Aunt (Penny Barber) is standing in the kitchen, wistfully gazing out the window, when Tyler (Cruise) comes in. “Good morning, sleepyhead”, she greets him. “Mom didn’t tell me you were staying”, he says. “Well, your stepmother has a lot of secrets, but you know that”, she says. “She does?”, he wonders. “How long has she been living here with you and your dad? Like a year?”, she asks. “About nine months”, he replies. “Well, I will not say anymore”, she says. “What do you mean?”, he asks. “Well, your stepmom is -she’s kind of a flirt”, she contends. “Yeah, she kinda likes younger men. That’s one thing we have in common,” Aunt says. “Okay”, Tyler says. “I shouldn’t say anything. It’s really nice of her to invite me to stay here. You have a really nice house”, she says. “You don’t have to worry about me. Just like to hang out and pretend this is my kitchen. You think I’d make a cute little housewife?”, she asks. “What is wrong? Has the cat got your tongue?”, she jokes. “I guess”, he says. “Oh, you know, she’s always had all the luck. I feel like when we were younger I would get the hand-me-downs and second-hand clothes and things, and I’m a little bit older than she is and so I would have to be like a little mom, and take care of her”, she complains. “I’m sorry to hear that”, he responds. “Why don’t you show me her room?”, Aunt asks. “I don’t know about that. I don’t think mom would be happy”, he speculates. “It’s okay. She went to work really early. She’s gone the rest of the day. Just show me”, she insists. “Don’t you want to show me? Goody-two-shoes?”, she needles him. “I guess I could show you, but you won’t touch anything?”, he says. “No, I won’t touch anything?”, she says. “You promise?”. “I promise”, she says, and they walk to the bedroom…
