Scene 3
Young and Wild
(Peter is walking into his house. Aunt May notices his bruise.)
Aunt May- Oh my god, Peter, what happened to your face?!
Peter- I, uh, walked into a pole.
(Enter Uncle Ben)
Uncle Ben- Hey Peter, oh geez, what’d you do this time?
Aunt May- Walked into a pole. I know you’re lying.
Uncle Ben- Oh he’s just a young and wild kid. Remember when we were young and wild?
Aunt May- Yes I do. But I never walked into a pole.
Uncle Ben- Sure you did. Peter, will you come help me with these boxes.
(Peter walks down into the basement with Uncle Ben. They start picking up boxes.)
Uncle Ben- So what does the other guy look like?
Peter- Clean as a whistle.
(Peter looks into the box he is holding. It has a picture album.)
Peter- What’s this photo album?
Uncle Ben- What? Oh, you found it! Your parents gave that to me the night they dropped you off here and told me to give it to you when you were of age. Unfortunately, I lost it, but there you go! Take it.

(Peter is sitting on the floor of his room with the book in front of him. He opens it and starts looking at the pictures. Some are of his father writing a formula on a chalkboard. Some are wedding pictures from his parent’s. Some are of him as a baby, or a boy. A tear runs down Peter’s cheek, he wipes it away.)
Aunt May- Peter, dinner!
(Peter closes the photo album and slides it under his bed.)
Peter- Coming!
