Tyler (Cruise) is sitting at the kitchen counter busy studying, when his stepmother (Rayveness) comes in the room and goes to the fridge. “I’ve never seen somebody who studies so much”, she says to him with a smile. “It’s a lot of work trying to become a lawyer”, Tyler notes. “Is it? It’s all Greek to me”, she says, looking at his work. “It actually is Greek”, he responds. “Oh, duh!”, she says. “It’s mostly just for fun, but a lot of the foundation of law is rooted in the Greek language”, he points out. “Very interesting. I had no idea. Your daddy doesn’t like to talk to me about law”, she says. “Maybe he just thinks he’d bore you. Last year at the wedding he told me he thought you were out of his league, anyways”, Tyler contends. “Well, that’s just because he’s afraid I’ll know too much”, she counters. “Do you ever take a break?”, she asks. “Um, sure”, Tyler replies. “Well?”. “Oh, you mean like right now”, he says. “Yeah. I thought maybe you and I could have a little mother/stepson time together -besides, we haven’t gotten to know each other, have we?”, she asks.

Stepmom smiles and says: “So you don’t have a girlfriend. Have you ever…you know”. “I’ve never really had time”, he answers, putting down his glass. “Well, do you want to?”, she asks. “Oh yes, sure, I just don’t have any clue how, like what if she laughs at me, or something”, he wonders. “Most girls would be lucky to have a boy like you”, she says. “I’m just kinda worried that it’s never gonna happen”, he says. “Do you really believe that?”, she asks. He nods Yes. Stepmom starts moving towards him and Tyler says: “Mom”, and she backs off. “Sorry, sorry Tyler, I shouldn’t have…”, she begins…
