Start of episode
(Woman talking frantically)

GEORGE(VO) How we chose to physically move through life is maybe as 
important as where we go.
who ever first said "it's the journey and not the destination", never took 
the bus. One
meaning of the word mute is to shorten a prison sentence. Commuting is a 
prison sentance.
Freedoms are being systematically stripped away, your freedom of speech, 
freedom of
information, freedom of smell. I would be enough to kill me if  wern't 
already dead

(Woman carries on talking. Toddler pours juice onto Georges lap)

RUBE: Where the heart is in Honduras. four
GEORGE: Casa
RUBE: Nice work peanut
DAISY: Georgia, are you wearing a fragrance this morning?
GEORGE: It's orange juice. I hate the bus
RUBE: Public transportation is the great equalizer
GEORGE: I wanna be equal, fuck equal
MASON: Steal a car
DAISY: What about a bicycle? I once had the Dorothy's original bike from 
Wizard of Oz.
       I knew someone from the props department
MASON: Dont you mean you blew somebody from the props department?
DAISY: Knew blew, tomato, tomahto. Once baby Judy died I didn't want to ride 
it any more.

GEORGE (VO) if I was someone else? introduce myself

JOSH: You been checking the job postings?
GEORGE: No
JOSH: Well i guess youre heading towards full time happy time
GEORGE: (shaking her head verhmently) No
        (Josh moves away from the cubicle, moves back)
JOSH: Ah I was going to say I saw a new posting for a great gig. Pays really 
well. You'll get that bike in a few weeks
GEORGE: Why wouldn't you take the job?
JOSH: I just got here so. They are looking for someone slightly more 
seniority. someone slightly cuter, I guess.(he pulls away from the cubicle 
again)
GEORGE: Oh wait a minute. Can you show me the web page with the posting?
JOSH: Sure I'm Josh

(They shakes hand. Speed cameras to Delores with George Standing in front of 
her)

DELORES: Im not certain that I understand you Milly. youve already contacted 
the employer
GEORGE: Oh, I didn't Josh called them
DOLORES: Who is Josh? Never mind.What did the employer say?
GEORGE: Yes
DOLORES: Yes what?
GEORGE: He said yes I'm hired. I didn't do anything. Josh did everything
DOLORES: Does Josh know you that you are a valuble employee at happy time?
GEORGE: That's very nice of you Dolores, but I thought I'd just look for 
something a little more         living wagish. Like I wanna buy a bike
DOLORES: I wanna ride in the Kentucky Derby but you don't see me racing 
silks do you?. Well when do they want you to begin?
GEORGE: Tommorrow
DOLORES: Tommorrow? Huh Interesting! Well G.F.Y Good for you. Looks like 
I've got a going away party to organise. Excuse me

GEORGE (VO) G.F.M Good for me

JOY: Now here's the deal, he may be the one to have bought this door but I'm 
the one that's putting it in. I'm betting that you are a smart enough dog to 
work that one out JD. Am I right?
(JD barks)
JOY: Well don't say I don't give you anything
JD goes out the dog door)
JOY: Hey, it works
(JD's distant bark)

Transition
Daisy walking down the steps of a studio apartment where a painter is 
painting

DAISY: Hello. C Friedman?
CHRIS: It's Chris
DAISY: Well good morning Chris
CHRIS: How did you get in here?
DAISY: Took the stairs silly
CHRIS: And you are?
DAISY: Well I am Daisy, Daisy Adaire. I'm a patron of the arts
CHRIS: Oh that's too bad
DAISY: Now how on earth could meeting me be bad?
CHIS: Because the people who call themselves patron generally only want to 
talk only about how much a painting is worth, rather than what they see, 
feel
DAISY: Wouldn't one consider both?Art and value? sounds reasonable enough
CHRIS: Nothing about painting is reasonable
DAISY: Huh (walks to the painting) How much?
CHRIS: How much. as in how much did I want to paint that. How much pain was 
I in when I painted doing it, how much joy was I was done? Is that what you 
mean?
DAISY: Yeah. How much?
Chris: It's not for sale
DAISY: well didn't you gallery set a price
CHRIS: I don't have a gallery.
DAISY: That's ridiculous. You work is pretty good. I mean it could sell
CHRIS: That's not why I do it. Besides the greusome truth is that nothing 
ever sells until the artist kicks it
DAISY: Huh
CHRIS: I dont mean to be rude, but I need to get back to work. I'm sorry I 
can't sell you anything
DAISY: These things have a way of sorting themselves out
(Puts out her hand and he kisses it, the soul is taken. She walks away. 
Taking a sip of his drink he paints again. A graveling comes in and swaps 
the drink and the paint turps that is next to it. He drinks the turps, amkes 
gagging noises and falls to the floor dead (Daisy stops walking up the 
stairs)
DAISY: (sighs)I like that painting (goes back for it.)

GEORGE (VO) Suddenly this was it. Moving day and everyone seemed to know. 
Cake requests? Yes. Let there be no cake

DELORES: If you can make a giant sandwich why cant you make a giant Caisa 
dia........ and give me some prices on renting a burro. Stephanie can you 
pass out the party memos. Talk to her Neldo, get back to me pronto. Tell him 
it's Dolores from Happy Time and I will eat his balls for breakfast if he 
disappoints me. Oh phil, pick up the cake at four and I will reimburse you 
from petty cash. Marge, here's the keys to the store room, pinata on the 
third shelf.

(George walks up to Dolores's desk)
GEORGE: I don't want a party
DELORES: Well Milly you are going away and that merits a going away party
GEORGE: It's just that it's really unessessary
DOLORES: You're a member of the Happy Time family. Happy Time has been youre 
home
I don't know if I could actually call it home
(spitefully) Obviously you don't(nervously laugh, cracking smile) Not any 
more. And we'll all miss you (Dolores puts her head down to say that the 
conversation has finished, George walks away)

cuts to
(VO)I haven't been able to Happy time home but other people didn't seem to 
have a problem. I guess making work like home made work feel a little like 
work.

George sits down at her desk
STEPHANIE: Hi
GEORGE: Hey
(reaches for a box under her desk)
STEPHANIE: This is for your stuff
GEORGE: Thanks

HENRY: Huh one of us for a little bit longer than the other
CARY: I screwed one woman when I was 19 and I haven't heard the end of it 
for thirty years

get when ou are forced to travel with the herd

(VO)Tommorrow morning I'll got to Happy Time, with tail between my legs and 
ask Dolres for my old job. Maybe dogs always come back home. Maybe without 
knowing exactly what home looks like, or where home might be, theres a 
mysterious draw.

find it.
