Part 1 Part 3

Context: You were just trying to get in touch with your son, whose been missing for weeks now when you were taken from your home by an unknown assailant. Seems your son might be in with a bad crowd... one of whom appears to be quite the silver fox. You spoke with Aldo Mitzrati, who was rather surprised to find out who you were. There was chemistry you weren't expecting, and you agreed to a date to see if your son might get the hint that he needs to come home.

Setting: The Listener's home

[A] = Aldo Mitzrati, the gentlemanly mobster

[D] = Danny, your son. Not feeling it.

[Scene opens at home]

[SFX: The phone ringing/the Listener rushing over and answering the call]

[Pause?]

[A] “Good morning, beautiful. I hope an early morning meeting with a mobster won’t spoil your day too badly, eh?”

[Pause <3]

[He laughs with surprising affection]

[A] “Sorry, I alliterate when I’m a little nervous. Hey, I hope this won’t come off too badly with this, but my Ma accidentally singed my good suit a bit…”

[Pause?]

[A] “Ah, well, you know… I wanted to look nice for our first date. Was gonna send a limo over, get you a spa date, send you to a nice boutique to pick out some nice clothes, and then meet you at a nice place for dinner, you know?”

[Pause <3]

[A] “Eheh… I’m glad you’re so relaxed, Miss, truly. You had an alternate idea, it sounds like?”

[Pause]

[He’s quiet for a moment or two before he answers:]

[A] “Would I maybe be OK just coming over for a home-cooked meal and maybe doing the spa thing together?”

[Pause…]

[A] “No, no, I get it! I don’t really get to go out and just hang with other adults these days, either… I don’t know if I’m much of a spa person, but I’m also old enough to know that I’m not so hung up on what ‘being a man’ is. Some of the scariest men I’ve met have had well manicured-nails while punching me in the gut.”

[...]

[A, laughing a little] “I’m being careful, Miss, I promise. Alright. Unfortunately, I have your address already, so do we want to stick with 8 PM and I’ll drop by?”

[Pause?]

[He laughs]

[A] “No allergies, my sweet, but you’re sweet for asking. Surprise me! I haven’t met a lot of dishes I didn’t like. I’ll bring a bottle of wine, mmkay?”

[Pause…]

[A] “...Honey, I am a billionaire. You’re not gonna offend me, OK? If I spend money on you, it is because I want to, not because I want to own you…”

[...?]

[He gets the tiniest bit flustered]

[A] “OK, I meant honey in an endearing way, and you’re using that to fluster me! Rude!”

[Pause <3]

[He laughs]

[A] “Yeah, yeah… See you at 8, OK?”

[Pause!]

[A] “Hehe, yeah. Let me know if Danny shows up early. See you later, sweetheart.”

[Scene opens back at home]

[SFX: A knock on the door]

[You hurry over and answer. Aldo smiles politely at you, dressed a bit nicer than he needed to be]

[A] “Hello, hello… Oh my. Is that pretty sundress all for me?”

[Pause <3]

[He chuckles and steps inside]

[A] “Yep, shoes off. Understood. Huh… This is a cozy little place. Reminds me of the house I grew up in.”

[Pause?]

[SFX: The doors closing]

[A] “Yeah, Pops left Ma to do it solo… Saint of a woman to have dealt with my little thug self AND my sister’s drama queen schtick, hehe. Don’t know how moms do it, you know? If a kid said any of the shit I said to her, I’d be calculating how hard I’d need to kick the little brat to make a football goal.”

[Pause!]

[He laughs harder and follows you to the kitchen]

[A] “Hey! I did warn you, I’m a bad man. Ooh, that smells incredible… What am I being blessed with?”

[Pause <3]

[A] “Homemade fettucini alfredo??? Miss! You’re spoiling me! Hand-rolling noodles like that takes ages!”

[Pause <3]

[A] “No trouble, she says… Sheesh. Might explain why Danny is such a good cook, actually. You teach him?”

[...]

[SFX: Aldo sitting at the kitchen table/pouring two glasses of wine]

[A] “Here, the wine I promised… So, you mean to tell me that Danny really wanted to go to culinary school before he got wrapped up in all of this? Mmh… Yeah, he tried to tell me that he was in ‘community college to get credits’. That kid is far too good at lying…”

[...]

[SFX: Pasta being served]

[A] “Hey, now… Look, some kids, some people, are just like that. Mmph, holy shit this alfredo is, nom, delicious! Er, sorry, damn that’s good, though. Did he, uh… Ever know his father?”

[Pause]

[You sit and explain things]

[SFX: Silverware clinking/drinks being moved to fill in the pause]

[A] “...Ah. So, the baby daddy tried to turn Danny against you so he could rake in child support payments, but Danny eventually figured that out, came back, apologized and you got sole custody? Explains where he learned how to lie…”

[Aldo runs a hand through his dark hair thoughtfully. A gray or silver hair winks at you, from time to time]

[A] “... I’m sorry you had to put up with such a piece of shit. Say, where’s this guy live, now?”

