Logan's Version

Logan's Version (scene 7) - Sister sitter issues

Zoey is in the living room, sipping a cup of warm tea while answering a phone call. Meanwhile, Michael is asleep on the couch.
Zoey: Oh, no, Clara, I'm extremely busy today. U have to reschedule (pause). Then, tell the producer that I need my well-deserved rest; It's a beautiful day (laugh track; Zoey wears a surprised look). Oh, if you're the producer, then I can assure you I did not mean any of those things I said (laugh track. There's a knock on the door) Can I call u back? I need to take this call.
Michael: (suddenly stands up) I'll get it (Zoey stares in wonder as to how the door woke Michael up - considering the fact he's a deep sleeper. Meanwhile, Michael opens the door, and it's revealed to be a young girl of about 6 years)
Michael: (bluntly) You're not supposed to be here (laugh track)
Zoey: (indignantly, walking to the door) Michael, that is very rude. Let me (to girl) Hey, little girl. What's your name?
Girl: (proudly) I'm Princess Gemma, Michael's sister.
Zoey: (grinning) Michael, u didn't tell me u had a sister. And who brought you here? (A car drives off in the distance)
Gemma: My parents, they say I'm your problem now (laugh track, while Michael rolls his eyes in annoyance, while Zoey shoots a glare at her)
Michael: Wake me up when it's someone else (he goes back to the couch, with Gemma following as well)
Zoey: That is not a polite way of answering what I asked -
Gemma: They asked me to hand u this (gives a cash-filled envelope to Zoey)
Zoey: (gleams) But I'll take this instead. Still need to work on your manners, though (laugh track)
Michael: (to Gemma) Can u at least sit there?
Zoey: Michael, be nice to your sister. She paid a lot of money for me to watch the two of you
Michael: (annoyed) My mom brought the money
Zoey: Which Gemma took and handed to me (scoffs). Think, Michael, think. (laugh track while Michael stares in confusion. Zoey picks up her phone to make another phone call)
Logan: (yawns while entering the living room) Hey, Zoey. Is Michael awake?
Zoey: (glances briefly at Michael, who's supposedly sleeping) I could say, yes?
Logan: Speaking of Michael, I had a dream that we got to watch another kid that looked like Michael, but younger (quiet laugh track)
Zoey: Well, Logan, that dream is sitting here in the living room. Apparently, it's a problem now (points at Gemma, quiet laugh track)
Gemma: Morning, Mr Logan (laugh track as Logan slowly turns to face the owner of the voice in surprise)
Logan: Gemma, how are u?
Gemma: (grinning) I'm fine (knock on the door)
Michael: (stands up) Please be someone that isn't Gemma
Gemma: Yeah, someone whose name isn't Michael either, because that will be a real bummer (gives an idc look, while Michael goes to open the door)
Zoey: (astonished) Bummer? How did she pronounce bummer correctly?
Logan: Bummer's just a tiny word. Two years ago, one of my kids told me that I sing with the voice of a tired correspondent. Spoiler alert, he's 2 years old (laugh track)
Zoey: Man, kids these days are like way smart for their age. And they actually know the meaning of those words. Just like Brooke, the little girl on set
Logan: Oh, don't go there, she's worse (laugh track)
Michael: (opens the door. It's revealed to be Trevor and a 10 year old girl. Excitedly) Trevor Mars?!
Zoey: (surprised) Hey, Trevor. I didn't know u were coming over
Trevor: It was urgent. I gotta take my grandma to the hospital, and my sister here is scared of injections (introducing Zoey to sis). Zoey, this is Quinn.
Logan: Hey, look. I didn't know Trevor Mars and the Quinn of Harts are related [brief laugh track]
Quinn: (dryly) Wow, how hilarious [another laugh track]
Trevor: And Quinn, she'll be with u till I get back. OK?
Quinn: OK. But take a shower first. We do not want everyone thinking u hiding a sick person in your room again (laugh track)
Trevor: Hey, Logan. (brings out money) I've got some cash to pay for the day
Zoey: Oh, don't worry about that. U need not do so. This one's on the house
Logan: (snatches the money) Absolutely not. This house is empty as it is (laugh track). And Trevor, do not do anything crazy
Zoey: (rolls eyes) Geez, Logan. (Turns to Trevor) Just ignore him. He's just being protective like every annoying brother in the world
Quinn: Tell me about it, they're the funniest people I've ever seen. Worse, I got 4 of them. (Both Trevor and Logan glare at Zoey and Quinn)
Logan: (sarcastic) Yes, we get it. We're right here (laugh track)
Trevor: (checks time on his phone) I gotta go now, bye babe
Zoey: Bye, Trev (Trevor leaves while Zoey closes the door) U know, Logan, now that I remember. I need u to help me with Mrs Harper, the producer. I can't go today cause I'm exhausted. Please, go instead of me
Logan: (exhales) Man, is this "help your sister" day, and I wasn't told? (laugh track)
Zoey: As the older one, yes (quiet laugh track)
Logan: Why am I going instead of you?
Zoey: Because I did the Logan thing on the phone this morning, and she was this close to getting upset (laugh track)
Logan: What did u say?
Zoey: I overreacted without realizing she wasn't Clara
Logan: (surprised) OK, that is something I would do, so you're excused [laugh track]. Fine, I'll go
Zoey: Thanks
Logan: (whispers to Zoey) But just as to be safe, please make sure Gemma & Michael are still on good terms before they go home
Zoey: Why "still"?
Logan: Watch (brings out a baseball from literally nowhere). Gemma, catch!
Michael: (angrily) Are you trying to hurt my sister? (brings out a pack of pencils from Gemma's bag and starts to throw them randomly at Logan)
Logan: (amidst pencil shoots) It's just a game (angrily) Michael, SIT! (laugh track as Michael sits, still glaring at Logan)
Zoey: Sit?
Logan: That's a story for another scene (laugh track, walks toward the room)
Zoey: (smiles) Seeing what he did makes me thank u for looking out for me, always, even when I don't need it
Logan: You're my sis. Some things have to be done to help
Zoey: Don't you mean anything to help?
Logan: Oh, I'm not falling for that again (enters the room amidst laugh track and applause, while Zoey rolls her eyes in annoyance. The scene closes with Michael and Gemma playing with toys and Quinn, who's reading a novel).
