A Family Affair
1. Int. Kitchen. Morning
We open on Spinner humming to himself while he's making breakfast. He's got 3 cookers going and is totally on top of it. It's clear that he enjoys cooking for his family. We go to a wider shot that shows Emma sitting with her 3 kids at the dinner table: Chrissy plus James, who's 5 and Adam, who's 2. James is eating cereal while Adam has already eaten. Emma keeps a watchful eye on them. Chrissy is playing a game on her phone. She's in her own little world and really into it.
Chrissy:
Come on, come on ...
Emma:
Are you winning?
Chrissy:
Not now, mom. I have to concentrate on this. Shit!
Emma:
Language!
Chrissy angrily puts her phone down on the table. She looks up at her mom.
Chrissy:
What? It's just a word. You hear kids say it at school all the time.
Spinner puts a big plate with bacon, eggs and hash browns in front of her. There looks to be enough for at least 3 people there.
Spinner:
Eat up, you're still growing.
Chrissy:
If I eat all this, I think I'll burst!
Emma:
Were not done talking, missy! Just because your friends say it, doesn't mean that you should, especially not in front of your brothers.
Chrissy:
Allright, I'm sorry! Can we let it go?
Emma:
You can swear all you want when you get your own place some day.
Spinner puts a gorgeous looking veggie breakfast in front of Emma and a breakfast similar to his daughters in his own spot. The doorbell rings. Chrissy jumps from her seat and goes to answer it.
Spinner:
What about your breakfast?
Chrissy:
It's just Lisa.
Chrissy leaves to go answer the door.
Emma:
So when's Eddy coming over?
Spinner:
Around noon. It'll be fun to jam again. It's been a while.
Emma:
I can't wait to see you on stage again.
Spinner:
It's not set yet. He has to see if I can still play.
James:
You can do it, daddy.
Emma:
See? With support like that, how can you fail?
Chrissy comes back in with Lisa Potter, an adorable 12 year old half African American, half Caucasian girl with glasses.
