Ray's Picture

INT. 69 BRIDGE STREET, HOME OF THE FAMILY GENOB, KITCHEN – LATE MORNING

DENISE is SAT at the TABLE with his FAVOURITE BREAKFAST. The room is QUITE whilE DENISE enjoys his meal.

DAD ENTERS the room, he APPROACHES the KITCHEN CUPBOARDS to collect the same meal as DENISE.

DAD

Morning Monkey

DAD sits down at the TABLE END CLOSEST to DENISE. It goes quite again, except the sound of DENISE and DAD EATING their BREAKFAST.

DAD FINISHES his BREAKFAST before DENISE. He RELAXES and STARES at DENISE. DENISE is still eating

RAY ENTERS the KITCHEN. How to describe Ray – An early TEEN, though LARGE in Body weight of an standard ADULT. HE WEARS LARGE JACKETS INDOORS to cover up his fat from others.

RAY APPROACHES the KITCHEN CUPBOARDS to collect his FAVOURITE BREAKFAST. MEANWHILE DAD STARES at him constantly. DENISE is still eating

RAY SITS right next to DENISE at the TABLE. DENISE is still eating

DAD

Ray, your fat, admit it

RAY STOPS eating and STARES straight at DAD ANGERLIY

DAD

I wouldn’t mind admitting this

because I don’t see you do anything

else

RAY

What do you mean

DAD SITS UP in his chair, as if READYING himself for a statement. DENISE sits up from his CHAIR to LISTEN as well.

DAD

I mean that I wouldn’t mind your weight if you were more preoccupied with something else, like drawing, your not bad at that. However nowadays you only seem interested in just getting fat, so I got to encourage  you now to start the most basic thing, sports, and I know how reluctant you are with that

RAY is less ANGER with DAD and ASHAMED with himself now.

RAY

Is getting fat the only thing you think I do?

DAD

I don’t know, at the moment yes, you haven’t got a bad metabolism, yet some how you seem to get larger, that’s the only thing I ever notice in you.

For a BREIF moment RAY DOESN’T know what to say.

RAY

What do you expect me to do then?

DAD

Well, like I said Ray, do sports, the only thing I can advise you to do nowadays, I don’t see you do anything else.

RAY has heard enough. He TAKES his BREAKFAST  and GOES to his ROOM. DAD RIGHTFULLY SAYS nothing.
