''Broken Home''

TEASER

FADE IN:

INT.MINKUS HOUSE – LIVING ROOM – NIGHT

Stuart and Jeniffer are standing,fighting a bit.

STUART

If you don't love me,why did you marry me,anyway?

JENIFFER

Do you really have to make problem about everything?

STUART

I'm not the one who's making problem,Jeniffer.

JENIFFER

So...all this is all of sudden my fault?

STUART

I want to talk and make things clear,but you...

JENIFFER (interrupts)

Of course.It's always women's fault...men's are all angels and inoccent.

STUART

Just don't yell.Farkle might hear us.

JENIFFER

Are you really worried about it?Or you just don't wanna end up divorced?

STUART

Of course i'm worried about what he might think.He's my son!

JENIFFER

Your son?Suddenly,he's just your son?It's mine too!It's our son!

STUART

Sorry.I never meant to say it that way.

JENIFFER

Maybe...we should split.

STUART

Jeniffer...

JENIFFER

I always had my doubts,but now i know this wasn't quite good idea as it seemed years ago.

STUART

Nobody pushed us to this.

JENIFFER

It was me.

STUART

What?

JENIFFER

I end up pregnant,remember?

STUART

We didn't just marry because of child.That would be mean,mad and very unpolite.

JENIFFER

Listen to me,Stuart.Whatever happens...promise me you wouldn't keep me away from Farkle.

STUART

Nothing's gonna happen!

JENIFFER

Just promise me that!

STUART

Okay.He won't be involved in this and...you will always be by his side.

Than,we notice Farkle's head,in the hallway of Minkus house,a bit angry,sad,apparently had been listening to all conversation.

JENIFFER

He was the only reason i did this.

STUART

We will figure this out.I promise.

ACT ONE

FADE IN:

INT.JOHN ADAMS HIGH SCHOOL – HALLWAY – DAY

Farkle is closing his locker.He has sad face,quiet,sleepy.

Riley comes,gives him kiss on the cheek.

RILEY

Hi.

FARKLE

Hey.

Farkle,keeps quiet,in his own world provocated by his parent's fight last night.

RILEY

Isn't it interesting that we are starting Sophomore year of high school.

FARKLE

Sure.

RILEY

I used to think it's me and Lucas...that we were supposed to be together and be happy through high school.But than...i understood who i wanted to be with.

Farkle,nods,still in his own problems.

RILEY (CONT.)

What's the matter with you?

FARKLE

You don't longer have feelings for him,right?

RILEY

Why are you asking me that stupid question?

FARKLE

I don't know.You started with the topic.

RILEY

Something is wrong with you.

FARKLE

What?

RILEY

I know you and this is not you.This isn't the Farkle i know and i want to know why and i want to know now.

FARKLE

Oh,god.Why am i having this feeling that bullies are chasing me all over again?

RILEY

Are you bullied?

FARKLE

No.

RILEY

Than?

Farkle,keeps silent,his phone bips.

RILEY

It's your phone.

FARKLE

It's nothing important.

RILEY

How do you know?

FARKLE

I just know!

Riley,becomes a bit frightened,while the rest of students turn around.

FARKLE

I'm sorry.Please forgive me...for yelling.

RILEY

Okay.

Riley turns around,about to enter the classroom,but he stops her,taking her hand.

FARKLE

It's not about you.It has nothing to do with you,believe me.

RILEY

It's hard to believe,when you are not oppening to me.Why?

FARKLE

I kinda...have...insomnia.I mean,i don't have it,but i didn't sleep well last night.

RILEY

Just that?

Farkle nods.

RILEY

You scared me.

FARKLE

Sorry.

Farkle puts his hands at Riley's face,they kiss.

FARLKLE

Let's go.

On the other side,there is Maya,like she's spying on them both,than Lucas comes.

MAYA

Looks like Frankenstein did something wrong again.

LUCAS

He's right.Stop mocking him.

