conference in the library with drinks at the family mansion called by Gold Holder.Cracky Boy
was served with papers of divorce earlier that morning by estranged wife Melissa mother of
twins (age 12) with one in the oven lacking DNA of Cracky Boy. Purpose of the meeting:
Strategy meeting to protect separate family assets in possession of Cracky Boy by prior
conveyances of assets to Cracky Boy for estate planning purposes as advised by financial
planners of Gold Holder. No hearing has been set for impending divorce proceedings which
will freeze Crackys assets until final judgment of property settlement in divorce proceedings
are rendered by the court. The mood is somber to say the least.

Scene 1:
14
Gold Holder: Ok everybody we need to talk and this is very serious. Cracky why has Melissa
15
filed for divorce papers on you? Have you been screwing around on her and I expect an honest
16
answer.
17
Cracky Boy: Look when the honeymoon was over it was over both literally and figuratively OK.
18
I had the bitch in counseling moths after we were married. She married me for my family name
19
and family money. I was faithful for nine fucking years and could not take it anymore so shoot
20
me ok! Yea I have been intimate with the woman I truly love Matilda and she must have found
21
out about it and I could give a shit! Serves the bitch right!
22
Cripple Slapper:I dont buy it! She is pregnant with your child is she not?

Cracky Boy: Well gee Im not sure. Since you seem to think I am the anti-christ I guess if it is
24
born with 666 on its forehead its mine but if it is born with a halo it is a clear cut case of divine
25
26
Gold Holder: Then why in the love of God did you not divorce her years ago?
27
Cracky Boy: I thought I loved her and tried to make it work for years and then the kids were
28
born and I guess I felt trapped and God forgive me but I am addicted to sex so excuse me for
29
not thinking! I felt I could not abandon the kids unlike you Daddy!!!
30
Gold Holder: How dare you!!!! Keep that up and I will disinherit you in a second do you
31
32
Cripple Slapper: I think you are disgusting as a husband and father and you should be
33
ashamed! You are going to bring shame on our family by this reckless behavior.
34
35
Cracky Boy: Oh right! Like I am the first in the family to commit adultry! Give me a break. I
36
guess I could have been like you when you were married screwing that Lawyer from Boston and
37
got caught by your husband. I could have begged for forgiveness, reconciled and divorced with
38
the grounds of irreconcilable differences just as you did. Too bad you are an atheist because
39
40
Gold Holder: Thats enough from both of you!!!!!!!!!!! We are here to talk about the threat to

42
Cracky Boy: OK maybe we are getting too emotional about this whole thing it really is not that
43
serious and I truly think it is for the best at least for me. I have consulted an attorney. I may be
44
45
Cripple Slapper: Ok but what does this all mean to us as a family? Can she get anything we
46
own insofar as our land and assets or work her way into it and become a co-owner dealing us
47
grief?
48
Cracky Boy:OK heres the deal! Mississippi is not a community property state unlike Louisiana,
49
Texas and yes, Tea Pot, California where you were living while married. However, if separate
50
funds are comingled then they theoretically can become community property. For example if
51
you get an oil royalty check from inherited property and use part of the money to pay a light bill
52
in the family home you have placed the royalty income into community property status. Judges
53
in our state do not like to award community property to the other side unless it is absolutely
54
necessary to award the spouse the community property to insure the support of the children of
55
56
Gold Holder: Yes I do. How much money do you make and how much do you spend each
57
month? My secretary says you are broke. Are you giving your paramour money?
58
Cracky Boy: She takes nosey to a whole new level. I dont like her and especially her breath. It
59
could knock a buzzard off a shit wagon at 75 yards! She tells me that she has a gum disease and
60
61
Cripple Slapper: I think he is doing drugs again he is talking crazy. Just look at him! Skinny as a

63
Cracky Boy: My God!!!! Jacques Ceusteau is right! Whales do communicate! Did everyone just
64
hear what the beached whale in the winged back chair just said? Intercourse you and the mule
65
66
Hot Wheels: Well I hope nobody has told momma what has happened you all know how fragile
67
she is and what the consequences could be if she found out what has transpired today. I dont
68
think she needs to know. She could go back to drinking and she could die if she does.
69
70
Cripple Slapper: I disagree and I am going to tell her. After all she is a member of this family
71
whether she and daddy are married or not. I dont care what you say and I think you are both
72
wrong!
