HOUSEWIFE
No, no, we’re fifty-fifty in this.
In fact, we should call your mom
and we can all go down there
together.
Angela pulls back.
ANGELA
She works. Pretty late.
HOUSEWIFE
How ’bout your dad?
ANGELA
(ashamed)
He — he doesn’t live with us
anymore. You know, it’s okay.
I’m supposed to be home anyway.
HOUSEWIFE
No, no, no. We’re in this fifty-
fifty.
The Housewife stops to think — what to do? Then she
turns to see a bank ATM across the street.
109 EXT. BANK ATM – SECURITY CAMERA POV 109
The Housewife uses the ATM; Angela’s feet are barely IN
FRAME behind her. Angela very consciously keeps OUT OF
the CAMERA’S RANGE.
110 EXT. ACROSS STREET 110
Roy watches from inside his Caprice.
ROY
Good girl, watch the cameras.
111 AT ATM 111
The Housewife hands Angela three crisp $100s.
HOUSEWIFE
That’s three hundred. Don’t spend
it all at the coin-op. And hide
it when you get home. Don’t let
those brothers of yours anywhere
near it.

ANGELA
(touched)
Thank you.
HOUSEWIFE
&nb
sp; Thank you, sweetie.
They hug again.
112 EXT. LAUNDROMAT 112
Angela exits with her backpack full of laundry, waves
goodbye once more to the Housewife, then rounds a corner
to find Roy waiting for her, out of sight.
ANGELA
Did I do good?
ROY
You did very good.
She leaps in the air.
ANGELA
Mom was wrong: I didn’t just get
your elbows.
ROY
One last thing…
ANGELA
Uh-huh?
ROY
Go give her her money back.
ANGELA
What?!
ROY
I told you I’d teach you a con, I
didn’t say I’d let you get away
with it.
ANGELA
C’mon! You’re joking.
ROY
(shakes his head)
Now.

112 CONTINUED: 112
ANGELA
(can’t believe it)
This is so…
Roy points: go. Petulantly, Angela stalks back inside.
Roy watches through a glass wall as she hands the money
back to the Housewife, utterly befuddled.
113 INT. CAPRICE – DAY 113
Driving Angela home.
ROY
I have one question for you. And
I want you to think before
answering.
(as she nods okay)
Did you feel better when you took
her money, or when you gave it
&
nbsp; back?
(before she answers)
Think first.
Angela thinks.
ANGELA
I thought we were partners.
ROY
I’m not your partner. I’m your
father.
Angela puts her feet up on the dash. Roy doesn’t mind.
