Day 7

## Story

The day starts with Larry announcing his lawyer found a loophole in the will that states he is entitled to half of the estate. After removing half of Lily's items, he builds a balcony. Lily seeks help from Philip who tells her to carry on with renovations, believing she will find a solution. Lily explores Arthur's studio and discovers several paintings along with a few pictures of her uncle with Regina. Later on, Lily decides to compare Arthur and Larry's DNA using a strand of hair. Meanwhile, Blaine returns to the estate to stir up trouble. While distracting Larry with Blaine's car, Regina sneaks into the house to recover some of Larry's hair. Once the test results come back, Larry is revealed to be unrelated to Arthur and locks himself in the house. After Lily smokes him out with the bees, Larry flees in Blaine's car. The day ends with Luke announcing he intends to relocate to Alaska because he has lost custody to his ex-wife and therefore there's no reason why he should stay.

## Dialogue

#### Opening Scene

> [In Uncle Arthur's studio]**Lily**Ugh, poor Luke.
>  He was having such as hard time last night...
> If he needs help...he knows who he can ask.
>  In the meantime, I have something of my own to fix up!
> Can start by tidying up out here and then there's Uncle Arthur's studio...that's definitely a Regina thing.

#### Tidy Up Ground

> [Near the weeds]**Lily**Listen up, weeds! There's a new garden sheriff in town...and uh...she will prevent your GROWTH...yeah![Lily cleans the area]**Lily***Rake rake rake...*
> *Pluck pluck pluck...*
> Trim trim cut cut... *I gotta work on those one-liners. So, here we are, Aunt Mary. Uncle Arthur's special place...which was also quite special to you!
> I remember the way your eyes lit up when you spoke of Arthur and his sculptures and paintings...
> Hm...I have a hard time imagining Larry doing ANYTHING art-related with his dad besides drinking his wine...
> Ugh. I'm letting Larry get me all worked up.
> Hopefully I don't have to deal with him anymore.*

#### Call Regina

> [Near the house]**Lily**Hmm...Door's locked...There must be a key somewhere. Let's see if Regina's awake...[Lily calls Regina]**Regina**Jones Construction.**Lily**Hey there, sleeping beauty.**Regina**Mornin' lady. What's up?**Lily**Another day. Another broken roof.**Regina**Arthur's studio, huh? Well...Italian vintage houses aren't really my thing. Especially not this early...**Lily**Hey, thought you said you could fix ANYTHING! Plus it'll look great on your website!**Regina**Hahaha! You got me. Sure. I wouldn't miss a good challenge like this. See you in a bit.[The call ends]**Lily**Now, what's next?

Transition Dialogue

> **Lily**Roxy's barking... Sounds like we have visitors.[In front of the house Roxy is barking at Larry and Lily's stuff is scattered in front of the house]**Larry***Oh you just looove Larry!*
> Yes you do. Yes you do![Lily walks towards Larry]**Lily**Larry? What are you doing here?**Larry**Lily! Great news. My lawyer found a loophole in Mary's will.**Lily**A...loophole...?**Larry**That's right! It means I'm entitled to half of the estate too. And uh, I chose the house as my half.**Lily**I--**Larry**I figured you're much more into the gardens than I am. Everybody gets what they want!**Lily**Are you--**Larry**I had your stuff boxed up. It's right over there, all nice and neat!**Lily**Uh--**Larry**Gotta unpack this stuff. Nice seeing you![Larry walks to the entrance gate where his stuff are]**Lily**...
> ......
> WHAT IS GOING ON?**Roxy**Borf?

#### Call Philip

> [In front of the house]**Lily**Philip...Philip Philip Philip[Lily calls Philip]**Philip Jones**Hello?**Lily**Mr. Jones! It's Lily Roberts! Larry is here and he said his lawyer found a loophole that entitles him to 50% of the estate!**Philip Jones**Lily, listen. Your great-aunt knew Larry would try to cause trouble. I don't know if there's anything I can do about him. But I know Mary believed in you.**Lily**What can I do? I'm an accountant-turned landscaper.**Philip Jones**Well...I'm sure you'll think of something if you just keep working on the garden.**Lily**So, there's nothing you can--**Philip Jones**OH! My lemon tea is ready. Bye for now, Miss Roberts.[The call ends]**Lily**UuuuuuUUUUgggghhhh...**Roxy**BawoooUUUuu!

#### Put Back Lily's Stuff

> **Lily**I'm not just letting him take over Aunt Mary's house.
> MY house!
> These boxes are going back inside.

