triangle Script 대본 Roteiro Texto


Alex: Mom! Dad!

Claire: What happened?

Alex: Luke just shot me.

Luke: I didn't mean to.

Claire: Are you ok?

Alex: No. The little bitch shot me.

Claire: Language!

Luke: They’re only plastic BBs. It was an accident.

Claire: What did I tell you would happen if we got him a gun? Deal with this.

Phil: Buddy. Uncool.

Claire: That’s it. No no no! The agreement was that if he shoots someone, you shoot him.

Phil: We were serious about that?

Claire: Yes we were. And now you have to follow through.

Luke: I am so sorry.

Claire: Liar! Go!

Phil: He’s got a birthday party.

Alex: What’s more important here, Dad?

Claire: You can shoot him afterwards. He’ll be home at two.

Phil: I can’t shoot him at two. I am showing a house at two.

Alex: What about three?

Claire: No. He’s at a soccer game at three. And then we gotta leave for that dinner thing at five. 4:15. You could shoot him at 4:15.

Phil: Yes. I guess that works for me.

Claire: Shoot Luke.

Phil: Sorry dude. It’s on the calendar.

Luke: Oh come on.


Phil: Buddy. What are you wearing?

Luke: Nothing.

Phil: Uh-un. No jacket. One hat. How many pairs of underwear do you have on?

Luke: One ….. six.

Phil: I want you to know I’m not enjoying this. But this is an important lesson that you are learning. So soak it, keep it.

Luke: You’re too close. It’s gonna hurt.

Phil: It’s supposed to hurt.

Luke: And why are you smiling?

Phil: I’m … what? Oh forget it. I can’t do this. The point is you are scared. I think you’ve learned your lesson.

Luke: Ow! You hit my bone!

Phil: It was an accident!

Luke: I thought you were my friend!

Phil: I am your friend!

Haley: Dad! You have got to talk to mom! She is like completely freaking out and embarrassing me!

Phil: Well honey your mom is not always as cool about things as ….. What is with this thing?



Luke: Dad … this is the coolest bike ever.

Phil: Awesome. So listen buddy. Certain members of this family don’t think you can take care of this bad boy.

Luke: You mean mom?

Phil: Your words, not mine. Look. Your mom and I are a team. And she …. we feel like this is an chance for you to show some responsibility. Don’t make us look like jerks here.

Luke: I won’t.

Phil: Ok. One more rule.

Luke: What?

Phil: Have like three butt loads of fun.

Luke: Thanks Dad.

Phil: Ten minutes after making a promise to me, he leaves his bike unlocked. All I can hear is Claire’s voice in my head. He’s not responsible. You never should have given him a bike. I know. I do a pretty good Claire.

Phil: So I decided to teach him a lesson and let him think his bike was stolen. Now I know that sounds kind of rough, but sometimes it’s a dad’s job to be the tough guy.

Phil: Excuse me. Thank you. On your left. My left. Your right.

Phil: He blew it! He made me look bad. No. He made his mother and I look bad. We are a team. Luke. You in there?

Luke: Hey Dad.

Phil: Hey. Hey buddy.
