INT. PENTHOUSE - LIVING ROOM - DAY

Danny and Rocco are on the couch playing video games. Scout is wedged between them trying to get the controller away from Rocco but he nudges her off. Sam is sitting at the dinning room table in front of her lap top. Dante walks in.

DANTE

Hey hey!

Sam looks up and smiles.

ROCCO 

Hey dad!

Danny waves without looking up at the screen. Scout jumps off the couch and runs into Dante's arms, which are open for a hug. He kisses the top of her head.

DANTE

How's my princess?

SCOUT

They won't let me play.

DANTE

Seriously guys! Come on, give her a turn.

ROCCO

It's not a game with turns, dad. And she sucks.

SCOUT

You suck!

DANTE

Hey, I don't care. Let her play something.

Scout climbs the couch and sits between Rocco and Danny, who reluctantly end their game and give her the controller. Dante walks over to dinning room and Sam and kisses her head.

SAM

You're home early.

DANTE

I am. 

Dante peeks over Sam's shoulder.

DANTE

What you working on?

Sam closes her laptop. 

DANTE

Should I be worried?

Sam grins.

DANTE

What's the big secret?

SAM

No secret. Just respecting our boundaries.

DANTE

I see what you're doing.

SAM

What?

DANTE

I can't give you details about my work so you won't give me details about yours.

SAM

That's what you wanted right? It's only fair.

DANTE

Hmm.

Dante distracts Sam with a kiss but tries to open her laptop. Sam laughs.

SAM

Seriously?!

DANTE

What?