*A little later*

> [Lily has finished to put back her stuff and Larry is on the balcony]**Lily**There! That's a start...**Larry**Hey, Lily, I gotta tell ya, this terrace is really something.**Lily**It's called a BALCONY!**Larry**What's going on with you? Aren't you happy?
> Your Cousin Larry gets something, and you get something.**Lily**You didn't even talk to me about this! You just moved me out while I was on a walk!
> That's not family behaviour!**Larry**Ah, well, you're right. I could've been more forthcoming. But hey, we both got what we want! Let's let bygones be bygones. Hey, I gotta take this call. It's my jacuzzi guy.**Lily**Your...jacuzzi guy...**Roxy**MmmmARF!

Transition Dialogue

> [In Uncle Arthur's studio]**Lily**Okayokayokay...Don't...panic. Breath, Lily...Just--**Roxy**ARF ARF!**Lily**You're right, Roxy...I need to focus.

#### Clean Up Painting Gear

> **Lily**Gonna take some elbow grease to get rid of these paint stains...and LOTS of household ammonia!

*Lots of household ammonia later*

> [Roxy runs away]**Roxy***\*whimper\****Lily**\*Cough\*Ammonia-overlaod...Guh...
> Hey what's that?[Lily collects something]

> **Lily**Oh, what do you unlock, little key?
> I have an educated guess...

#### Replace Flowerpots

> **Lily**These flowerpots are beyond help. Better to replace them than try to fix them.
> Wonder if there's any kind of arty-craftsy project I could do with the pottery...

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**It's potterific! Don't you think, Roxy?
> Roxy?[Lily turns her gaze to the garden in front the house where Roxy is barking at Larry near the beehive]**Lily**What's going on over there?

#### Save Larry

> [In the garden in front of the house Lily uses the smoker]**Lily**Alright break it up![Larry walks away]**Larry**\*Cough cough\***Lily**Larry, what are you even doing?**Larry**Oh, just borrowing some honey from my cousin.**Lily**Do you have any experience with bees at all?**Larry**No, but how hard could it be to get a little fresh honey?
> I'm gonna set up a little microbrew operation inside...fresh local organic honey ale would sell like hotcakes.**Lily**Ugh, please let me do it. For some reason I don't want you getting stung.
> You shouldn't mess with the bees.
> Just ask me next time.**Larry**Ah, well, what can I say? I'm nothing if not spontaneous.**Lily**Can you just...go back to the house? Like your loophole says?[Larry leave]**Larry**Long as I can get that honey later!**Lily**Ugh. Okay. Crisis averted. Sorry, buzzy buddies. I'm not letting him anywhere near you again.[In Uncle Arthur's studio]**Lily**\*Sigh\* Okay...I'm gonna relax and lay down some herb beds.**Roxy**Borf!

### Lay Out Herb Garden

> [In Uncle Arthur's studio]**Lily**If my nose remembers correctly, these should be the exact same herbs as the ones before...

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**It's herbtastic!
> So much buzzing...the bees must love this stuff.
> ...I don't actually see any bees so what's that buzzing?[Lily turns her gaze to Roxy who's barking]**Roxy**ARF! ARF! BWARF!!
> Aroooo!**Lily**A drone?! Larry...

### Save Roxy

> [In Uncle Arthur's studio]**Lily**No one puts Roxy in a corner.
> [Lily throws a ball to the drone]**Lily***Bullseye!*
> It's okay, Fuzzyface. It's gone now.[Larry walks towards Lily and Roxy]**Larry**Hey, I just bought that!**Lily**I'll buy you a new one. Don't you have ANYTHING better to do than harass a dog?**Larry**Now now, no need to get all heated about it. We were just goofing around, right Roxy?**Roxy**Grrr ARF!**Larry**Look, I'm just trying to blow off some steam!Today's a stressful day!**Lily**Stressful...For YOU?**Larry**Yeah! With the move and all.**Lily**Please...blow off steam elsewhere. I'm working on this section of the grounds today.[Larry walks away]**Larry**All right, all right. That dog loves me, though. She's gonna miss me!**Lily**How can we miss him if he never LEAVES?
> What I AM missing around here is some water in the pond over there.

### Restore Pond

> [In Uncle Arthur's studio]**Lily**Inspiration overload! I've got SO MANY ideas for this pond. Well, at least THREE!

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**It's pondtastic! Looking good, now!
> This must've been really soothing for Uncle Arthur.
> A little babbling brook of his very own.
> We're still missing the babbling, though.
> Must be something clogging up the pump.

