FADE IN: INT. MCCOY KITCHEN
LUKE AND KATE ARE SEATED AT THE KITCHEN TABLE.
LUKE
Listen, Sugar-Babe, I am at a loss to know how to handle that son of ours.
KATE
Se don't have a son. If you're talking about Little Luke he's your brother!
LUKE JUST LOOKED QUIZZICALLY AT KATE.
KATE
Yeah! Luke and Little Luke! Brothers! I don't get it either.
LUKE
Well, Little Luke is our son in this episode.
Anyway, he's running wild these days ... yelling at every teenage girl in the
countryside, following sheep around ... I mean, what do we do now?
KATE
Well, Luke. He's a male. You're his daddy - in this episode. You just have to handle this.
LUKE
(looking lost, then ...)
Hey! What if I started to act as goofy as he does. Maybe then he will see
how foolish it is to be acting that way. Huh? Good idea?
KATE
Well, just make sure you're done by supper. I got an expensive roast cookin'.
LUKE THROWS KATE A "WHAAAAT!" LOOK AS HE LEAVES.
CUT TO: LATER. LITTLE LUKE'S ROOM
LITTLE LUKE IS PERUSING HIS HIGH SCHOOL YEARBOOK, CIRCLING THE GIRLS HE FINDS PARTICULARLY FOXEY.
LUKE
Ah, son, I want to tell you something. For a while now I have had the hots for
Brenda Ray in your class. I hope she is not someone who you're going after too.
LITTLE LUKE
(absorbed in his photo collection)
LUKE
I said that for a while now I have had the real hots for
Brenda Ray in your class. What do you think of that?
LITTLE LUKE
(still not paying attention)
Ok. Brenda Ray. Whatever ...
LUKE SLAMS HIS HAND DOWN ON LITTLE LUKE'S DESK TOP.
LUKE
Gol' durn it, pay attention to me, boy! I am trying to demonstrate to you
how silly your recent puberty-driven actions have been.
LITTLE LUKE
(turning to face Luke)
Gol' durn? Isn't that Grampa's patented euphemism? Since when
did you start to say it too?
LUKE
(siezing the opportunity)
Since I have, myself, reentered puberty, only from the back side.
LITTLE LUKE
LUKE
I guess so, since I am there with you now!
LITTLE LUKE
(looking at his father/brother as somewhat of a wierd-o)
You? With me? I think not. I am here alone.
LUKE
Well, I just thought that you'd like some company.
LITTLE LUKE
(beat)
Don't let the door hit you on the way out, father/brother.