MAYA

It's me,it's who i am and i will never stop.

LUCAS

I don't think their relationship is falling apart again.

MAYA

Wanna bet?

LUCAS

I wanna do something else.

MAYA

Win the bet?

LUCAS

You were right and...we should do it.

MAYA

Are you sure?

LUCAS

I wasn't scared,okay?I just needed some time to think about this big step we are taking.

MAYA

You know how they say it should be with someone special?You are special to me.

LUCAS

And i'm glad it's you who I wanna spend the rest of my life with.

MAYA

Just to make it clear...we are not getting married.

Lucas laughs.

LUCAS

I just...can't be more happier,i think.

They kiss.

MAYA

Let's go,Huckleberry.

LUCAS

Huckleberry,really?

MAYA

It's who i am!And...you accepted me that way,right?

LUCAS

Fine.Blonde beauty.

The both of them laugh,enter the classroom.

INT.JOHN ADAMS HIGH SCHOOL – ENGLISH ROOM – DAY

Harper teaches a lesson.We notice Zay's not in class.

HARPER

I suppose everyone have heard about author named Avery Corman.

MAYA

Is that the one who wrote that famous movie...Kramer vs Kramer?

LUCAS (to MAYA)

You are close enough.

HARPER

He wrote the same book,movie is adoption of book.

LUCAS

She doesn't read books that much.

MAYA

What are you suddenly,my lawyer?

Lucas and Maya keep mocking each other,a bit,Riley turns around,faces Farkle,who is still sad,smilling a bit.

FARKLE

That book is about divorce,right?

HARPER

And...about what happens to father and son after the mother leaves them.

FARKLE

It must be very hard,I imagine.

MAYA (to FARKLE)

You don't know a thing,Frankenstein.It's a bad thing to happen,even to some child.

FARKLE (to MAYA)

What's it like,Maya?

RILEY (to FARKLE)

Seriously?

FARKLE

What?This is still discussing,right?

HARPER

Things like that are common today.And in many cases...the children are the one who suffer more.

FARKLE

But...how to make it not happen?How to make things better and cheat on divorce?

LUCAS

It's not like we are in Final Destination,you can't make things better if they are destinated to be like that.

MAYA

It's freakin fate.

LUCAS

Wow.That's something Zay would often tell.

MAYA

Where the hell is he,anyway?

HARPER

The movie is very dramatic.Most people can identify with it.

FARKLE

Okay,so divorces happen.How to choose the side?Him or her?

LUCAS

You don't choose,Farkle.

FARKLE

What?

LUCAS

It's their divorce.You never have the vote.

HARPER

Let's just get back to the book and think about it a bit.

Than,Cory knock the door and enters.

CORY (to HARPER)

Sorry to interrupt the class,Harper.I just need Farkle for a moment.

HARPER

Is something wrong?

CORY (to FARKLE)

Your mother is here.

FARKLE

My mom?

Farkle stands up,a bit frightened,leaves the classroom.

HARPER

I want all of you to think about this.What provocates divorce?How to survive it?How to get back to the life we had before,things similar to it?

INT.JOHN ADAMS HIGH SCHOOL – HALLWAY – DAY

FARKLE

What are you doing here?

FARKLE

You are getting divorce,right?

JENIFFER

What?

FARKLE

I heard you,guys.I mean...i never thought we were the perfect and happy family and now...

JENIFFER (interrupts)

Nothing bad will happen.

FARKLE

So...you are leaving him?

Jeniffer,keeps quiet,silent.

FARKLE (CONT.)

I always thought he was the one to love you more.

JENIFFER

I loved him too...at some point of life.And i still do.

FARKLE

Did i destroy your life?

JENIFFER

Of course not!How can you think about that?

FARKLE

You didn't marry because of your pregnancy?

JENIFFER

Nobody's getting divorce.We're just...we are not in our best moments,but we will get better.

