Fritz and Cleo in “Unfinished Business”

[The scene cuts from the school bus to Fritz's house. In Fritz's kitchen, Cleo --Fritz's mother-- is fixing Fritz an after-school snack.]

[Cleo puts Fritz on the kitchen counter. She used to put him --Fritz-- up on the kitchen or bathroom counters if he had a potentially tingly area on the section under his belly. And she'd kiss the stings to make it better. She used to do this to Fritz when he was 4 and under. But only when he hurt the section under his belly and waist. She --when Fritz was one year old-- even kissed his --Fritz's-- diaper rashes too. So at this she --Cleo-- reenacts an action of easing Flick's stings, like the time when he was one and she kissed his diaper rashes. That is, by putting Fritz up on the kitchen counter. Then, she continues her question and asks Fritz...!]

[Fritz --sitting on the counter-- he is playfully close up to his mother's face --smelling the "stinky smell" from her skunk nose-- while he is telling his mom about school. As for the "easing the stings" action, Cleo does not do this to Fritz nowadays because Fritz is going to be ages 5 to adult. So he should grow out of it. His mother made him grow out of it, beginning with the late single digits. That is, as late as age five. But this is one exception. That is, exclusively to tell his mom about school.]

[But then, he regards with Mrs. Jenkins --who wasn't at school today.]

[While Fritz smells his mother's nose --as he talking to her about school-- he doesn't mind the smell of her.]

[Cleo hugs Fritz.]

[Cleo goes up to Fritz's bag. She looks in the bag and it's filled with bugs, leftovers and worms which he tried to collect from school.]

[Cleo --offscreen-- kisses Fritz on the belly. For the remainder of the day --extending until night-- Fritz feels the smell --from his mother's nose-- scented into his. And he feels the smell --from her nose-- for the remainder for the day.]
