12. INT STUDY ROOM, 20:10 NIGHT DAY 2

JACK AND HIS DAD ARE IN THE STUDY, LOOKING AT ALL THE TESTS THEY HAVE CONDUCTED. JACK HAS ON HIS LAB COAT AND GOGGLES.

JACK:

Dad do you see anything?....

JACK'S DAD SHAKES HIS HEAD.

(Pointing)

What about that one?

DAD:

No....nothing yet. I just don't know why it's not responding. I have tried this quite a few times and I keep getting the same result.

JACK:

Maybe we should change the environment, you know take it outside and see what happens, that could work.

DAD:

Maybe, but I really don't have anymore time left. This was going to be the big news I was going to show everyone at work tomorrow.

JACK'S DAD WALKS OVER TO HIS DESK, SHAKES HIS HEAD AND TAKES OFF HIS LAB COAT.

JACK:

But dad you can't give up.

DAD:

I'm not, but I will have to put it away for now and get on with something that will work.

JACK:

Okay, but I really think it will work if we move it to a different place or if I can be the guinea pig.

DAD: (Frustrated)

Jaaaack, that is not going to happen. I might think about taking it out of its environment but that's it.

JACK:

Ok, dad. I think I'll go to bed now. I have a test tomorrow.

DAD:

Ok good, what's the test.

JACK:

It's a PE test.

DAD:

They test you on PE?

JACK'S DAD SHAKES HIS HEAD IN DISMAY

JACK:

Yep, goodnight.

DAD:

Goodnight.
