EPISODE 66



THIS EPISODE BEGINS SEVERAL DAYS AFTER THE PREVIOUS EPISODE ENDED. IT IS NOW SEPTEMBER, 2003

SCENE ONE
(The scene is Peggy Walters' bedroom. Peggy is on the phone, and, as the saying goes, she is not a happy camper.)

PEGGY: What do you mean, the disks are no good? (Pause) Well, what is on them? (Pause) Just games? That's all you saw? Well, your cousin must have sent you the wrong software. (Pause) How soon can you get in touch with him? (Pause) Okay. I want the right software ASAP.

SCENE TWO

(The scene shifts to the squad room of the 2-3. Josie and Naomi are standing near the coffeepot and doughnuts. Josie is pouring a cup of coffee. Naomi is eating a chocolate-covered doughnut. Joe walks over.)

JOE: Good morning, Josie, Naomi

JOSIE: Good morning.

NAOMI: (swallowing doughnut) Good morning.

JOE: Dante started second grade yesterday. He told Paulina and me that he likes his new teacher a lot.

NAOMI: I'm glad to hear that, since his new teacher is my mother.

JOSIE: Is Dante's friend Bonnie in the same class?

JOE: Yes. She had to have a tutor, of course, because of the time she lost (hesitating)

JOSIE: Because of the accident. I know. Gary lives with it every day.

NAOMI: My mother said she's going to have Bonnie help her when they have art, because Bonnie's good at it, and (smiling) Mom isn't.

JOSIE: Oh, Joe, I wanted to talk to you about something.

JOE: What is it, Josie?

JOSIE: I was on the Recreational Computer the other day, after I finished my shift, and I noticed that some new games had been installed.

JOE: That's funny. I didn't install anything. Well, if someone wanted to add some new games, I guess there's no harm in it.

SCENE THREE

(The scene shifts to an undisclosed location. Brad is on the phone.)
BRAD: No, I did not make any mistake. (Pause) Yes, I know there are games on the disks. (Pause) No, it wasn't a mistake. The pictures are there. It just takes awhile to get to them. (Pause) Because it's better if it looks likes just your everyday games package. (Pause) Don't worry. I've got that part covered, too. (Pause) I've got a friend who is an expert on hacking into websites. (Pause) Exactly. Those doctored pictures are going to show up in the most unexpected places.
FADE OUT



SCENE FOUR
A FEW HOURS LATER.

(The scene shifts to a classroom at Bay City Elementary. Among the students are Dante, who is sitting in the second row, third seat, and Bonnie, who is at a table to accommodate her wheelchair. The name MRS. LEIBOWITZ is on the chalkboard.)

MRS. LEIBOWITZ: And we'll end each day with a chapter or two from some good book. (Dante raises his hand)Yes, Dante?

DANTE: What book are we going to read first, Mrs. Leibowitz?

MRS. LEIBOWITZ: It's a book I loved when I was a girl, and I read it again last week, just to make sure that it was as good as I remembered. I learned to do that after I began reading a book that neither my students nor I enjoyed. Now, the book we'll be starting off with is All-Of-A-Kind Family by Sydney Taylor

SCENE FIVE: CLOSING SCENE
SEVERAL HOURS LATER

(The scene shifts to the living room of the Bennet home. Dante is sitting on the couch. Bonnie is in her wheelchair. There is a computer in the room.)

DANTE: I'm glad your Mom asked me to stay for supper.

BONNIE: Do you want to play a game on the computer?

DANTE: Sure.

BONNIE: I know there's stuff you're not allowed to look at, but we've got it blocked.

DANTE: My parents block that stuff, too. And I'm not allowed to go to sites, even kids' sites, that let people post links.

BONNIE: Me neither, because sometimes people post bad stuff.

(Rita comes into the room)

RITA: Supper will be ready in about twenty minutes.

BONNIE: Okay. Me and Dante are going to play a game on the computer.

RITA: Dante and I.

BONNIE: (with that patience kids sometimes need to use with adults) Dante and I are going to play a game.

RITA: Have fun. Just remember the rules.

BONNIE: Okay, Mom.

(Rita leaves the room. Bonnie wheels herself over to the computer.)

DANTE: It's great the way you can wheel your own chair now.

BONNIE: Someday, when I'm old enough, I'm getting a motorized chair. (Turns on computer) You pick a game.

DANTE: Okay. (moves mouse, clicks on link) You go first.

BONNIE: My favorite game!

DANTE: I know.

BONNIE: (moves wheelchair in front of computer and starts to play. We hear beeps and bells.) Hey! Isn't that your Aunt Sofia?

DANTE: Yeah, it is. But how come she never told us they put her in a game?

BONNIE: I guess she wanted to surprise (gasps) What is she doing? (Dante looks at the computer. He turns, and we see a horrified look on his face, a look no child should ever have.)
