D Abby - The juvenile casting couch

They started the scene again. Pat sat down on the couch.

"All right. Camera! Action!"

Sue makes her entrance. Jamie runs to her and says his line. Alice kisses Jamie and he abruptly pulls away. Sue opens her eyes in surprise.

"Why Jamie, you've grown up in the eight months since I saw you."

Jamie looks embarrassed. (Pat was, he still had a hard on.)

"Uh, yeh, I guess I have."

"I didn't expect you to be grown up so soon."

"I know I've changed, but I really don't feel grown up, Aunt Mary."

That was just like when he told Anne that he didn't know what to do. Pat put the same amount of confusion in his voice that he used when he said it to Anne. A thought struck Pat.

"Dad?"

"Yes?"

"There should be more there."

"You sound like an actor. Always trying to pad your part. What else should you say?"

"Uh, sort of, well something like, 'I feel more confused than grown up.'"

"Sean, the boy's right. Pat we'll take it from my line. Try it again and use your own words."

Sue went back to the script.

"I didn't expect you to be grown up so soon."

"I know I've changed, Aunt Mary, but I feel more confused than grown up. I feel things differently and I don't know how to act."

"Of course you don't. You're surrounded by woman and there's no man here for a role model."

Sue put in her own ad lib. She stopped and looked at Sean. I think your kid just killed the rest of the page. Do you want to work it over. Sean looked at Pat in a funny way and shrugged.

"They're better than my lines. Pat, sit with me as a consultant. I've been trying to remember how I felt when I was twelve. You know what a twelve year old will do and say. Will you excuse us, Sue?"

"Sure, I'll go upstairs and lie down."

Sean took Pat into the family room. He cocked his head and looked at Pat in that funny way again.

"Pat, I was a couple of years older than you when a widow lady introduced me to sex. You've had an experience like that or you couldn't have handled Sue the way you did. Don't look so scared. I'm not angry or upset. It happens all the time. I don't care who and when and don't want to know, but if you recently went through something like this scene is supposed to portray I'd like to hear about it. I may have to rewrite the whole thing."

Sean didn't rush Pat he let him think it out.

"Uh, all right, Dad. It's sort of embarrassing but I guess I can tell you how it happened."

Pat described some of the circumstances without too much detail. He described pressing against Anne and what happened when she rubbed his prick. He didn't use the word prick he just said that she "rubbed me" and "my stuff shot into my pants".

"All right, stop there. That sounds terrific, how do we get it in the sequence we're using or do we have to start over?"

"Suppose Sue looks at my pants when she says I've grown up, then hugs me again and gives me a long french kiss. After that she can do the things just the way they happened. Gee, Dad, that's the way it should be done but I don't know if I can do it. The same thing might happen to me again and I'd want to crawl into a hole."

Sean hugged his young son.

"Pat, we're going to try it that way. If it's real enough to do that to you then think of how it will look on the screen. Okay scoot. Let me get all this down."

Sean gave Pat and Sue two pages of script. They did a first read through, then a read through in a more natural manner. Sue looked at Sean then Pat.

"Sean, if we get away with this it'll bring the house down. Do you think you can really do this, Pat?"

Pat nodded his head and blushed. They were ready to try blocking.

"Camera! Action!"

They went through the scene from the top. They got to the point where Jamie pulls away.

Sue opens her eyes in surprise and looks a Jamie's crotch. Jamie looks embarrassed.

"Why Jamie. You've grown up in the eight months since I saw you."

"Uh, yeh, I guess I have."

"I didn't expect you to be grown up so soon."

"I know I've changed, Aunt Mary, but I feel more confused than grown up. I feel things differently and I don't know how to act."

"Of course you don't. You're surrounded by women and there's no man here that you can use as a role model."

Following the blocking instructions Alice slowly moves toward Jamie and gently pulls him up from the couch then hugs him. She kisses him like an aunt then changes it into a french kiss. Jamie's hips push toward Alice. She moves her head back and looks at Jamie's face. Alice pushes her hips toward Jamie then reaches between their bodies.

Jamie's hips jerk and he pulls away and turns. A dark stain spreads in Jamie's pants crotch. (Pat hadn't jerked off that morning. Sue had rubbed her crotch against his hard prick then grabbed it in her hand and pumped it several times. He'd had as much as he could take. He'd shot off in his pants again the same way he had when Anne rubbed his prick.) Sue didn't realize what had happened and continued with her lines.

"Oh, Jamie, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to have that sort of an affect on you."

Fade.

"Wow! Cut and can it. Sean, that's marvelous. It couldn't be better. Pat, you're a natural."

Pat stayed turned away. His face was beet red. Sue went to hug him in her exuberance and he wouldn't turn back toward her.

"Oh, no. You didn't. Oh, Pat, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to have that sort of an affect on you."

Sue was an actress and she couldn't help cribbing her own lines. Sean looked at his son, got between Sue and Pat, and patted Pat on his shoulder.

"It's all right, Pat. Remember you couldn't help what happened. Go up and change your pants. I'll keep Sue busy for a while."

Pat scooted upstairs as fast as he could.

"Sue, you're right about one thing, we have to cut out the rest of that scene. That action says a hell of a lot more than the script does in the next two pages of dialogue. Let's run that tape as it is and see how it plays."

Sean pulled the tape out of the camera and set it up on the TV. Sean ran it and both of them watched closely. Neither one of them said a word while Sean ran the tape three more times.

"Wow! The way this turned out I think I have to rewrite the whole seduction scene too. Do you want to wait around while I do it and see how it goes?"

"Sean, when your son gets presentable again let me talk to him. You work that camera. I think the two of us can improvise that scene and do a better job than you can do on your typewriter. Even if it doesn't play, I bet it'll give you plenty of ideas about how it should go. That boy is an absolute natural, I'd think at his age he would be too petrified to get a hard on let alone shoot off in his pants."

"Oh, Sue, take it easy on him. At his age his prick is so sensitive he can shoot off thinking about cunt. The way you've been coming on to him, you have him out of his mind. Don't forget, up till today, you've been a sex symbol to him not a person. What would have happened to you when you were twelve if Clark Gable pushed a finger into your cunt and finger fucked you?"

"You do have a way with words. Okay, I'll try to ease off. But that kid of yours is so appealing and sexy that he has me just as horny as I have him. We have to get him in the part. He'll steal the show. The other headliners in the cast will be furious."

They waited for a red faced Pat to come back and told him what they were going to do. Sean gave him the script and let him read the seduction scene. Pat didn't like it. It couldn't happen that way. It was to stilted, although Pat couldn't have expressed it that way. The scene was to take place the next day and it started the same way. That was all right as far as it went. Pat took his place.

"Camera! Action!"

Alice enters from an interior door, wearing a dressing gown. Jamie looks up. His face lights up.