[Pause <3]

[Aldo laughs and raises his hand for peace]

[A] “Alright, alright, no assassinations… Just saying, you got a mafia don on your arm for a bit, my dear! You should take advantage.”

[Pause…]

[A] “...Yeah. Sometimes, it is just nice to have someone who understands. True… Tell you something I don’t understand - the Hell is that in front of the TV in your living room?”

[Pause!]

[He laughs]

[A] “A dance mat? Your workout or something?”

[Pause…]

[You get up and go turn the game on. It’s loud and obnoxious, as always. You pick your favorite song and just go to town, having a blast]

[SFX: The game being played - VA’s discretion/Aldo approaching]

[As you dance, his eyes are on you. For once, you aren’t playfully being called ‘cringe’]

[Pause!]

[A, laughing] “Wait, where’d you learn to dance like this??”

[Pause!]

[He laughs harder]

[A] “OK, you aren’t allowed to tell stories that make Danny cute, OK? I’m meant to be mad at him! 20k mad at him! You’re telling me that he used to make you sit and watch meme videos with him that had a lot of dancing clips in them, so you two would do the dances together?”

[Pause!]

[A] “...Alright, you know what? Plug in that second dance pad, let’s go!”

[Pause!]

[You excitedly pause the game and get the rest of it hooked up]

[A, laughing] “My nieces made me learn some dances for their talent shows and routines, so I guess I’m not the worst dancer on the planet… Though, I will admit, doing a really sarcastic twerk in front of my sister is not something I’ll ever live down.”

[Pause <3]

[SFX: The dance game being obnoxious/them dancing together]

[A] “Hoho, going for a master-level song on my first round? Ma’am… You’re cruel!”

[Pause <3]

[He gives you a mischievous grin]

[A] “Oh, you think I’m more than capable, huh? Alright…”

[SFX: Them laughing/dancing together/video game noises - VA’s discretion]

[You dance with him, laughing and legitimately having fun like you haven’t in a while]

[A] “Whoa, watch your step, Miss!”

[You slip on the pad, hurtled backward. Aldo grasps you around your waist]

[Pause!]

[A] “I gotcha! Don’t worry, I gotcha…”

[...]

[He holds you up, still dipping you by accident]

[A] “Phew … You OK?”

[...]

[A] “Eheh… At least I caught you, yeah?”

[Pause <3]

[He chuckles and stands you up properly]

[A] “I’m not THAT strong. I work out, but I can’t bench more than three hundred.”

[...]

[A] “...Jesus Christ, you really are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen…”

[...Pause <3]

[He smiles warmly with a little shrug]

[A] “Maybe I am willing to cross that line a little… We’ve stayed up all night talking on that silly chat app, and even though it’s only been a few weeks, I just… feel comfortable with you. The more time I spend with you, the more aware I become that Danny’s going to want me out of the picture the moment he pays me back… and it’d ultimately be bad for business if I went making a mockery of him…”

[...]

[Aldo sighs. He’s still holding you and you don’t really mind]

[A] “...I had… a really, really nice night with you, Miss. Truly.”

[Pause]

[A] “And, with that in mind, it’d be a major dick move to kiss you right now, knowing I might have to ghost you for the sake of my business…”

[...]

[A] “Hey…”

[He gently tilts your head up to look at him]

[A] “...It’ll be OK. Alright? Even if I have to go, there’s someone out there that’s gonna admire and love you for the beautiful, sweet, strong person you are…”

[...]

[He fights it for an admirably long amount of time]

[A] “But God, do I want it to be me…”

[He kisses you and you return it, wrapping your arms around his neck]

[Pause <3]

[SFX: The front door opening]

[You both freeze as the front door opens and Danny plods in]

[D] “Ma, I’m home… Look, I’m sorry I didn’t message back, I just have been having some trouble at work with my… b-boss…”.

[He stops dead as he sees the two of you]

[...]

[A] “...So, uh… Funny story-”.

[Danny proceeds to let out the most unholy screech you’ve ever heard in your entire life, pointing at Aldo as if he’s a cartoon villain]

[SFX: An appropriate screech from Danny]

[D] “YOU’RE BANGING MY MOM?!!?”

[A] “No, no! This is just a first date!”

[Pause!]

[D] “YOU KISSED MY MOM ON THE FIRST DATE!? THAT’S IT, STEP OUTSIDE, RIGHT NOW, LET’S GO!”

[You and Aldo exchange glances. He sighs and rolls his shoulders as he steps away from you, cracking his knuckles]

[A] “Alright. Let’s go, little boy.”

[To be continued?]

Note: I don’t know why but I imagine Danny’s ‘screech’ is something you’d hear from The Amazing World of Gumball.
