One week later, my father opened his annual Museum Christmas Exhibit.

He collected stuffed animals from people in the community, and put them on display.

My father printed a quote from The Velveteen Rabbit in large type on the wall......

The stuffed rabbit asked - What is real?

And the Horse said, “Real isn’t how you’re made. It’s a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long long time not just to play with, but really loves then you become real......

And the rabbit asked, 'Does it hurt?'

And the horse said, 'Sometimes.'

'Does it happen all at once like being wound up, or bit by bit?'

......

'It takes a long time. That’s why it doesn’t happen to people who break easily... ...Generally by the time you are real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints. But these things don’t matter at all because you are real and you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.'"

YOUNG OLIVER This music’s old.

GEORGIA It’s black, black music is the deepest cause they suffered the most, them and the Jews.

Oliver plops down on the bed, listening to her.

GEORGIA In my next life I'm gonna marry a good hot blooded Jew - someone full of emotion.

YOUNG OLIVER Where’s Pop?

GEORGIA At the museum.

YOUNG OLIVER Is something wrong with you guys?

Georgia is startled, she hides her feelings with humor.

GEORGIA What're you, in the FBI?

YOUNG OLIVER No.

GEORGIA The CIA?

YOUNG OLIVER No.

GEORGIA KGB?

(Oliver shakes his head, no)

SLA? (no)

PTA? (no)

BMW?

Oliver sits silently.

GEORGIA There is nothing wrong with me and Pop.

Georgia's mask breaks revealing sadness. Oliver can see it, she can see he sees it. Georgia gets up and leads Oliver out of the room.

GEORGIA C'mon.

They stand in front of his bedroom door.

GEORGIA When you feel bad, you go into a room and scream - loud as you want, for a minute or two, then it’s out of you. It's called catharsis.

She opens the door, pushes him inside, and closes the door.

Young Oliver pauses, confused in his room. He doesn’t scream. He comes back out. Sheepish. YOUNG OLIVER I don’t feel like screaming...

Georgia, never ruffled.

GEORGIA You will..

ARTHUR SUBTITLE She’s unlike any girl I’ve ever met.

Oliver stops and looks at Arthur.

OLIVER Someone flashy walks into your life and you’re just gonna fall for it?

ARTHUR SUBTITLE Are we married yet?

OLIVER No, uh, it doesn’t work like that. There are other steps, it’s complicated.

They look at each other a beat and then walk on together.

ARTHUR SUBTITLE I hope this feeling lasts.

Anna You seem so unhappy with me.

Oliver Well are you happy here?

Anna Maybe I'm not perfect at it. I don’t really know what I’m doing... but I want to be here.
