BLAKE3

The alarm goes of on his clock.
He picks it up throwing it across the room.
Pulling his sheets bag, he slides and drags himself out of bed.
Holding his temples he makes his way down stairs.
Smelling the sweet aroma of Strawberry porridge 4


ALEXIS5

Is in the kitchen Making breakfast.
She sees Blake and turns around smiling.6


Hay Son.
How did you sleep?
Speaks in a calm tone7


BLAKE8

Tries not to make eye contact with her as he heads into the kitchen.
Opens the cupboard door taking out the loaf of bread.9


Fine, thanks.10


ALEXIS11

Eyes look down to the bread in his hands.
Raises eyebrows.
Slops some porridge into a bowl12


I made your favorite.13

BLAKE14

Feels slightly guilty.
Trying not to look into her eyes.
Places bread on the kitchen table, nodding.15

Yeah I could pretty much sense that since all you can smell is strawberry's from half a mile away.
But I'm not hungry.
So why don't you just give it to Patty?16

ALEXIS17

Puts the spoon back in the bowl and turns around.
Looking angrily at him.18

I am not giving the dog your breakfast.
And if you not hungry then why have yo taken the loaf of bread out.
Now come on sit down, I spent all morning making you a nice breakfast
Squeezed you fresh juice and all.19

Points over to Two glasses on the bench.20

Now put the bread back in the cupboard, and take a seat.21

BLAKE22

Shakes his head
Takes Two pieces of bread out of the bag.23

No one asked you to do that.
I'm just not in a porridge mood.
Give it to the homeless people.
Someone who will appreciate it.24

ALEXIS25

Walks over, grabbing the pieces of bread from his hands.
Slaps him in the face, then throws them into the dog bowl.26

I can take your problems
I can handle and help you with your issues
Hell I will even just go on and let you be.
But I Will not let you speak to me like that.
Now you will sit down in that chair, and you will enjoy your juice and porridge.27

BLAKE28

Wipes the crumbs of his cheek.
Looking embarrassed at Alexis.29

Takes a seat.30

ALEXIS31

Places a bowl of porridge and a glass of juice ion front of him.
Sits down.
Raises eyebrows.
Watches him take the first spoonful.32

What happened to my son?33

BLAKE34

Looks around the kitchen.35

Oh what me?
Last time I checked I am still the same person.36

ALEXIS37

Shakes her head.
Taking a spoonful of porridge into her own mouth.38

No, no your not.
Not the Blake I know.
Not the considerate, well manner loving son.
Your just bitter and spiteful.39

BLAKE40

Chuckles rudely.
Trying not to hurt her feelings, he lowers his head.
Tries to not show he cares.41

Wow that is a bit blunt.
Now I wonder why that would be.42

ALEXIS

This isn't about that woman still.
Son you will never move on if you don't learn to let things go.
She wanted nothing more but sex.
Nothing more than one night, one day whatever it was.
Your better than that.43

BLAKE44

Leans forwards.
Greedily shoves a spoonful of porridge into his mouth.45

Really am I.
Last time I checked I am feral.
I have no friends
No life.
Nothing.
But Fucked up mother, and father.
So how am I better than someone who has money.
Who has style, a life?
No this is not about her any more.
This is about you and me.46

ALEXIS47

Confused, pushed her bowl back. 48

Money is not everything Blake.
We have got on just fine, you and I.
You have always got what you wanted and needed.
I have worked hard for that.
So what is it?
Do I repulse you is that it?
Are you that embarrassed of me?
Why now Blake?

BLAKE
49

Takes a sip of his juice.
Looking up into Alexis' eyes.50

To be honest I just don't get it
you should no by now I am not repulsed by any kind of person
I just hate liars.
I thought you brought me up to take risks and be who I am.
Then when I finally have the guts to do it.
You insult me.51

ALEXIS52

How did I insult you Blake?53

BLAKE54

Think about it Dad.
You did not even want to hear me out really.
You just assumed I was selling my life away.
Well you have no idea at all what it is like to me me.
You would not even try.55

ALEXIS56

Mum, Son I am your Mother.
I am not a man and You know very well I do not like to be reminded of the past.57

BLAKE58

Drains his glass.
Standing up he pushes his chair back.59

Your fucking unbelievable.
See, that's just it.
You lie to yourself, everyday.
You are a man.
Not a woman.
Just because you have breast, and you wear all that shit, and talk like someone kicked you in the balls, does not make you a freaking woman.
You are a man, and will always be.60


ALEXIS61

Takes another spoonful.
Wipes her lips.62

I am a Woman.
That is it.
Simple Blake.
I am not lying in fact If I was lying I would agree with you.
Let them walk all over me for who I am.
But I don't.
Don't you think that if you were in my position I would tell you to be true to yourself.
I certainly would not insult you every chance that I get.

BLAKE
63

Walks over.
Places bowl in sink.64

Well I'm not you dad.
And get used to it.
Cause I never will be. 65

ALEXIS66

I'll remember that son.
Thanks for the reminder.
says calmly67


BLAKE68

Grins falsely
walking out the room.69

No problem.
Any time

    Quite a interesting potential screenplay here. Fascinated by that 'strawberry porridge', reference. Never heard of it before.

    Hold on while I find your directors hat.....

    Well while I was getting the hat I found this awesome pair of dark Sunglasses, and one of those cone shaped speaker phone thingies (help -I cant remember the name, just what it looks like).

    What a talent you have and as you continue to amaze those who read your stories.
