Raphael is falling asleep in the smoke-filled sweatlodge.
EXT. LONG SHOT – MOUNTAIN – RAPHAEL - DAY
He wakes on top of a mountain.
RAPHAEL
Okay. This is weird.
GRANDPA (OS)
Well, for you maybe.
GRANDPA, an ancient Native American shaman, is right behind Raphael.
RAPHAEL
Grandpa? Am I dead?
GRANDPA
Not for lack of trying. But no, you're not dead.
RAPHAEL
So this is what it feels like to have a vision...
GRANDPA
Yes. Someone had to tell you what a douche you are being and this seemed to be
the most fun way for me to do it.
RAPHAEL
This is about the breaking up the band.
GRANDPA
No. It's about your political opinion. Moron. Of course it's about the break-up.
RAPHAEL
It's only until Carlos makes the right decision.
GRANDPA
Oh, that will be taken care of. Meanwhile, you need to stop being a douche.
RAPHAEL
Old man, what is your problem?
GRANDPA
You and your punk rock. Stop being so set in your ways. You're a young ma; you
should be exploring, not calcifying. Your dad will be fine. Go elsewhere.
RAPHAEL
But Papa is going to be ---
GRANDPA
He'll be fine, you moron. Go have some fun before you join me here, okay? I
need some stories, and if you stay with your dad, great person that he is, I'm just
going to get some boring stories. So go and fly. Or else.
RAPHAEL
Or else what?
GRANDPA
Or else I'm never telling you where the family treasure is.
RAPHAEL
There is no “family treasure”!
GRANDPA
See, always being a douche! Stop it!
RAPHAEL
I was missing you.
GRANDPA
Kids.
Grandpa reaches for Raphael.
INT. CLOSE SHOT – SWEATLODGE – RAPHAEL
Someone is reaching for Raphael.
EXT. CLOSE SHOT – SWEATLODGE – RAPHAEL
Raphael is being tossed into the pond.
RAPHAEL
Eagle?
Hector is on the shore with a motorcycle behind him.
HECTOR
Yeah. Now get out of there and get dressed while I put out the fire.
RAPHAEL
Hey! You saved me?
HECTOR
And people blame the education system.
Hector attends to the fire as Raphael swims to shore.
INT. MED SHOT – CARLOS' ROOM - CARLOS
Carlos is trying to do some homework.
He is problems concentrating.
He throws the book down.

He sees Hector and Raphael below.
HECTOR
Get down here NOW!
Carlos runs out of his room.
EXT. - MED SHOT – CARLOS' HOUSE – GUYS
Carlos runs out of the house.
CARLOS
What's going on?
Hector directs him to stand in a spot.
When Carlos gets there, Hector smacks him and Raphael on the back of their heads.
They look ticked.
HECTOR
You morons. Next time, you're discussing the band's future, I'm going to be there.
I am a part of this band, and so I have a voice in it as well. Remember that next
time. Okay?
Rafael and Carlos look at each other.
They smile sheepishly and turn to Hector.
RAFAEL/CARLOS
Yes, Daddy.
HECTOR
Kids. (beat) So, you couldn't decide on a particular style of music?
RAFAEL
He wanted alternative rock!
CARLOS
He wanted punk!
Hector glares at them.
HECTOR
Morons. We'll do 40% punk, 40% rock, and 20% country.
Raphael and Carlos look at each other, confused.
Raphael and Carlos look at Hector.
HECTOR
I like country. Deal with it.
CARLOS/RAPHAEL
Okay.
Hector moves over to his motorcycle.
HECTOR
Work out the details. We'll talk tomorrow.
Hector rides off into the night.
CARLOS
Would you like some hot chocolate?
RAPHAEL
With those itsy-bitsy marshmallows? That would be nice.
CARLOS
Then come inside.
They go inside.
