CHARLES
(Interrupting him. HE sings)
WELCOME HOME, SON, WELCOME HOME
I`M SO GLAD TO HEAR THERE`S NOTHING WRONG
WELCOME HOME SON, GLAD YOU`RE HOME
WILL YOU BE STAYING LONG?


PIPPIN

CHARLES
(Going on)
WELCOME HOME, SON, WELCOME HOME
WELL, I`VE GOT TO GO, IT`S ALMOST NOON


PIPPIN
(Trying to break through)
But Father...


CHARLES
WELCOME HOME, SON, GLAD YOU`RE HOME

(Speaks)
Keep busy while you`re here. Why don`t you take that falcon and horse I gave you and go hunting?


PIPPIN
Good idea. Thank you, Sir.

(Starts off, then turns)
Oh, Pippin...


PIPPIN

CHARLES
ONE MORE THOUGHT I WOULD IMPART IS ...
I MAY BLUSH BUT I`LL BE FRANK ...


PIPPIN

CHARLES
(A pause, then nothing but a cliche)
HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS.
(To himself)
Why did I say that?
