Logan's Version

LV 4 (scene 19) - Drive The Last High

The scene opens with Logan answering a phone call in his bedroom. It turns out he's talking to Zoey - and he does not sound happy.
Logan: No, there's no way in the world I'm attending. (scoffs) Is Neil going to be there? Yes. Am I going to show up? No. (pause) Don't use that tone on me, young lady. I raised you [laugh track]. I'll think about it (he ends the call).
Tracy: (walks in from the kitchen) Dude, what's happened this time? Was Audrey making fun of Danny again?
Logan: Why do you ask that?
Tracy: That little girl's anger has no chance against Danny's firework family. Especially Sunny. She's the definition of "names can be deceiving" [laugh track]
Logan: That's uncomfortably ironic. But it's not what happened. Zoey told me we're having a high school reunion. My class, actually. And she's pleading with me to go for it, especially since I'm technically the more accomplished classmate.
Tracy: You should go for it. I'd give anything to go to mine, but I couldn't. Because, apparently, I was looking after all your children [laugh track].
Logan: Danny's yours, don't forget that [brief laugh track]. But you're right. I have to go. Besides, I get a break from juggling both babysitting and acting. And you, Madison, and Mario can come with me. Us adults. All alone without any hitches and enough room for ourselves...

Literally, the next day...
Logan: Camillo, what kind of car did you rent for me? (A blue Sienna is shown parked in the garage. However, the bonnet is open, and Camillo is shown fixing something in it. Logan and Tracy are
Camillo: Mr Logan, the car is perfect for your drive to and back to Denver.
Logan: If it were perfect, five bolts and nuts wouldn't have catapulted successfully every time you touched something [brief laugh track]
Tracy: Camillo, you were supposed to check if it had any faults. How could you forget such an important detail?
Camillo: OK, I'm offended right now. Are you trying to teach me my job? Cause, in my defence, I'm human. And I really don't know everything about being a manager [laugh track]
Logan: What made me hire you again? Cause it was definitely not Armanie's recommendation.
Tracy: I'm not supposed to say anything, but it's most likely your formerly broke lifestyle [another laugh track]
Camillo: (gasps in affirmation) I assumed the same thing, senorita.
Logan: (sarcastic) I have the best of friends.
Tracy/Camillo: Thanks, Liam. (Logan rolls his eyes as they share a "warm" hug) [laugh track]

The next afternoon...
The four adults are seen driving to Logan's high school reunion in a blue Sienna. Madison is driving with Logan at the front passenger seat. Tracy and Mario are in the back seat, being all lovey dovey, much to Logan and Madison's disgust. Just then, the car jerks forward as though it hid a road bump.
Tracy: Stop moving like that.
Logan: It's not intentional. Camillo rented the broke down car that Gayle talked about in her hit song [laugh track]
Tracy: (to Mario) You know, Mario? You're the cutest person I know
Mario: (to Tracy) But you're cuter that anyone I know
Tracy: (pouting) No, you are...
Mario: But babe, you are - (The car jerks forward again and they stop teasing each other. Logan smirks) Now that was intentional [brief laugh track]
Madison: (irritated) Can you both just quit it?!
Logan: I know I said there's enough room, but y'all are taking up the space I need to barf [laugh track]. (There's a sudden silence after Logan's statement. Both Logan and Madison are confused) Hey, why are you suddenly quiet?
Tracy: Logan, you know how you planned that only the four of us would go for your high school reunion?
Madison: Oh, no. Mario, I told you we can't babysit Aunt Griselda's cat this week! That cat has no conscience [brief laugh track]
Mario: (quivering) Let's just say the "cat" has actual night vision like most cats.
Tracy: And the cat is 4 feet tall. With a smile of an actual Cheshire cat.
Logan: What? Cats aren't four feet tall. We can all see that - (pause). See? C? Cats? (He widens his eyes in horror) CHILDREN?!! (He slams the brakes and the car tyres screech before stopping, making everyone at the back to hit their heads on the back of the car seats; Logan hits his on the steering wheel, while Madison just jerks forward as her seat belt holds her firmly) [laugh track]
Madison: Logan, I'm going to be honest. (She composes herself) Your children are never gonna grow on me [brief laugh track]
Logan: You could've waited till I asked if you were fine, but blame it on the innocent kids that snuck into our ride. (He looks back and widens his eyes) Dude, what are you wearing? (Danny is shown wearing a Cat-Noir costume and wearing an actual Cheshire Cat smile on his face [brief laugh track]. Jesse and Kelsea peek out from where they're hiding. Rudra grins nervously as he raises his head up as well).
Jesse: (nervously) Hey, Logan?
Rudra: Mr Logan, what a blessed evening we're having.
Logan: Don't act cute, little troublemaker [brief laugh track]
Kelsea: (sneers) That's why I'm Mr. Logan's favourite.
Madison: You're Nigel's favourite.
Mario: Why in the world did you sneak in here?
Tracy: To be fair, it's proper for Danny to do it. He's literally a street kid because that costume isn't even a copied prototype.
Danny: (sniffs it) I knew I couldn't trust Sunny to make that business deal [laugh track]
Logan: I'd expect all three of you, but Ruddy, why did you even follow?
Rudra: I was threatened.
Madison: By Danny?
Rudra: Jesse did it [brief laugh track]
Tracy/Madison/Mario: Jesse?!
Jesse: Mr Logan, everyone at home knows we all get irritated with Gabrielle's constant scolding. That's why we're on this unplanned joyride.
Tracy: Gabrielle's almost one.
Jesse: Exactly [brief laugh track]
Logan: Look, we just have to keep going. Jesse? Rudra? When we get back, we have a lot to talk about. Unless you can make this night a great reunion. Maybe I'll consider reducing the grounding to 2 weeks [laugh track]. (He ignites the car and exhales) Everyone, hold yourselves.
Kelsea: Why? (Logan steers forward, but they hit a road bump, right before they all hit their faces on something in front of them. Someone yelps in pain)
Logan: Why did I ask Camillo to rent a car for me? (turns to face everyone) Baby, are you OK?
Madison: (rubs her forehead) Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks for asking.
Logan: I was asking about Jesse [final laugh track] (Madison glares at him, but Logan shrugs). Well, high school reunion, here we come. (They hit another road bump before driving again, as the scene ends).