### Unclog Pond Steam

> **Lily**Okay, let's see what the deal is with this thing.
> Twist...pull?
> Nothing's working...But what's in this pipe?
> Another photo![Lily collects the photo]

> **Lily**This MUST be a clue to how to kick Larry out, right Aunt Mary?
> It's just...Uncle Arthur painting a lemon tree?
> UH! MAYBE Larry is allergic to lemons?
> Or is it because he looks like a giant lemon??
> Nope...that...doesn't make any sense.
> No clue and no water.
> SO what's next on my to-ALMOST-do list?

### Check Out Studio

> [In Uncle Arthur's studio]**Lily**The key fits!

> **Lily**Aunt Mary would probably tell me the place still smells like him.
> She--WHOA, that is DEFINITELY a painting of Aunt Mary in the nude.
> And a self-portrait of Arthur...he was really good.
> I can recognize his style anywhere.
> But...Larry really doesn't look a thing like him, does he?**???**Knock knock[Lily comes out from the studio]**Lily**Regina! I forgot I even called you.**Regina**Yeah, uh, what's the deal? There's some receding hairline by the house hollering about a jacuzzi.**Lily**Yeah...well...here's the thing...

*One angry explanation later*

> **Regina**That's...pretty insane.
> And my grandpa's only advice for you was...to keep working on the garden.
> Hmm...Well, I don't have any more appointments today. I can help.**Lily**Thank you. I'm trying hard not to freak out.

### Restore Studio

> [In Uncle Arthur's studio]**Lily**So, what do you think of the "restore vintage Italian studio challenge"?**Regina**There's a lot we can do in here.
> I wanna try and restore the original tiles...Alright, coming down.
> Design time!

*Player selects an option*

> **Regina**Boom! Hey, did you see this?**Lily**What'd you find?**Regina**A little photo.

> **Lily**"The LaRosa Family, 1960" Aunt Mary...Uncle Arthur...and I guess that's Arthur's parents and his sister.
> Conspicuously absent...Baby Larry...He should've been born in 1959 if my math is right. And it is!**Regina**Yeah. Hairline.
> Why isn't he on the picture? You better hold on to it.
> Okay...Now for the pergola. Let's see...

### Restore Studio Pergola

> [In Uncle Arthur's studio]**Regina**Should just need some replacement wood here and there...Some new stabilizing stakes...Nothing terrible!**Lily**Need a hand?**Regina**Nah, I got it. Just go ahead and pick a design, Lils.

*Player selects an option*

> **Regina**There. This should be nice and sturdy.
> You know, the original pergola wood was cut from a spruce tree.
> Must've been imported form Europe.**Lily**Tree... lemon tree..hm...**Regina**No I said SPRUCE.
> It's part of the pine family.
> Couldn't be much further from lemons.**Lily**I GET IT! Family photo... plus... Lemon tree... is... FAMILY TREE!**Regina**Erh...what?**Roxy**BORF?**Regina**Aunt Mary is trying to tell us that Hairline... I mean, Larry is NOT related to Arthur!
> Why didn't she just write you a note?**Lily**Well... she loved to make treasure hunts for me when I was a kid.
> Guess that explains all the other photos I found as well.**Regina**OKAY, so...if you're gonna prove that Larry is a NOT family, you need to do a paternity test.
> DNA and stuff.**Lily**Right, so I just need some hair or something from both Uncle Arthur and Larry, right?**Regina**Well...actually, you need some sweat to be exact.**Lily**Sweat, huh? That's erh... kinda gross.**Blaine**Lilybear!**Regina**Speaking of gross...

### Talk To Blaine

> [In Uncle Arthur's studio]**Lily**Blaine, I absolutely do not have time for you right now.**Blaine**Are you renting this place out?
> That guy did NOT look reputable.
> Or have you...already moved on?**Lily**Guh, heck NO!
> That's gross.
> It's SO gross!
> Blaine, please leave.**Blaine**Not until you give me an answer about moving back to the city with me.**Lily**I already gave you an answer the last time you were here![Blaine walks away and Regina walks towards Lily]**Blaine**I'll be waiting in my car when you're ready to go.**Regina**Doesn't take a hint, does he?**Lily**Well...stupid Blaine's gonna wait in his stupid car INDEFINITELY because I'm BUSY!
> I'm busy...cleaning...THIS old, smelly well!
> YEAH!**Regina**You clean that smelly well, girl!
> You Clean it GOOOOD!

