Act 1, Scene 2

Act 1
Scene 2

Stadthaus, late afternoon. 

EDISON plays with LEGO at a table in the playroom while GWYNETH and NATE converse quietly nearby. 

EDISON
Hey, wanna hear a joke!? 

GWYNETH
Sure, dude. 

EDISON: 
What starts with P-O and is four letters long and you ride on it!? 

NATE and GYWNETH look at one another, baffled. 

EDISON
A PONY! Get it? It's a joke! Well... It's more of a riddle, really. I guess it's not very good. I read it in a German joke book. Most of the jokes aren't very funny. 

NATE and GYWNETH walk to the stairwell, NATE heading upstairs and GYWNETH toward the nearby master suite. 

(Talking over one another, very quietly) 

NATE
What's four letters long and ends in C-K and you ride mine? 

GWYNETH
What has four letters, ends with C-K, and I ride yours? 

EDISON
(calling from another room) 
I know!! It's a BIKE! 

GWYNETH
...thaaaaat's right! A bike! Good job guessing! 

GWYNETH returns to the playroom, shooting NATE a playfully accusatory glare as he retreats up the stairs leaving her to sort out the mess. EDISON continues to build LEGO, unperturbed. 

EDISON 
(pauses, looks up at GWYNETH)
Wait, but bike ends in K-E, not C-K. 

GWYNETH
Oh, you're right! Silly me. I must have spelled it wrong. 

EDISON
YEAH. I thought you were good at spelling, though. 

GWYNETH
(sits next to EDISON at the table and gestures toward his LEGO)
I guess not! Hey, tell me about this LEGO! 

(fade to black)

His father, NATE, follows a few seconds behind him as they remove their shoes and coats. GWYNETH meets them there. EDISON (shrugs off coat, backpack, shoes, and puts on his Hausschue) "HEY, MOM! It's a good news/bad news situation. I've got FIVE WEEKS off from school!!! But I've got a LOT of homework." GWYNETH (opening her arms to offer Edison a hug) WOW! How do you feel about that?
