Int.Household.Night
Blake is at home, sitting in the lounge room, watching T.V. When Alexis comes home, walking through the door. She asks him how he is, then offers to cook him some dinner. He refuses her offer, and continues to watch T.V. Alexis comes into the lounge room and attempts to have a civilized conversation with Blake about the days events. Blake does not want to talk, and lets her know that she would not understand, and that she does not get it. He excuses himself and goes up stairs, wanting to get some sleep.
ALEXIS1
Alexis comes home from work.
She parks the car.
Sits in it for a few moments to regain her composure.
The heads towards the house.2
BLAKE3
Inside the house
Sitting on the sofa
Watching T.V
But is not actually watching.
Is staring into space.
ALEXIS4
Walks slowly up the steps.
Unlocks the door.
Takes a deep breath.
Walks through the door
BLAKE5
Looks up, back to reality
He sees Alexis
Grunts, and pretends to watch T.V6
ALEXIS7
Locks the door.
Hangs her coat on the wrack.
Walks into the hall.
Stepping into the lounge room.
Watches Blake.8
So I see you didn't go home with the young lady then.9
BLAKE10
Sighs
Rolls his eyes.
Tries to ignore her.
Switches the channel.11
ALEXIS12
Damn it
Mutters under her breath
Cool, keep cool13
Tries to change the subject.14
So I was thinking how about we go and pick up some Chinese.
I know how much you love Chinese?.
We can get some prawn crackers if you like.15
BLAKE16
Shakes his head.
Switching the channel again.17
I'm not hungry.18
ALEXIS19
Did you eat already then?20
BLAKE21
Annoyed, turns up the volume
Trying to block her out.
ALEXIS22
Blake, answer me.
Have you already eaten?
Did you eat with that woman.?23
BLAKE24
Turns towards her
Anger in his eyes.
Fist white, clenching the remote.25
I said I'm not hungry
Screams
And no, no thanks to you I couldn't even do that.
She left me.
And you know why Dad?
You want to know why she freaking left me?26
ALEXIS27
looks hurt that he called her his father.
Nods
Walking slowly closer towards him.28
I'm all ears.29
BLAKE30
Tears start to fall down his eyes.
Throws the remote control to the floor.
Clenches teeth.31
She left me because I am a mummy's boy.
A God damn fucking Mummy's boy.
I don't see how that works at all, when your not my mother
I don't even see my Mother.
I've never fucking seen my mother really.
So tell me Dad how the fuck can I be a mummy's boy.
Come on tell me.
ALEXIS32
fights back tears.33
We have been through this before Blake.
I am a woman.
I am your mother.
Not your father.34
BLAKE35
Stands up.
Throws his hands up in the air.36
When the fuck are you going to see it.
Accept it dad your not a woman.
You will never be a woman.
Your God damn to fucking ugly to be a woman.
Your just a fucking fagot.
Admit it.
Get over it.
So we can all move on
Screams37
ALEXIS38
Stands up.
Her hands by her side.39
Voice changes to deep booming masculine voice
I am a woman Blake
I am your mother.
How dare you insult me like that.
Now I might not be the perfect mother
Puts emphasis on perfect mother
But I sure as hell am a better mother than you god damn fucking penny.40
BLAKE41
You just don't get it do you?
Don't you see.
I am totally miserable.
I have no friends
No life.
All I am was, and ever will be good for is stupid fucking intelligence.
All I will be ever known for is the dude with Two mums.
No only just Two mums.
A fucking transsexual, and a fucking porn star prostitute.
Do you tell me Dad, tell me?
If you were in my position, would you not feel pretty fucked up yourself?
Hisses42
Starts to shake violently.43
Tell me.
Who the fuck am I Dad?
Who the god damn fucking hell am I?
Screams44
Turns around and kicks the coffee table over.
ALEXIS45
Tears now blurring her eyes.
She stands her ground
Lowering her voice back to a famine touch.
Carefully, and calmly she tries to calm Blake down with her patient tone of voice.46
You are Blake Oxford
My son.
And I love you, and always will.
I will be here no matter how much you hate me now or hate me in the next few years.
Nothing can or will ever change the fact that you are an Oxford.
But how dare you judge me like you are.47
I have fed you, clothed you, bathed you.
I have stuck by your every move, and done whatever I could to provide you with the life you have always wanted.
I have been there through hell and back, and made so many sacrifices for you I can't even count them on my fingers.
So you can hate me all you want, lock me out, push me away, claim that I am not your mother.
But the truth of the matter is I am your mother, not your father, I am a woman.
You know that, and always have.
So you tell me son, tell me what do you want?48
BLAKE49
Bows head.
The tears forming a staring on his t-shirt50
I just want to be normal.
That's all I have ever wanted.
Just to be normal.51
ALEXIS52
Moves forward.
Tries to reach out for his arm.53
And what is normal Blake?54
BLAKE55
Looks towards the sealing.
Wiping his blood-shot eyes.
Looks back down to his Mother.56
Anything... Anything but this.
ALEXIS57
looks at the coffee table.
Not willing to scream, she clenches her skirt fabric58
You are normal.
This is life Blake.
Not everyone is straight.
I am though not a fagot.
I also don;t take to kindly to you using the language in my house to discriminate another human being.
I think it is best you just sit yourself down , and calm down so we can sort this out.59
BLAKE60
Laughs sarcastically.61
You have got to be kidding me.
Jesus Christ.
You really are thick aren't you.
You know what I do not have to deal with this right now.62
Pushes his way past Alexis63
ALEXIS64
Grabs arm.
Holding him back.
Firm grip.65
You will sit down.
We will talk about this.66
Looks deeply in the eyes.67
BLAKE68
attempt to shake her of.
Looking hard, and cruelly into her eyes.
Searching for something he is unsure of.69
Let go of me... Now70
ALEXIS71
Looks him over
Shaking as the tears drip onto Blake's sleeve.
Notices how depressed Blake really is.
Feels sick inside.
Shakes him of.
Taking his hand to his mouth gasping.72
BLAKE73
pushes his way past her
Runs up the stairs.74
ALEXIS
Stands still in the lounge room
till he is out of sight
Falls apart.
Falling to her knees.
Cries.
