Rules Of Nipper-Morning After (5)

Morning After #5

(At the house : Sunday AM)

(Girls at the table eating eggs and bacon. Nipper waddling around on the floor at their feet, hitting on pieces of bacon scraps, Peggy on phone talking to her Mom)

Peggy

"Yea Mom, he's a cute little thing, you'd just Love him...and I figure, since Ceasar died, this would give you a little company...security too!"

Mom (Ethyl)

"Well dear, as long as he's not a handful, I would Love to have him guard the old house...haven't heard that old dogie door creaking in some time, are you coming over this morning?"

Peggy

"As soon as I get the girls dressed, we'll be on our way, okay?"

Ethyl

"All right Dear, I'm doing brownies this morning, so don't keep 'em waiting!"

Peggy

"Oh, the girls will Love that...Love ya Mom, bye!"

(David waking up, walking down the stairs)

David

"what...did I miss breakfast again?"

Peggy

"I left you a plate in the oven...I got to go get the girls dressed, and just to let you know...I decided to take you up on that demand notice, the mandate, keep peace in the house, whatever you want to call it...Nipper's going to Mom's, is that a good thing or what?"

David

"Well it's for the best, all for the best...down the road you'll see that I was right."

Peggy (sarcastic)

"Of course you are my dear, your always right, guess I'm just a little slow getting the message...dog gone it, guess I'll learn one of these days!"

(David eating, looking under table at Nipper)

David

"Not sure what that dog's gonna look like when he gets big, but he is different...spirited little sucker."

(Peggy going upstairs, talking down)

Peggy

"The girls tink he's one of a kind, they Love him, that's all that matters...unlike some people!"

David

"Unlike some what?"

Peggy

"How much cash it puts in their pocket!"

<Scene Close>

(Girls getting into car, Nipper in a make-shift hamster cage, Peggy turns at front door and comments to David who has already made himself a morning toddy)

Peggy

"Any last words to Nipper Dave?"

David (laughing)

"Yea, have a nice life, don't drive Granny crazy or anything...I'll see you later Peg."

Peggy

"Well, it's all day to day from here...that means in the eye of the beholder, it's not one sided, speaking of us. To work, it has to be a shared experience...think about it, see ya later!"

<Scene Switch>

(Arriving at Grandma's Antebellum Civil War period house in North Tampa. It sits on thirty acres and has a one-hundred and twenty foot barn that sits adjacent to the house. There is a wooden picket fence surrounding the property. Grandma sits in a rocker under the long porch veranda. The girls bolt out of the car, Sandy carrying Nipper in the hamster cage)

Sandy

"Grandma oh, it's so good to see you again...come meet Nipper, come meet Nipper, oh...your just gonna Love him!"

(Pulling Nipper out of cage, putting dog right on Grandma's lap, her eyes light up with the dog's presence)

Grandma

"Well Nipper...welcome home my dear, you and me are going to become quite the item around here."

Rebecca

"Yea, if you put your finger to his mouth, he nips it...go head, try it!"

Sandy

"That's how we named him."

Peggy

"As you can figure, David just about had a fit when he showed up...all he saw was money falling out of his pocket, I just don't know if I did the right thing Mom."

Grandma

"I told you not to nest up on a rebound...too many emotions, all pent up, and I know it seemed like the cure at the time...but trust me, I'm old, but I've had my share of suitors in my day, some honorable, some worse than rats...you got to make a choice in the matter, or drive yourself to drink!"

Sandy

"Grandma, can we show Nipper the house, we'll be careful?"

Grandma

"Of course my dear, made you some nice brownies, they're on top of the stove, just cut 'em up, but none for Nipper understand...his system can't take it, it'll make him sick, now you go on girls."

Peggy

"I don't know about driving me to drink, might have to start taking some sedatives or something if David and me can't iron itself out."

Grandma

"Yea, don't get like me, I'm already a walking pharmacy as it is...I swear, if some of those pills didn't have different shapes and colors, I wouldn't know what I was taking!"

Peggy

"Yea, I worry about you mixing all that stuff up...are you sure the doctor knows what he's giving you?"

Grandma

"Apparently he does...he is the doctor, and I've been seeing him for an awful long time!"

Peggy

"I still wish you'd get a second opinion, you know...just to make sure."

Grandma

"Dear, I feel good (doing a little dance), I'm happy, stop being such a worry-wart, okay?"

Peggy

"I am kinda of a worry-wart, huh?"

Grandma

(laughing) "Since you were a little girl, you were my little Savior, and I wouldn't want you any other way...come on, let's see how the girls are doing...sure hope Nipper likes the house!"

