Man-In-Sea

Scene 30

LINK

I let him talk first. I wanted to know what he thought of it.

CLAY

Pretty cool, Dad.

ED

Your mother is going to hate it.

CLAY

How much did you buy?

ED

For what I paid, I’d better have gotten half of Canada.

CLAY

Mom doesn’t know?

ED

I told her I was investing in some commercial property.

CLAY

She’s going to flip her lid.

ED

I was looking for slightly bigger lodgings, but at least this one has rooms for each of us.

CLAY

Mom won’t leave New York for good.

ED

No, but the lake is big enough for me to land and take off the plane, so I can still take her every so often. I mean I’ll still have to oversee the occasional function of the company... at least until I can sell all my shares.

CLAY

What are we going to do out here, Dad?

ED

I don’t know, probably a lot of hiking. Maybe some canoeing.

CLAY

Cool.

ED

I think I hear your brother shouting.

CLAY

They’re here! Come on, let’s help them bring in the food. I’m starved!
