In the kitchen, with A-m ...

Aless, aren’t you excited to see your brother again?

ALESS:

Actually, R-r-racolo’s only m-my half b-brother. I haven’t seen him

since I was s-six. He p-probably d-doesn’t even remember me.

It's not like he kept in t-touch or anything.

Of course he remembers you.

ALESS:

D-does he know I’m m-moving in?

No, I wanted to surprise him.

ALESS:

Oh. D-does he know about me? I m-mean d-d-did you 

t-tell him what h-happened, at school?

No. That’s your story to tell. Listen, I think he’s coming.

RACOLO:

Hi A-m, where is everyone?

Out.

RACOLO:

That’s pretty obvious. Where’s my kid?

Cammeo took him to the park. Racolo, we have a new house mate …

RACOLO:

Oh hi, look I gotta go.

Racolo?

ALESS:

See? I t-told you he wouldn’t remember m-me.

RACOLO:

from down the hall
Holy crap!

RACOLO:

Aless - is that you?

Welcome back, I’ll leave you boys alone now.

RACOLO:
When did you get here? 

ALESS:

This m-morning. R-racolo if you n-need to go ...

RACOLO:

It can wait. I guess Lith's OK where he is. Besides, how often do I get to see my kid brother? How long are you staying?

ALESS:

I’m m-moving in here.

RACOLO:

That’s great. I can’t believe your mom’s letting you move away from her. 

ALESS:

Uh … I … thought you kn-knew.

RACOLO:
What?

ALESS:

M-m-mommy was in a car accident l-last summer. 

It was bad, very b-bad. She d-d-died. 

RACOLO:
What? No one told me. I’m so sorry Aless.

You’d think Dad would’ve called me.

ALESS:

I ... d-don't really want to t-talk about it.

RACOLO:

It’s OK. I wish I had know. I really liked your mom. 

She was always so nice to me. 

RACOLO:

…You OK? You look tired.

ALESS:

I think I’m jet-lagged. I c-came here straight from London. 

RACOLO:

What the hell were you doing there?

ALESS:

After m-mommy died, D-daddy sent me to boarding school.

RACOLO:

In London? That’s like the other side of the world.

He just sent you away! Our father, such a sensitive guy.

ALESS:

Well, he’s very b-busy with his work. I was just … in the way.

RACOLO:

I remember. His clients always came first. We were

pretty low on his list of priorities.

RACOLO:

... Speaking of which, I really want find my kid. 

Want to come along?

ALESS:

You really want m-me t-to?

RACOLO:

Yeah - it’s time you met your nephew, Uncle Aless.

ALESS:

Nephew?
