do you ask?

BRIAN
You got rid of the bathroom?

JOSH
Only one of them. And it looks nothing like a bathroom anymore, other than the sink. You don’t mind having a sink in your room, do you?

WYATT
It’s an upgrade at least.

JOSH
That’s what I like to hear. The public school is just a few blocks away, an easy walk. But you’ll take the bus anyway. If we’re not here when you get home—

BRIAN
I’ll be here. I quit my job.

WYATT
What was your job?

ANDREW
If you want to think of him in a high regard then I don’t think you’d want to know.

WYATT
You were a stripper?!?!

BRIAN
No! A clown makeup artist.

WYATT
Oh. Yeah I didn’t need to know that.

BRIAN
You asked.

WYATT
So you’re going to be home all the time?

BRIAN
Maybe not all the time, I might go out every now and then but I promise to be back by 10am.

JOSH
School doesn’t get out until 2.

BRIAN
And?

JOSH
Whatever.

BRIAN
So Wired—

JOSH
Wyatt.

BRIAN
Ok. I can help you with your homework if you ever need help. You know, I used to be your age!

WYATT
I figured you were. And thanks.

BRIAN
Only one condition though.

WYATT
What is it?

BRIAN
You have to clean Fran’s room, it’s filthy in there!

FRAN
No he doesn’t! And it’s your room too, and mostly your stuff.

BRIAN
Agree to disagree. Fine, you don’t have to clean my room. I’ll have Andrew do it.

ANDREW
What?

BRIAN
You want the kid to do it instead?

ANDREW
No.

WYATT
When do I start school?

JOSH
Next week.

WYATT
As in Monday?

JOSH
I think.

WYATT
Thanks for taking me in, everyone.

FRAN
You’re welcome! I’ve always wanted a grandkid.

ANDREW
You have at least four others.

FRAN
I wanted a fifth or sixth!