Farkle nods,insecure a bit,sad.

CORY

That's not...okay,fine.He need to learn.

TOPANGA

Not that way.

CORY

Okay.What would you do?

TOPANGA

Talk to him.You talk with kids.

CORY

Come on.You don't believe in that,do you?You tell them one thing and bum...it just goes on the other side.They don't care about things we say or think.

TOPANGA

Apologize to him.

I own you a one good talk.

FARKLE

You really think that?

STUART

Everything's fine and everybody's fine.

FARKLE

You can keep saying that,but it doesn't mean that it will be that way.

STUART

Couples...and especially married couples have fights sometimes.I mean...you are sixteen,i don't need to explain this to you.

FARKLE

I know,but your fights...it's so much bigger issue than an ordinary fight.

STUART

Nothing is gonna change.We are not getting divorce,we are not separating and we are one happy family.

Auggie is sitting on bed,with Cory.

CORY

I may have been a bit strick with you.

AUGGIE

A bit?

CORY

I am worried.I was a bit slacker when i was a kid,it's bad to grow up being some lame student who skip classes and do the things other collegues don't do.

AUGGIE

You me...joint and that stuff?

CORY

You need to stop watching that rap films a bit.

AUGGIE

I skipped one class,i liked it and it's never gonna happen again.And it's not because of this punishment.

CORY

Wow.I'm glad you understood it.And i can't believe you beat me in this maturity conversation.

AUGGIE

That's why your punishments suck.

Auggie goes back to bed,leaving Cory there alone,thinking.

CORY

Damn.I sometimes talk too much in front of kids.

INT.JOHN ADAMS HIGH SCHOOL – HALLWAY – DAY

Lucas and Zay enter the school.

LUCAS

What's going on,buddy?I thought we tell each other everything.

ZAY

I can't tell you until i am sure.

LUCAS

I don't know if you realize it,but it sounds like you killed someone.

ZAY

There is a slight possibility that i'm going back to Texas.

LUCAS

What?

ZAY

I don't know what to do.

LUCAS

You can't go.We need you.

ZAY

And i need you,guys.But...

LUCAS

We will make up something,you need to stay.

On the other side,there is Farkle near lockers,Maya comes.

MAYA

You and i will talk,Minkus!

FARKLE

Minkus?So...now you are calling me like that?

MAYA

Minkus,Frankenstein,what's the point?It's the same for me...creepy.

FARKLE

What have i done?

MAYA

Why don't you talk with Riley?

FARKLE

This is personal,okay?

MAYA

Than...talk to me.

FARKLE

And than...you will tell Riley.

MAYA

Of course.

FARKLE

Look,this is my personal thing.I need to deal with it...myself.

MAYA

Family problem?

FARKLE

How did you know?

MAYA

Maybe...because my father left my mother and me.I see it clear in other people's eyes.It's easy to notice it.

FARKLE

They could get divorce in any moment.I don't want that to happen.

MAYA

If not now...it could happen later.

FARKLE

What's the best solution?

MAYA

Just deal with it.

Farkle nods.

Than,Riley exits classroom,going towards Maya and Farkle,but stops,as she hears Farkle speaking.

FARKLE

Why can't I talk with Riley like this?She wouldn't understand him.

Maya,notices Riley.

MAYA

Farkle...

FARKLE

I don't know why.She's not like you,it just wouldn't work.Thank you for listening to me.

MAYA

Riley is...

FARKLE

I don't wanna push her aside,but...she doesn't understand me as much as I wish for.

RILEY

Really?

Farkle turns around,faces Riley.

FARKLE

Riley?

RILEY

That was...so honest.You were honest...first time.

FARKLE

I didn't meant...

RILEY (interrupts)

You said what you meant.It seems that i don't understand you after all.

Riley,turns around,about to enter classroom,but Farkle takes her hand.

FARKLE

Riley...

She slaps him.

RILEY

Stay away from me!
