Sessions from Confessions

Session 7 : School

Legacy Academy has a strong emphasis on creativity points. Does Astro play an instrument?

Atlas. Like I said. His name is Atlas, and yes, his mother has been teaching him to play the piano.

All Legalos children take piano lessons.

Don't you think Atlas would like this Robi?

I do, I'm just not sure I'm impressed yet. He can't even remember our kids name.

Are those kids really playing the theme to "Indiana Jones" ?

Now I'd like to show you our Physics Lab

The playground?

We don't think of this as play Mrs. Legalos. There is serious science going on out here.

So what do you think of the shiny private school Cali?

I really don't know what to think.

Can't you see it? It's good to be bored. The playground is a physics lab. Come on... Indiana Jones. Atlas would be lucky if he didn't leave here in aspiration failure every day.

A lot has changed since I went to school...

I'm sure all of my schmoozing has made you hungry Mrs. Legalos. Would you like to join our students for lunch in our cafeteria?

Errr, you're not serving pancakes are you?

Not for lunch. But all of our food is organic and is prepared fresh daily from scratch.

Just exactly what are the ingredients in "scratch" ?

Can I interest you in a nutritious and delicous lunch? I'm sure our cooking will impress you. Spaghetti? Salmon? Pork Chops?

I think I'll pass. I'm allergic to cafeterias. Did you see where my husband went?

So your son would be head of the class. We'd provide all of his wardrobe and makeup. All assignments completed on set would be given full credit. As an added incentive, we're prepared to offer to cover the cost of tuission for the full 12 years, so long as filming continues.

No Burke.

He'll never be bullied or picked on. He'll be given special treatment. I can probably guarantee an exemption from library fines as well.

Would a court order spell it out more clearly?

Oh Law School? Well I supposed we can write up a provisionary renewal for a continuation if you think he'll be attending law school. Better yet, why not cast him as a child genius lawyer attending school? He could sue classmates for copyright infringements.

What on earth are you doing here?

I think I forgot to turn in my homework...

Cut the crap Burke, are you thinking you're going to stalk Atlas at school?

Would I do that?

Yes. You would.

Do you hear that Marquette? That's the sound of a restraining order being slapped on you.

Oh, I thought you might be getting fresh with me.

If you want to keep any body parts that you may value, I suggest you never do so much as drive past this school again.

I was telling Robi about this idea for law school...

Stay away from my son Marquette.
