INT. MANHATTAN PENTHOUSE APARTMENT — DAY

JUSTIN SMOAK and GARY COLEMAN play with toy trains.

JUSTIN
Hey, Gary. It crosses my mind that we may not actually be biologically related.

GARY
What’choo talkin’ about, Justin?

JUSTIN
I mean our age difference is like 18 years. So our mother would have had to have been pretty young when she had you, and pretty old when she had me.

GARY
Plus you’re a little taller than I am.

JUSTIN
Yes, that too.

GARY
Hey, Justin. Can I borrow some money?

JUSTIN
I’m not even arbitration-eligible yet, Gary. Sorry. Maybe in a few years.
