Episode 18 Part 3
Tony arrives from school with a smile. Michael runs to greet him. Uncle Bill sits on the couch. MICHAEL: Hi, Dad. TONY: Oh, hi Michael. BILL: Hey, Tony. There's a message from Michael's teacher on the refrigerator. He wants you to call him. TONY: Okay. MICHAEL: Dad, can you help me with my homework? I don't understand it. TONY: Sure, Michael. How's your nose? MICHAEL: Okay. Michael runs to get his homework. The phone rings. Bill answers. BILL: (PHONE RINGS) Hello? Okay, just a minute. Tony. The phone. TONY: Hello? TIPSUREE: Hi, Tony. It's Tipsuree. Is this a bad time? TONY: Tipsuree. Hi. Bad time? No. No, not at all. TIPSUREE: I'd love to have coffee with you. How about tomorrow at 5:00? TONY: Five tomorrow. Perfect. Do you know the World Cafe on Main Street next to the bank? TIPSUREE: Oh, I love that place. TONY: Hold on one second. MICHAEL: I need help with my homework. TONY: (covering the receiver) Don't bother me. (TO TIPSUREE) Hello? Michael goes to his room depressed. Tony doesn't even notice. Bill notices. TIPSUREE: Hi, what was that? UNCLE BILL'S HOME Tony and Tipsuree are still talking. TONY: Oh, it was nothing. That's great. Maybe one day, I will meet your brothers. It must have been different growing up with two brothers who are musicians. They sound like fun guys. TIPSUREE: Yes, they are. But it's getting late. It was nice talking to you. So coffee tomorrow? TONY: Yes, we'll talk then. Bye, bye. (HANGS UP PHONE) That was Tipsuree. Tony hangs up. BILL: (upset) Good. TONY: What's wrong? BILL: What's wrong? Do you remember you promised Michael to help him? TONY: Oh, yes. Michael. (calling) Michael... BILL: He's asleep now. Listen, Tony. I don't want to tell you how to raise your son. But you must make more time for him. TONY: What? I am a good father. BILL: Good father? He's asked you many times to help him with his schoolwork. TONY: That's the school's job. BILL: No, it's also yours. And you'd rather talk to someone you just met than call Michael's teacher? Tony looks at his watch. TONY: Oh. You're right. It's too late to call him now. I'll call him in the morning. Bill goes to his room. Tony feels guilty. Tony is on the phone. TONY: Yes. My name is Tony Park. I would like to talk to Mr. Hill. SCHOOL CLERK: Ah, yes. Mr. Park. Mr. Hill wants to know if you can come today and see him. He's available between three and four. TONY: Between three and four. Then I will be there at three (CALL WAITING) Oh, can you hold on for one second? The second line on Tony's phone rings. SCHOOL CLERK: Yes. Tony clicks over. TONY: Hello? TIPSUREE: Hi, Tony. It's Tipsuree. TONY: (quite happy) Oh, hi! TIPSUREE: I'm really sorry, but my plans changed. I'm wondering if we can have coffee a little earlier? I'm free between three and four. TONY: Between three and four? TIPSUREE: Is that OK? Tony doesn't know what to do. WIZARD: And freeze!
