Drake's attempt to undo Tom's progress #33

Closed arikrupnik closed 6 years ago

arikrupnik commented 6 years ago

@DaltonElza @Theatreham I really liked the idea that came up on Friday that Drake would try to undo Tom's progress by filling the unit with more stuff.

I'm writing this scene, and I'm having a hard time finding words for Drake to justify his actions. His real motivation is to bur the stuff he doesn't want to deal with, but nominally he had asked Tom to find it.

How can we show this contradiction through Drake's dialogue?

Notes from Dalton and Tony's visit on Sunday, April 22, 2018

Drake shows up the second time interrupting Tom's progress dumping more stuff in the unit to cover up the “Box” he doesn’t want Tom to see.

Drake brings Tom’s mom's stuff to the unit.; using 's mother stuff against Tom, as his way of getting back at Tom for being a turd while he was growing up. Since Tom wasn’t his , Tom’s mother didn’t allow Drake to discipline Tom, which Drake resented big time.

Drake wears a Non-white wife beater shirt with a dark-colored shirt, dark pants perhaps. Belt buckle? Brass knuckle or bottle opener type belt buckle

Drake disapproved of Tome being a shift manager book store which is a dead end job with no career path.

Drake slams Tom and claims Tom cant keep a girlfriend as another thing to take a dig at him.

Drake slams Tom for his sloppy room while growing up? Drake comments about all the science projects Tom had 8th grade that he started and never completed. Wanted to use a Science kit which required adult supervision, but Tom didn’t want to wait and the chemicals caught the house on fire.

Mom kept to herself and was close to her mother who Drake loathed.

Tom has an investigative nature and finds holes in other's stories and determines Drake stories don’t add up.

2nd Scene: When Drake brings crap, and Tom resists, Drake states he is being defiant just as he did growing up, which is another source of their conflict. Tom reveals why he stayed out late was because Drake would be drunk , which was the catalyst of why Moira would pick fights with him stating how she hated his drinking ; which he did because of her constant nagging.
