Ya . That was fun .
YOUNG ALEX
YOUNG MOM If you want I can teach you how to play a whole song .
Really ?
YOUNG ALEX
YOUNG MOM Yeah ! Maybe one day you can even write one of your own .
( Young Alex smiles at Young Mom . Young Mom kisses Young Alex on his forehead . The spotlight fades and we are taken back to Alex and Mom at the cemetery . They ’ re both quiet and smiling .)
Jesus . I was a handful .
ALEX
MOM Maybe just a little . But you were still my perfect little angel either way . My little genius . I loved seeing the world through your eyes . All that creativity … You always inspired me … I bet you think the same for Annie .
ALEX I do . She ' s the light of my life . I honestly don ’ t know what I ’ d do without her .
( Another spotlight lights up the other side of the stage . Young Mom and Married Alex are sitting around a table . There are two coffee mugs placed in front of them . Married Alex looks to be in distress .)
YOUNG MOM I had no idea Girl Scout season was starting up again . Last Friday , I was passing by the Ralphs next to the bank . You know the one next to the IHOP ? Anyways – I bought like five boxes from those girls . I actually have a box of Thin Mints for you and Miranda . She likes chocolate right ? I couldn ’ t remember . But I mean everyone likes chocolate .
( Young Mom sees that Married Alex hasn ’ t been paying attention this whole time .)
Okay , Alex . What ’ s going on ? You ’ re not even listening .
( Married Alex snaps back and looks and Young Mom )
