SCENE #4: CONTINUED:

As the two of them head off to find her, we find her first . . .

CUT TO:

SCENE #5: EXT. ECC FOOTBALL FIELD. BOOTH #4. NIGHT. (N1)

Delia’s reading some pamphlets. A young PRIEST stands in front of a booth advertising a Seminary.

PRIEST
Find anything you’re interested in?

DELIA
I’m twelve. I’m not interested in anything except television and cupcakes.

PRIEST
Twelve, huh? Well, you’re too young to join our seminary. Maybe you’d like to sing in our choir.

DELIA
Can’t. Sorry. I’m Jewish.

PRIEST
You don’t have to apologize. You’re probably busy preparing for your Bat Mitzvah anyway.

DELIA
Oh, I’m not having one.

PRIEST
Really? Why is that?

DELIA
Actually, I don’t know. My brother had one, but we lived in New York then. To be honest, I’m not sure I get what the whole thing even means.

PRIEST
It’s quite a significant milestone in the Jewish tradition, the rite of passage from childhood to adulthood.

DELIA
I don’t have to move out of the house afterwards, do I?

PRIEST
(smiling)
No, it’s more of a spiritual passage. And girls mature faster than boys, so they can celebrate theirs at twelve.

DELIA
Does your boss know you know this much about my religion?

BRIGHT (O.S.)
There she is . . .

Ephram and Bright approach, relieved to find her.

BRIGHT (CONT’D)
See, I told you she’d be fine.

EPHRAM
Delia, don’t wander away like that again. You scared the hell out of me.

DELIA
Sorry . . .

Ephram notices the priest for the first time.

PRIEST
Hello, gentlemen. I’m Father Patrick.

EPHRAM
Oh, hi. Sorry about that “hell” thing, Father.

PRIEST
It’s quite all right.
(then, seizing the opportunity)
Have either of you ever thought about - -

BRIGHT
Don’t even waste your time, Padre.
(points to Ephram)
Jewish.
(points to himself)
Lost cause.

As the three of them walk off . . .

SCENE #6: INT. BROWN HOUSE. KITCHEN. NIGHT. (N1)

ANDY’S doing bills at the table, listening to ephram recount his job fair experience. Delia’s eating her pizza at the island.

EPHRAM
. . . And the guy from the Colorado Department of Corrections told me I’d make a great probation officer.
