EXT. QUARTERMAINE MANSION - BACKYARD - NIGHT

Rocco and Danny are playing basketball in the backyard. Danny gets around Rocco for a lay up.

DANNY

That's game.

Rocco bends down to catch his breath.

ROCCO

See if this was wrestling, I'd kick your ass.

DANNY

You trying out for the team?

ROCCO

Of course.

DANNY

Yeah?

Danny pulls him into a head lock.

DANNY

Let's see what you got!

Rocco forces Danny to the grass area of the backyard, maneuvers around him and pins him to the ground. He pulls Danny's arm behind his back.

ROCCO

Say it!

Danny winces in pain.

DANNY

Never!

ROCCO

SAY IT!

Danny struggles to whisper.

DANNY

I'm...your bitch.

Rocco releases him and laughs as Charlotte appears from the living room patio door.

ROCCO

What's up?

CHARLOTTE

Dante said you guys were here. I wanted to talk to you. In private.

Charlotte glares at Danny. He gets the message that his presence isn't wanted.

DANNY

Well damn. Ok.

Danny grabs his basketball and goes in the house.

ROCCO

What's going on?

CHARLOTTE

I wanted to talk to you about mom.

Rocco gets visibly uncomfortable. He walks over to his water bottle on the table and unscrews the cap.

ROCCO

What's to talk about?

CHARLOTTE

The anniversary is coming up and I thought maybe we can plan something special.

ROCCO

You're kidding right? Is a coma anniversary even a thing?

CHARLOTTE

No but it could be our thing.

ROCCO

No thanks.

CHARLOTTE

What's wrong with you? You never see her.
