WELCOME
UNCLE PHIL! MAN! HOW ARE YOU DOING?
I’M NOT YOUR UNCLE PHILIP. I’M GEOFFREY, YOUR UNCLE’S BUTLER.
MASTER WILLIAMS.
HEY, MAN, IT’S COOL IF YOU JUST CALL ME WILL.
WHAT WOULD YOU PREFER?
HIS ROYAL FELTNESS. THAT’S DOPE.
MASTER WILLIAM, WALK THIS WAY.
NO.
WILLIE! SWEETIE HI!
HEY, AUNT VIV!
THE LAST TIME WE SAW YOU, YOU WERE THIS FUNNY LITTLE BOY. NOW LOOK AT YOU. MY GOODNESS, YOU’RE A MAN.
THAT WAS THE PLAN.
HILARY. YOUR COUSIN WILL IS HERE.
HI.
MOM I NEED 300 BUCKS.
FOR WHAT HILARY? THAT’S A LOT OF MONEY.
I NEED A NEW HAT.
FOR WHAT?
PROBABLY HER HEAD?
NOT FUNNY WILL.
HEY WILL! YOU CERTAINLY HAVE GROWN.
SO HAS YOUR STOMACH.
WOULD YOU TAKE WILL TO HIS ROOM, AND HELP HIM GET SETTLED.
YES, MADAM. MASTER WILLIAM.
WELCOME TO YOUR ROOM MASTER WILLIAMS.
THANKS G!
MASTER WILLIAMS. THIS IS YOUR COUSIN ASHLEY.
OH HI, ASHLEY! MY LITTLE SCOTTISH COUSIN.
v
HI WILL! I MADE YOU A LITTLE SOMETHING.
THANKS ASHLEY! YOU’RE VERY TALENTED.
v
AT LEAST I’M GOOD AT SOMETHING.
DON’T SAY THAT. YOU’RE GOOD AT A LOT OF THINGS.
LOOK WHO’S HERE, WILL.
WHO IS HE?
IT’S YOUR COUSIN, CARLTON.
WHERE IS THE REST OF HIM.
HOW’S IT GOING THERE, WILL?
IT’S GOING ALL RIGHT. JUST TRYING TO GET USE TO ALL THIS.
YOU WILL BE JUST FINE. I’LL INTRODUCE YOU TO THE GANG. MAYBE WE’LL PLAY A SET OF TENNIS OR TWO. YES, THIS IS GOING TO BE WILD.
GREAT. HIP HIP HOORAY.
I WANT TO TALK TO YOU.
ABOUT WHAT?
FROM THE MINUTE YOU CAME, YOU’VE BEEN A ONE-MAN WRECKING CREW.
MAN, I WAS WITH YOU UP TILL, “ONE MAN WRECKING CREW”.
YOUR AUNT AND I WENT THROUGH A LOT OF TROUBLE TO BRING YOU HERE. THIS IS THE THANKS WE GET?
I AIN’T ASKED TO COME. EVERYONE’S TALKING ABOUT SHIPPING ME OFF, AND DRESSING ME UP AND CHANGING ME INTO SOMETHING I DON’T WANNA BE.
NOBODY WANTS TO CHANGE YOU. WE JUST YOU TO LIVE A GOOD LIFE.
YOU’RE RIGHT UNCLE PHIL. I’M SORRY, AND I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME BE APART OF YOUR FAMILY.
THE END
