Scene 1:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Snyder House
SIMON FRASIER, CARLY SNYDER, PARKER, J.J., SAGE
>> Carly: You're welcome to come to the drive-in with us if you want to, but I should warn you -- I have a suspicion it may not be your style.
>> Simon: Listen, as long as it takes my mind off of Katie doing the Kama Sutra, it's all good.
>> Carly: But we're not bitter.
>> Simon: Us? Bitter? No way, not us. So the drive-in it is --
>> Parker: I call front seat!
>> J.J.: No fair!
>> Carly: Boys --
>> Parker: I got dressed first!
>> J.J.: But I had to help Sage!
>> Simon: All right, wait, I'm a little confused. Does the drive-in involve staying in or going out?
>> Carly: Oh, going out.
>> Simon: But --
>> Carly: Oh, well, wearing pajamas is a necessary part of the experience.
>> Simon: Ah. Well, you see, I forgot mine. Do you have a spare pair I could borrow, at all?
>> Carly: Simon's going to come to the movies with us.
>> Parker: Does he have to?
Scene 2:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Snyder House
SIMON FRASIER, CARLY SNYDER, PARKER, J.J., SAGE
>> Parker: I thought it was just us.
>> Carly: Parker, you're being rude.
>> Simon: No, no, no. He's just being honest, that's all. Aren't you, mate? And the truth is, since you asked, no, I don't have to come, but I was just curious. That's all, see. See, I was wondering, 'cause I'm not from around here -- what exactly was it we're driving into? I mean, if you and I could take turns at the wheel, that's all, because I once drove into a house, and that was fun, but I always wanted to drive into a pool.
>> Parker: You don't drive in to a pool. You drive in to the movies.
>> Simon: Right through the screen? They allow that? Wow, what a fabulous country.
>> Parker: No, you drive into a parking lot and you watch a movie on the big screen.
>> Simon: Oh. All right, what if it rains?
>> Parker: You don't go when it rains.
>> Simon: Well, I wouldn't have thought of that -- having never been to a drive-in before. This is going to be great.
>> J.J.: I call front seat! I helped Sage find her slippers.
>> Parker: I got dressed first!
>> Carly: Hey. You know something boys, we don't have to go at all. Mmm, that's what I thought. Now march outside, get in the car, and all three of you, get in the back seat -- and not a word.
>> Simon: Whoa. You remind me of my mom.
>> Carly: Yeah, not exactly what I'm going for.
>> Simon: No, no. Tough -- tough, but fair. I like that.
>> Carly: Well, I have to be. I'm outnumbered. You know, about this movie thing -- maybe it's not such a good idea if you come.
>> Simon: Oh, come on. You promised to take my mind off Katie.
>> Carly: I know.
>> Simon: And I promise you, by the time those kids are home, upstairs in bed? You'll not be sorry.
Scene 3:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Drive-In Theater
SIMON FRASIER, CARLY SNYDER, PARKER, J.J., SAGE
>> Simon: So the movie's going to be on the big screen up there?
>> J.J.: Yeah, and we're really lucky 'cause we got the best parking spot.
>> Simon: Wow.
>> Carly: There's not a huge audience for musicals starring barnyard animals. Hey, who wants popcorn?
>> All: Me!
>> Carly: Okay.
>> Simon: All right, you've got to fill me in here -- so when the movie actually starts, do we -- what, we just make up the lines?
>> J.J.: No. You hear it over there on that speaker.
>> Simon: Oh. See, I thought we were going to have to lip read.
>> Carly: Juice boxes, anyone?
>> J.J.: Me!
>> Parker: Me!
>> Carly: All right.
>> Carly: Hey Parker, help Sage with her straw.
>> J.J.: It's starting.

Scene 4:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Drive-In Theater
SIMON FRASIER, CARLY SNYDER, PARKER, J.J., SAGE
>> Simon: Do you think they sell coffee at that little stand that we passed on the way in?
>> Carly: Probably. I suppose so. Why?
>> Simon: Oh, good. Do you mind getting me a cup?
>> Carly: Sure, yeah. Anything for you.
>> Simon: Great. Thank you. So what's going on, buddy? Why'd you feel the need to plant yourself between me and your mom? I like honest, remember?
>> Parker: Well, I want to know what you want with her.
>> Simon: Well, I want to work with her, because I think she's very talented. And, I want to be her friend because I think she's a good person and a lot of fun.
>> Parker: Good.
>> Simon: But that's it. That's it.
>> Parker: Keep it that way.
Scene 5:

Scene: Snyder House
SIMON FRASIER, CARLY SNYDER, PARKER, J.J., SAGE
>> Simon: Why did they have to kill the lamb's mother? You missed a great flick.
>> Carly: Oh, I'm sorry. I feel asleep. I'm just so tired.
>> Simon: No, not to worry. Oh, the cow saves the day.
>> Carly: You're a good sport, you know that?
>> Simon: What are you talking about? I had a great time.
Scene 6:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Snyder House
SIMON FRASIER, CARLY SNYDER, PARKER, J.J., SAGE
>> Carly: Hey, J.J., Would you show Simon where Sage's bed is, please?
>> J.J.: Yeah, follow me.
>> Carly: Did you have a good time, honey?
>> Parker: It was okay. It wasn't as fun as last time.
>> Carly: Yeah, I'm so sorry I fell asleep. We can go and see it again if you want to.
>> Parker: No. It's more of a Sage movie.
>> Carly: Oh, right. A little too young for you, huh?
>> Parker: And for Simon.
>> Carly: It was okay having him with us, right?
>> Parker: It was okay.
>> Carly: Well, that's good. Because, you know, he's my boss and I really wanted to make him feel comfortable.
>> Simon: All right, all tucked in.
>> Carly: Thanks. So, would you like a cup of coffee or something?
>> Simon: Ah, you know what? No, I'll call it a night. I better hit the road, but I'll see you at work tomorrow?
>> Carly: Bright and early.
>> Parker: Good night.
>> Simon: Good night, buddy.
>> Carly: Thank you.
>> Simon: You're welcome.
