Written by William X. Fry and Michael LedesmaINT. HOME - DAY
Andrew is setting the table with an elaborate breakfast of pancakes. Sarah enters holding Christina who she puts in a highchair.
SARAH
What’s with the fancy breakfast?
ANDREW
Well, I thought since we’ve made it through most of the week with no incident, we should celebrate. With chocolate chip Pancakes.
SARAH
My favorite.
They start eating.
ANDREW
So, I was thinking, maybe we watch a movie tonight?
SARAH
That depends on the movie.
ANDREW
“Legally Blonde”.
SARAH
You would watch that?
ANDREW
You once called it a masterpiece.
SARAH
It is. But it doesn’t have light blades, or space stuff.
ANDREW
Well, It’s Lightsabers and besides maybe I need to expand my movie preferences.
SARAH
Okay, I’m down.
ANDREW
Great.
Andrew winces and holds his side.
SARAH
Are you okay?
ANDREW
Yeah. Just hurts a little. I think I slept in a weird position.
Later… that night.
INT. HOUSE - NIGHT
Andrew and Sarah sit on the couch watching “Legally Blonde”.
ANDREW
So, she’s gets into Harvard to get back with her boyfriend?
SARAH
Yes.
Yeah. Just hurts a little. I think I slept in a weird position.
Later… that night.

Yes.
ANDREW
That seems a little excessive.
SARAH
Oh hush.
ANDREW
I’ve had fun this week.
SARAH
Me too.
ANDREW
Taking care of Christina, it’s changed my mind about wanting children.
SARAH
Really?
ANDREW
Yeah. I need to stop worrying about being like my parents and more like being better than them.
SARAH
That’s good.
That seems a little excessive.

ANDREW
Sarah.
SARAH
Yeah.
ANDREW
Um…
Andrew can’t find the words.
ANDREW
Forget it.
SARAH
Andrew what is it?
ANDREW
It’s just… this week. It’s like all the bad stuff never happened. But it did. You were the best thing that happened to me. I never knew what happiness was until I met you.
Sarah smiles. She’s forgiven him. For everything. It doesn't matter what happened in the past. A new leaf has been turned over.
ANDREW