Cash And Carry #4

(At the House, Saturday PM)

(Guys Start showing up for the sale, David handing out free beer and wine coolers, walking around, shaking every one's hands)

Jong (Asian Customer)

"How do you manage so many pretty dogs...I like this one, he look at me nice!"

David

"Well that's a good one, ah Jong...hey where are you from anyway?'

Jong

"Eh Bangkok, I immigrate, do computers!"

David

"Of course you do...what else...I'll get back to you in a second."

(Walking to the next gentleman)

David

Bill

"I'm sorry, I'm Bill, first time over here...just Love these Pitts, ah these two over here are my favorites...thought I'd take them to my ranch up in Lakeland...raise them for security...this looks like a girl and...yep, this is a boy!"

David

"Well, either way...they're five hundred a piece...cash works for me if you want to close the sale now, you know...before anyone else makes an offer!"

Bill

"Don't worry, here ya go, let's take care of that right now...hey, by the way...do you have anymore of that onion dip...that's got to be homemade if there ever was?"

David

"Yea, let me check with the little woman, be right back!"

(David walking back toward kitchen, counting one-hundred dollar bills out. David's foot squishes onto the backside of Nipper, who's waddling across hallway. Nipper let's out a terrific yelp. David looks down with a disgusting look on his face, and kicks the dog, who slides across the waxed wooden floor, slamming into he wall)

David

"You stinking mutt, who invited your sorry ass into the room?"

(Peggy comes running into hallway)

Peggy

"What in the world is going on...David, did you just kick that dog, or did he just manage to slam himself into that wall by accident?"

(David laughing to himself)

David

"Who knows, who cares...I just want this dog out of this house by morning...the sooner, the better...you understand me woman?"

Peggy

"Don't talk to me like that...I have a good mind to..."

David

"What, what are you going to do with that good mind of yours...what are you going to do now...your just going to have to get use'd to having a real man in the house...cause if it doesn't suit you, it's going to cost you a pretty good coin to have it any other way, you here me?"

Peggy

"So, we're going to play it like that, huh...mine is yours, yours is yours, so to hell with everybody else!"

(David realising he's drunk, trying to look a little remorseful)

David

"Hon, it's not like that...it's just that we're...freshly married, I'm not use'd to being with someone just all of a sudden twenty four/ seven...give me me a chance to work my ya-ya's out, it'll all be good, you'll see!"

(Nipper rolls on David's foot...he loses it again)

"But this damn dog has got to go, why don't you send him to your Mom's or something...she's got plenty of space to let him sprawl...the girls can visit him, it's a perfect fit for everyone!"

Peggy

"Okay, alright...let me see what Mom says...oh, by the way, good luck with your sale...while your at it, why don't you try to sell Becky too...her breeding days aren't over yet...maybe you could do a silent auction or something!"

(David shrugging his shoulders, starts walking back into living room)

David

"I'm done talking here, I'm gone!"

Memories on Mother's Day

Memories On Mother's Day

Hey Mom...can you hear me?

I'm calling to you...

You passed to the light, hope I'm getting through;

Did you know I moved to L.A.?

So many things to do!

But your up there, I still feel your care;

Your hugs and touch, I miss that share.

Just wanted to say how much I miss you;

Looking down from above...

Happy Mother's Day, Kat and Me send our Love!

Kirk

I was born in Baptist Hospital in August 1936. Attended L.S. Rugg Grammar School and graduated Bolton High School in 1954. My Dad worked at Paramount movie theater, Saenger Movie Theater (which sat between Schwartzberg's and Paramount Theater, across from Kresses and Lerner's. He later worked at the Don Theater.

Rapides Parish Courthouse, Alexandria, Louisiana

He was an elected Police Juror at the time the new Court House was built and his name is inscribed on the original plaque.

My Mother was Ethel Welch Flowers now deceased. She worked for many years at Modern Appliance Mart located on Third Street a block down from Hotel Bentley and Weiss & Goldrings.

Thank you so much for bringing back so many fond memories of my home town. I left Alexandria after marriage and moved to Florida, back to Alexandria where my daughter was born at St. Francis Cabrini Hospital. Moved to New Orleans in 1970. I met my husband when he was stationed at England Air Force Base. He later worked for Texas & Pacific Railroad which was merged with Missouri Pacific which was then merged with Union Pacific. After my husband's death, I moved to Las Vegas, NV in 1987 and after I retired moved to Henderson, NV in 2002.

I am going to look through a lot of old photos that I have somewhere in a box and if I find anything of significance I will be sure to submit them to you. I will be returning to Alexandria the end of April for my 50th High School Reunion and look forward to the visit.

