FADE IN: INT. LIVING ROOM
MARGARET
Oh, Jim. What the (censored) are we going to
do? We can't go (censored)
on like this! See?! See?! Now I'm
beginning to use that (censored) language!
JIM
Margaret! Margaret! It's not that (censored)
bad. I think we are surely adult enough and in (censored)
control enough to not succumb to that. No, come on. Get a
(censored) hold of yourself. Have you seen Betty?
MARGARET
(censored) no, not lately.
JIM
BETTY REPLIES FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE IN THE HOUSE.
BETTY
(shouting)
YES? FATHER, IS THAT YOU?
JIM
(shouting)
A COUPLE OF SECONDS LATER, BETTY COMES DOWNSTAIRS.
JIM
Betty, what the (censored) do you know about
a stack of important papers I had sitting here on this
(censored) table yesterday?
BETTY
Why, (censored) nothing, Father. I haven't
seen any (censored) papers at all. Honest.
JIM
Okay, Betty. I (censored) believe you. Have you
seen Kitten?
BETTY
I think she's outside playing in the (censored) yard. (Censored).
JIM
Please call he in for me, will you? I need to (censored)
speak to her about those (censored) papers.
BETTY GOES TO THE FRONT DOOR, OPENS IT AND SHOUTS TO KITTEN.
BETTY
(shouting)
HEY CATHY!
Get your (censored) self in here. Father wants to (censored) ask you something.
IN A SHORT WHILE CATHY, AKA KITTEN, APPEARS AT THE (CENSORED) FRONT DOOR.
CATHY
What the (censored) is it, Daddy?
JIM
Kitten, have you messed with some (censored) papers
I had laying on this (censored) table yesterday?
CATHY
No sir. I haven't seen any (censored) papers at all.
I'm just a (censored) little girl. You (censored) know.
JIM IS NOT SURE WHAT THAT LAST COMMENT WAS SUPPOSED TO (CENSORED) MEAN, BUT PRESSES (CENSORED) ON.
JIM
Well, that only leaves (censored) Bud. Where is he?
BETTY
Just a second. Just a (censored) second. How was (censored) Mother (censored) absolved?
JIM
Betty! How dare you curse at your (censored)
mother! Now you apologize this (censored) instant!
BETTY
Sorry, Mother. It's that (censored) Bud thing though.
It's got us all saying (censored) things we would
normally only say off (censored) air.
JIM
(censored) Betty's right. I think it's time we got rid of the problem
at it's (censored) source. Where is Bud? Anyone (censored) know?
CATHY
I saw him working on his (censored) car a few minutes ago.
JIM
He's got a (censored) car?!
(beat)
Betty, go lock the (censored) door! Quickly!
BETTY RUNS OVER AND SHUTS AND LOCKS THE DOOR.
JIM
There. (censored) problem (censored) solved! Let's eat
some (censored) lunch! Come on!
THE (CENSORED) HAPPY ANDERSON FAMILY (CENSORED) ALL WALK TO THE (CENSORED) KITHEN.
