Carmen: that doesn’t narrow it down daddio

Shane: all the jerks im dealing with today

Carmen: I looooovvvveee yyyooooouuu…and your depressing wardrobe.

They finish getting dressed and tell shay that they will see him later and they head out.

Carmen: shay come lock the door.

Shay comes out of his room hugs them both and locks the door. Shane help Carmen into her jeep and gets in and starts the engine. While driving and at a stop light shane rotates her arm and her shoulder pops.

Carmen: when are you going to get that looked at?

Shane: im ok, just kinda anxious.

Carmen: me too, we just gotta breathe. Did you grab the documents?

Shane: yup.

Carmen: you think of everything. (smiling at her)

They pull up at the planet and go inside. They sit at the table and kits comes and greets them.

Kit: hey family, hows the baby?

Shane: hey, he’s at home.

Kit: on Monday? He sick?

Carmen: nope, teacher in service day

Kit: o ok, well why didn’t yall bring the baby? He grounded?

Shane: nope, we have  a meeting here so we can get this adoption final.

Kit: lawyers?

Carmen: no, his mom wont sign the papers. But she’s in between jobs and houses and on drugs.

Kit: o hell no, sue that bitch! Where she gonna take the baby to live, in the trash with Oscar the grouch?

Shane: we don’t want it to go that far where we have to sue.

Carmen: yea, the next time we go to court we want it to be us signing the final adoption papers.

Kit: that’s understandable.

They see a skinny, stringy hair, missing tooth woman walking into the planet looking lost.

Kit: well, ill see you all later. Carmen, don’t slap her.

Shane: alright kit

Carmen: ill try.

Shane: Carla?

Carla: hi shane and Carmen, where is shay?

Carmen: hi, he wasn’t able to make it.

Carla: ok, so when can I get him.

Shane: Carla, look lets  be honest. How will you take care of him?

Carla: he can go out there on the block and make some money for us, he’s young enough to rise up the ranks.

Shane takes a deep breath and Carmen just looks at her intently.

Carmen: so……let me get this straight. Let me repeat to you what your going to do to make sure I heard you right. Your going to get shay. Then make his sell dope on the street to feed your habit and put a roof over your head.

Carla: yes…

Carmen: bitch you high right damn now?!

Shane: Carmen! Stop……just stop. Look Carla…this isnt going to work, we didn’t want it to go here but were going to court with this, this is ridiculous.

Carla: wait wait, I cant go to court, ill go straight to jail, lets work this out. Work with me and ill work with you.

Carmen: what?

Shane reaches into her jacket pocket and pulls out an envelope

Shane: look heres 600 dollars, its yours if you sign.

Carla: make it an even 1000 and he’s yours

Carmen: done (in an aggravated tone) but you have to sign first then we go to the ATM for the rest to finish out the deal.

Carla: ok taking the paper and looking it over.

She takes a deep breath and signs her name on the dotted line.

Carla: how is he?

Carmen: tall, handsome, athletic, happy.

Carla: just make sure he graduates high school.

Shane: not even a question.

Carmen excuses herself and goes to the ATM across the café. She comes back and hands Carla an envelope.

Carla: ok ladies, pleasure doing business with you.

Carmen: the pleasure is all yours.

Carla leaves the planet and disappears into the street.

Shane: well at least were done with her.

Carmen: I don’t think we are.

Shane: what you mean?

Carmen: just a feeling.