### Restore Old Well

> **Lily**MEN! I wanna toss 'em into this well!**Regina**ME TOO! Hey...what's that in the bucket?**Lily**Hang on...

> **Lily**It's Uncle Arthur's hat!
> Looks EXACTLY like the one he was wearing on the lemon tree picture.
> And there are some loose hairs and stuff in it!**Regina**Yeah, looks sweaty enough too!
> Now we just need some Larry DNA!**Lily**We need to get inside that house...without Larry noticing...I don't...**Regina**Slow down, Lils!
> Larry is not going anywhere...like, that's essentially the main problem!
> We got plenty of time to plan our next move.
> Now, you've got me all worked up on this...well cleaning business.
> So, let's do it, already!

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**A well well done!**Regina**So...this "cousin" of yours. What do you know about him?**Lily**Uhh...he likes margaritas and...expensive cars?**Regina**Like...Blaine's car?**Lily**Yeah...I think I got an idea...

### Get Larry DNA

> [At the entrance gate]**Lily**Blaine, I love that music.
> Could you turn it up?**Blaine**Oh! Lilybear! Of course.
> Of course. Does this mean you're coming?**Lily**I'm still deciding.
> Turn it up just a teensy bit more, would you?[Larry walks over]**Larry**WHOA![Larry walk towards Lily and Blaine]**Larry**Buddy!
> You got one sweet machine there!**Blaine**Is it?
> I just got whatever the most expensive one was.**Larry**Oh yeah!
> It's got enough horsepower to...[Lily walks towards Regina]**Lily**Go go go!
> Find something with Larry's DNA inside the house and run that test!**Regina**Yes ma'am!

*A few minutes later*

> [Regina walks to her van]**Regina**Oh it's so gross.
> Gross! Gross gross gross!**Lily**WOOO!
> Go get that TEST DONE!**Blaine**Erh... what test?**Lily**Uhh... guh...You go get that PREGNANCY TEST DONE!
> WOOO!
> GO GO GO!**Regina**Smooth Lily.
> Real smooth.

### Get DNA Test Results

> [At the entrance gate]**Regina**Hey!
> You ready for this?**Lily**Heck, yes!
> Please just tell me.**Regina**Larry's not your cousin.
> He's not related to Arthur--or you--at all.**Lily**YES!
> LARRY! I know your'e not my cousin and I have the DNA test to prove it!
> You get NOTHING from my great-aunt!
> You're going to get out of MY house right now or I'm calling the cops!**Larry**Haha, uhhhhh, I don't know what--I don't--I'm just gonna--[Larry runs away]**Lily**HEY!
> He locked himself in the house!
> It's okay. I have some friends I can call.

### Smoke Larry Out

> [In the garden in front of the house]**Lily**Okay, little guys.
> You remember that jerk, right?
> Why don't you go say hi.[Lily uses the smoker near the beehive and she moves in front of the house where she uses it again]**Regina**Whoa!
> How are you doing that?**Lily**I loaded the smoker with lavender flavored steam.
> It's basically catnip for bees.

*A few minutes later.*

> **Larry**AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!
> GET 'EM OFF!
> YAAAHHH!!**Lily**Stand still, dear “cousin.”**Larry**I'm sorry!
> I'm sorry! I feel awful!
> I just wanted to--You know--Take the house and the money!
> Nothing terrible!
> But don't worry, I'm outta your hair, I promise.
> I'm drivin' away right now![Larry runs away]**Blaine**Uh, what's going on here?**Lily**Not now, Blaine.**Regina**Wait.
> Larry didn't bring his car, did he?
> He came in the moving truck.**Lily**Yeah.[Blaine turns his gaze to his car and runs towards it]**Blaine**MY CAR! HEY! STOP!! THIEF!![Larry drives off with Blaine's car chasing him on foot]**Regina**Look at him go!**Lily**Thanks for the help, Regina.**Regina**No problem.
> I haven't had this much fun in a long time.
> I'm gonna head home to Hubby.
> See you later, Lils.[Regina leaves]**Lily**Well, Aunt Mary. Seems like your “grand scheme” worked out perfectly, huh?
> No Blaine and no Larry to bother me anymore...that's ama--**Regina**LILY!
> Get off the road.**Lily**Right. Right.

> This whole experiment has been a failure.
> I got a buddy in Alaska who says he can get me a job.**Lily**Wait, Alaska?!
> I don't think you're thinking straight.
> Why don't you come in and sit down?**Luke**Naw.
> Done sittin' down.