Like a lot of other people, Alexandria will always be home to me no matter where I roam.

Rules Of Nipper-The Puppy Sale (3)

The Puppy Sale #3

One Week Later: David and Peggy Brown's garage-Saturday-9 a.m.

(David is all excited as he sets up view table for puppies. A little altar is established so that Becky the mother can show off her new litter. He's whistling, "Fly Me To The Moon" while he works, Peggy walks in)

Peggy

"Boy, your certaintly chipper this morning...thought you were going to lay in bead with me and whisper sweet nothings into my ear."

David

"Sorry Dear, but duty calls...wanna make sure everything is just right for the big day!"

Peggy

"You know, we ought to use some of that money and start one of those five-seven one programs for the girl's education."

David

"Well, this particular money's already going toward a good cause."

Peggy

"And just what is it that you have to have Mister?"

David

"A multi-gauge bullet reloader...I've been dying to get one of those babies since I can't remember when!"

Peggy

"You've got to be kidding me, just what is the deal with that?"

David

"Going into the reloading business, lot's of money to be made reloading your own custom rounds...you can make a regular bullet kick harder, travel faster, further, and they save money, too!"

Peggy

"Eh, I don't know David, all these guns, bullets, gun powder laying around, I don't know if I like all this stuff around the girls."

David

"What's not to like...I can teach them gun safety, safe ways to handle them, how to use them, and best of all...how to defend themselves...I swear, you've got these girls all closeted up, it's ridiculous!"

Peggy

"Look, these were my girls first, and I've been responsible for them long before you came along...I think I know what's best for them!"

David

"Where are the girls anyway?"

Peggy

"Upstairs playing with that dog you didn't want, you know...the one you lost the five-hundred bucks on?"

<Scene Switch>

(In the girl's room upstairs, Sandy and Rebecca play with the yet to be named dog up on the bed)

Sandy

"You think David...I mean Daddy will let us keep him?"

Rebecca

"Probably not, knowing him, he drinks too much...but just maybe if we can catch him in a good mood."

Sandy

"When does that happen...I mean, let me know,,,why does he always have to do things for himself?"

Rebecca

"I know, your right, it's always about him, got rules for everybody except himself!"

(Sandy with finger in dog's mouth, suddenly feels a sharp jab)

Sandy

"Wow, that dog just nipped me!"

Rebecca

"I didn't think puppies had teeth, especially that young,

(Both girls laughing)

just look at how he's trying to chew your finger off!"

Sandy

"I want to call him Nipper...whatcha think?"

Rebecca

"Yea, that's kinda catchy...but we still don't even know if we can keep him."

(Rebecca yelling downstairs)

"Hey Mom, can we keep the dog...please?"

(Mom yelling upstairs)

Peggy

"You girls just be patient and not rush things...you here me?"

Sandy

"But, how does he get to sell all the dogs and we don't even have one for ourselves?"

Peggy

"You know, for a girl your age, you sure are good with analogies!"

Sandy

"What's an analogy?"

Peggy

"A sentence of words use'd to compare one idea with another...like saying an orange is round, like an apple, anyway...getting back to the dog, that dog I swear is pretty cute and friendly, just seems really different, I kinda like him, too!"

Rebecca

"Oh yea Mom, he's really friendly too...I don't care what Dad says, I'm gonna figure out some way where we can keep him!"

Peggy

"Well now, you've got to consider a few things honey...okay?"

Rebecca

"Please Mom, don't start with a lecture...I know it cost money to have a pet, like a dog or a cat, like a hamster or a horse...all the kids at school say they have to do extra chores, stuff like that!"

Peggy

"And the kids at school are smart...a lot smarter than I give them credit for...point being, they're right, it's a real cost and it's real maintenance...so think it out girls, just make sure you know what your getting yourselves into...that's all I'm saying here!"

Peggy

Rules Of Nipper-The Tagline

Nipper is the story of a a runt dog, born at the same time, from the same litter, of AKC pitbull dogs. The drunked

stepfather who just married a middle-aged women who has two girls, and has recently widowed. She has a house and a sizable endowment from her previous husband's insurance policy.

Nipper is in the way, as the stepfather is consumed with his own desire for personal capital, barely giving time to his new family. Since the dog is not marketable, he banishes it to his new wife's mother's house to exist.

Nipper is involved in a horrible tractor accident by the local guy who mows her field every other week. He turns the dog over out of shear panic to an old freind of his, who is an ex-army field medic.

Working against all odds, the medic rebuilds "Nipper", who has eventually recovered and now has it out for everyone and everything around him, all but the girl that loves him...no matter what!
