9INT. KID'S BEDROOM - EARLY MORNING

Mason is comfortably asleep. Samantha slowly pulls the pillow out from underneath his head and smacks him with it.

SAMANTHA

(singing)

"Oops, I did it again... I played

with your heart. Got lost in the

game. Oh baby, baby..."

Mason throws a stuffed animal at her that she deflects.

SAMANTHA (CONT'D)

"Oops, you think I'm in love. I'm

sent from above. I'm not that

innocent."

Another stuffed animal. She continues to sing.

MASON (O.S.)

Stop! Quit it!

SAMANTHA

"You see my problem is this. I'm

dreaming away. Wishing that heroes

truly exist. I cry watching the day.

Can't you see I'm a fool in so many

ways..."

MASON

Quit! Mom!

SAMANTHA

"But to lose all my senses-- that

is..."

He tries to drown out this last bit with a sustained scream. Soon the door flies open and Mom enters, angry.

MOM

What the hell is going on in here?!

Samantha has instantaneously shifted from singing to crying.

MOM (O.S.) (CONT'D)

Do you guys know what time it is?

SAMANTHA

(through tears/sobs)

He's throwing things at me...

MOM

Mason! Do not throw things at your

sister!

MASON

She's faking, she hit me first!!

MOM

Listen, both of you! I am going

back to bed. I don't wanna hear

another peep out of here for an hour.

Go to sleep.

Mom slams the door behind her. Samantha is suddenly fine, almost cheerful.
