BIRTHRIGHT

CHLOE IS IN HER ROOM AND SAM COMES IN TO TALK TO HER

Sam: "Hey, sweetie (Sam kisses Chloe on her head). Chloe, you wanna...you wanna come over her and talk to me for a second (They go and sit down facing eachother). I was...I was turning off your computer last night and uh, well, I accidentally saw your report."

Chloe: "I'm sorry. I know it's not really exactly true."

Sam: "No, no, uh, a lot of it was wonderful though. I mean, the parts about what we do together and uh...but no, you're right. A lot of it wasn't true."

Chloe: "I know."

Sam: "Chloe, do you feel bad about Mom because of what Grandma said? Is that what this is all about?"

Chloe: "No. See, there's this report about our parents' jobs and we're going to pick one to come in and talk to us and I wanted you to be it so bad because I'm really proud of you. But I didn't know what to say. I just wanted to stay home because...I was scared."

Sam: "Because I told you not to talk about my work."

Chloe: "It's okay. I'll just tell them you have a secret job. Top secret."

Sam: "You know what, I'm gonna tell you a secret. Me, your mother, I'm scared to talk in front of other people. I mean, not like people like you, you know or Bailey but...strangers. I think that talking to an audience would probably scare me to death."

Chloe: "I thought only kids were afraid of stuff like that."

Sam: "You'll find out as you get older...grown-ups are really just pretty much big kids (They both laugh and hug eachother)."
