<Billy,
Benson, Danny, Jodie, Chuck, Bob, Maggie, Wendy and Mike are
all in the living room.>
Billy:
I can’t believe that everyone is finally coming back. I’ve
missed them.
Benson:
Well, I haven’t. It’s enough having to clean up after you,
Billy. The rest of them are worse.
<The
door opens and in come Burt, Chester, Jessica, Mallu, Corinne,
Eunice and Dutch.>
Burt:
We’re home!
Billy:
Corinne! Eunice!
<Billy
runs over and hugs Corinne and Eunice>
Corinne:
Oh Billy, it’s so great to see you again.
Billy:
It’s great to see the both of you again. Are you both okay?
Eunice:
Oh, it was just awful in that dungeon. But we’re fine now.
Billy:
Great.
Eunice:
And the best part is that Dutch is finally out of jail.
Billy:
Yes, that is great. It’s good to see you, Dutch.
Dutch:
Great to see you too, Billy.
Billy:
Mom, dad, it’s great to see the two of you too.
Jessica:
It’s wonderful to be back, Billy. How is everything with
you? Has everything been okay?
Billy:
I’ll tell you about it later.
Jessica:
Oh, I can’t wait to hear it. I hope it’s good.
Benson: Oh, it will be…
Chester:
So son, how was it to be all alone at home?
Billy:
Surprisingly, I missed all of you a lot.
Benson:
Well, I didn’t.
Chester:
It’s good to see you too, Benson.
Eunice:
Well I don’t about you guys, but I’m totally exhausted.
Being locked up in a dungeon sure makes you tired.
Corinne:
I’m tired too. So, Dutch, what do you say we go upstairs and
get some rest?
Eunice:
Oh is that what you’re calling it? Rest?
Corinne:
Oh shut up, Eunice.
Dutch:
Girls girls, please let’s not fight…you’ll share me!
Eunice:
Okay, but I get you first.
Corinne:
NO WAY!
<Corinne
and Eunice continue to argue as they head upstairs with
Dutch.>
Mallu:
Well it’s been fun. But I have to see some clients, so…
Chester:
And don’t come back.
Jessica:
Chester, why don’t you go too, down to your new home in the
basement?
Chester:
But, Jess…
Jessica:
NOW, Chester.
Chester:
Oh all right. Bye everyone.
<Chester
and Mallu leave >
Jessica:
Benson, why don’t you go prepare the menu for tonight’s
special dinner?
Benson:
I guess I can do that.
Jessica:
And Billy can help you.
Billy:
I can?
Jessica:
Yes, Billy.
Billy:
Fine.
Jessica:
Good, I’ll be along to help you shortly.
Benson:
Okay.
<Benson
and Billy leave. Now only Jessica and the Campbells are left
in the room.>
Danny:
So, Burt…how did it feel on your first job as the sheriff?
Burt:
Oh, it felt great. Really great. And how were things here?
Danny:
Things were good. I’ve prepared a memo for you.
Burt:
Good.
<There
is a moment of silence.>
Jessica:
Oh Burt…why don’t you just tell them?
Jodie:
Tell us what?
Burt:
Oh, I can’t.
Jessica:
Come on, Burt. They have to find out eventually.
Jodie:
What are you guys talking about?
Burt:
Well, Jodie, Corinne and Eunice and Dutch weren’t the only
people we found in Texas.
Jodie:
Whom else did you find?
Danny:
Did you find any cowboys? Please tell me you found some
cowboys, Burt.
Jodie:
Danny, there aren’t any more cowboys.
Danny:
Yes there are. I saw this movie just the other day and the
cowboys were all in it.
<Mike
nudges Wendy>
Mike:
And this guy is our deputy sheriff?
Wendy:
I know…amazing isn’t it?
Burt:
Danny, forget the cowboys. We didn’t find any cowboys.
Danny:
Oh…so what did you find?
Burt:
Wait here for a minute.
<Burt
leaves and comes back holding the hand of Mary’s Lookalike.
He leads her into the room. Everyone gasps when they see
her.>
Jodie:
Ma?
Wendy:
Oh my god. It’s my grandmother.
Mike:
I thought you said she was dead.
Wendy:
That’s what everybody said.
Maggie:
Okay. Mike, why don’t you and I leave? This is family
business.
Mike:
You’re right. Wendy, I’ll call you later.
Wendy:
Okay.
Jodie:
Thanks, Maggie.
Maggie:
You’re welcome.
<Maggie
and Mike leave>
Danny:
Ma! Don’t you recognize us?
Mary’s
Lookalike: Who are all these people?
Burt:
Well these are my sons Danny, Jodie and Chuck. And over there
is my granddaughter Wendy.
Jodie:
Burt, what’s wrong with her? Why can’t she remember any of
us?
Burt:
Well, I’m not sure. Heck, we’re not even sure that this is
really your mother.
Jodie:
It has to be her!
Burt:
For all we know this can be another one of Ingrid’s tricks.
Mary’s
Lookalike: Are you all Mary’s family?
Danny:
Yes, ma. We’re your family.
Mary’s
Lookalike: Even him? <Points to Bob>
Bob:
Of course. Mary was always my favorite person in the family.
Chuck:
Don’t lie, Bob.
Bob:
Hey, don’t call me a liar.
Chuck:
But that’s what you are.
<Chuck
and Bob continue to argue>
Mary’s
Lookalike: I’m sorry I asked.
Jessica:
Chuck, why don’t you and Bob go into the kitchen and help
Benson cook dinner?
Bob:
Great idea. I love cooking.
Chuck:
Me too. But Bob…try not to spill everything on me.
Bob:
Well, you’re a klutz.
Chuck:
So are you!
<Chuck
and Bob leave the room while arguing>
Mary’s
Lookalike: Your son has got a wonderful act going there.
Burt:
Well, unfortunately…it’s not an act.
Jodie:
Just forget about them. Ma, we’re going to take you home and
take care of you so you can remember.
Mary’s
Lookalike: Oh my god…Mary was so lucky to have a wonderful
family like you. I’m sorry if me being here is causing you
pain. I’ll leave.
Jessica:
No you won’t. Jodie, she will stay here with me and I will
get her to remember.
Jodie:
Are you sure about this, Aunt Jessica?
Jessica:
Yes, I am. Mary will stay with me and I will have the best
doctors looking after her and helping her remember.
Jodie:
I guess this will be okay.
Danny:
Yeah. And we’ll be by every day to visit.
Mary’s
Lookalike: I will like that.
Jodie:
Great.
Mary’s
Lookalike: Boy, I’m getting tired. Can I just go to my room
and sleep?
Jessica:
Sure. I’ll show it to you. This way.
<Jessica
and Mary’s Lookalike leave>
Jodie:
This is unbelievable.
Wendy:
It’s like grandma is back from the dead.
Burt:
Well I hate to put a damper on the celebration but we’re
unsure that it’s even Mary.
Jodie:
It is her. I can feel it.
Danny:
Me too.
Burt:
Well, I can only hope that it is your mother. Now why don’t
we go home and come back later to see her?
<Suddenly
the kitchen door opens and out comes Chuck without Bob. Then
we see Bob being thrown out the door.>
Benson:
AND DON’T COME BACK!
Bob:
Gee, what a grump. I just told him his chicken soup could use
more flavor and he went nuts.
Jodie:
Come on guys. We’re going home.
<The
Campbells leave>
