Scenes with Robert 11

[Sharon has made breakfast, her rendition of scrambled eggs, however, does not sit well with Virgil, as her attempt is nothing but an under-cooked, runny slop.]

(sitting at the table) What's this, an egg smoothie?

(not amused) You know that's just the way Momma made them.

(studying his 'breakfast' with his fork) Funny, I don't remember needing a straw to eat her's.

Robert

(closes his briefcase and stands up, ready to go to work) Come on Virgil, your sister went to all this trouble. Least you can do is give 'em a try. (pats Virgil on the head and leaves)

[Sharon huffs and turns away. Virgil, desperate not to be food poisoned, looks 'up' for divine intervention.]

(voice a tone lower) Momma, if you're listening, I could use some help here...

[The phone rings unexpectedly.]

(answering the phone) Hello... (listens to the person on the other end of the line,) Hey, Teddy... (pause) Yeah, I really liked that lecture last night... (pause) Tonight? You mean a real date?... (pause, meanwhile, Virgil stands next to her making kissie-noises while she's on the phone) Let me check my schedule... (pause while Sharon leaves the kitchen to gain privacy from Virgil) Of course I have a schedule... (pause, before she answers Teddy flirtatiously) No, I don't have a little black book. It's paisley...

[With Sharon out of the way, Virgil, with a smile on his face, is free to dispose of the 'egg smoothie,' pouring it into the bin, without Sharon as an eyewitness.]

Good lookin' out, Moms.

[Virgil exits the kitchen, rubbing his stomach in mock-satisfaction as he passes Sharon, still on the phone.]

Mmm, mmm, mmm. Fluffy egg goodness...

[Sharon, knowing that Virgil is poking fun at her cooking, pouts in frustration.]

Robert

Proud of you for helping Derek, Virgil.

Pops, when you get touched with genius, you gotta share the gift... Besides thanks to him, I'm finally meeting cheerleaders.

Robert

You sure you're ok?

Yeah, pops. I'm cool. I'd be even cooler with a new stereo, though.

Robert

Then, I wouldn't be cool. Stick with your old stereo.

Hey, I had to give it a shot.

Robert

Captain Fitz came through. They're gonna put Rubberband Man in a safer prison. If his behavior's good, he'll be out and making music in a matter of months.

Isn't this exciting?!

Oh, yeah. I'm bouncing off the walls.

Robert

Virgil?

Please, don't make me do it, Pops. I don't wanna make the speech.

Robert

I would never force you to do that, son.

Then, about what I said to Sharon.

Robert

Forget it. We all lose our cool now and again. In fact, I may owe you an apology.

For what?

Robert

I thought you come to terms with your mom's death all this time. I was wrong about that, huh?

Pops, I...

Robert

You wanna talk about it?

Maybe later, okay?

Robert

I understand. It took me a long time before I could even say her name without feeling pain. Whenever you're ready, son. It would be nice if you did speak at the memorial, Virgil. If for no one else, for your mom. Just think about it.

Hey, Pops. Aren't you proud of me?

Robert

Of course I am, son. And you're still grounded. Well, if we're all ready, we've got a table waiting for us at Get Your Grub On! [Laughs]

Sorry about that.

Well, being at home's not too bad. When you feel the love.

I'm afraid he's gonna hurt somebody.

OMr. Osgood

He'd never do that. He doesn't mean it. (closes Jimmy's laptop)

Robert

Your son's depressed, Mr. Osgood. (opens the curtains) I work with kids and I can tell you, you can't dismiss this. He needs help.

Pops, Jimmy told me he knew where he could get a gun.

OMr. Osgood

My gun's locked up, I have the key. (gets the keys out of his pocket, then notices one of them missing) Oh my god...

[The trio rush into Mr. Osgood's bedroom where Mr. Osgood opens the drawer where his gun is stored]

OMr. Osgood

It's gone! The gun's gone!

Robert

What were you thinking having a handgun in the house where a kid could get to it!?

OMr. Osgood

But I didn't know... Jimmy would even think of...

Pops! Those kids who were hassling Jimmy! They might be down at the community center!

Robert

I gotta get down there! Call the police! Have them send a car down there now!

[Robert rushes to his car as Mr. Osgood begins to call the police]

Mr. Hawkins, I'm glad to see you're ok.

Robert

You can drop the act, Virgil.

You know?

Robert

Wasn't hard to figure out. Why else kidnap me to get to Static? And maybe, just maybe, in the back of my mind, I've always known.

Robert

Is that... Richie?

(coughs and deepens his voice) Er, Mr. Hawkins, you have to understand the most secret part of a superhero is his secret identity and, well, uh-

Yeah, that's Richie.

(voice cracks) Hi, Mr. H.
