Customer #1: [ pays Stuart ] There you go. Thank you very much.

Stuart Rankin: Thank you.

Customer #1: Great store, by the way. You just sell Scottish things here?

Stuart Rankin: That’s right! All Things Scottish. Our slogan is, if it’s no’ Scottish, it’s CRAP!

Stuart Rankin: Help yourself to a piece of haggis. [ indicates a plate of samples on toothpicks, next to the cash register ]

Customer #1: [ does so ] Thanks very much.

Stuart Rankin: There you go … all righty. Bye-bye now.

Customer #1: Bye-bye. [ exits the store, and hears the “bagpipes” door chime on his way out ]

[ Customer #2 enters the store, and chuckles when she hears the “bagpipes” door chime ]

Stuart Rankin: Welcome to All Things Scottish. If it’s no’ Scottish, it’s CRAP! Can I help you?

Customer #2: Well, yeah, look, it’s a shot in the dark, but I was wondering, do you have these coasters? They’re plaid, and they have Jackie Stewart’s head on them.

Stuart Rankin: Box of six or twelve?

Customer #2: [ suddenly pleased ] Twelve! That’s great.

Stuart Rankin: All righty, there you go. [ places it on the counter ] Seventeen dollars, please.

Customer #2: Seventeen dollars, okay. [ pays him in cash ] Listen, I-I love the way you talk.

Stuart Rankin: Oh, thank you very much.

Customer #2: Yeah. [ giggles ] Okay, thanks a lot. Bye-bye. [ takes her coasters and exits the store ]

Stuart Rankin: Bye-bye.

Customer #2: [ on her way out ] Oh, “It’s a bare breed nicht tinicht”! [ looks unsure if she said it right ]

Stuart Rankin: It sure is. All righty. [ sees her out ]

Customer #2: Oh yeah. Bye.

Stuart Rankin: Bye-bye now.

[ as she leaves, Stuart picks up some books from a box by the entrance and places them on the counter. Angus enters the store. ]

Stuart Rankin: You’re late! Get your kilt on!

Angus: Dad, I’m not wearin’ a stupid kilt!

Stuart Rankin: Oh, you’ll wear it or you’ll get a kick in the face, y’little bastard!!

[ they raise their fists ]

Angus: Dad … we live in America now! No one else wears kilts!

Stuart Rankin: I know no one else wears kilts, but then no one else is Scottish either! You’ll wear it and you’ll like it!!

Angus: I dun’ know …

[ as Customer #3 enters the store, Stuart goes behind the counter, and Angus walks over to greet her ]

Angus: Welcome to All Things Scottish. Me name’s Angus. Can I help yoo?

Customer #3: Sure, Angus, I’d like to get something Scottish for my dad, like a little leprechaun.

Angus: A leprechaun? Well … leprechauns are, in fact, Irish.

Customer #3: Oh … Irish, Scottish, it’s the same thing.

Stuart Rankin: Oh, it’s the same thing, is it?!? [ whips out a map of Europe and points to it ] HAVE A LOOK AT THE MAP!! THERE’S SCOTLAND! THERE’S IRELAND! THERE’S THE BLOODY SEA!! THEY’RE DIFFERENT, NOW GET OUT!! [ chases her out of the store ] GET OUT! GET OUT, MRS. NO-CAN-READ-A-MAP! GET OUUUUUT!! [ fumes ]

Angus: Dad, I hate it when you shout at the customers like that! Besides, she was cute!

Stuart Rankin: Listen t’me, you’ve no’ got time to go galavanting with every cheap dolly girl that comes into this store! Knock on wood! [ taps on Angus’ head ] If anything should happen to me, you’ve gotta take over this store!

Angus: Dad, I don’t want to take over this shop.

Stuart Rankin: What?

Angus: Dad, I said I don’t want to take over this store.

Stuart Rankin: [ solemnly ] You’ve just committed patricide, son.

Angus: Och, Dad, don’t be so dramatic!

Stuart Rankin: Stick me in a long boat! Set it ablaze! Poosh me out to sea!

Angus: Dad, we’ve been in America for ten years! Everything’s so bloody Scottish! We should sell something American!

Stuart Rankin: Oh aye? Like what?

Angus: Pizza.

Stuart Rankin: Pizza? That’s Italian!

Angus: It’s what Americans eat, not blood sausage or suet pie, ya tube! … It’s like all of Scottish cuisine’s based on a dare!

[ tempers rising ]

Stuart Rankin: You’re startin’ to get insulting, son!

Angus: Well, maybe you deserve to be insulted!

Stuart Rankin: Well, maybe you deserve to be put through a plate glass windah!

[ they raise their fists ]

Angus: Shame on you, talkin’ like that! You’d nae’ be talkin’ like that if Mum was aroond!

Stuart Rankin: [ tears up ] Oh, don’t bring up yer mother, bastard! I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU! [ they hug again ]

Angus: Oh … I love you too! I love you, Dad! [ they pause from hugging ]

Stuart Rankin: I love you, it herts! It HERTS!

Angus: I know it hurts. It hurts me too.

Stuart Rankin: I LOVE YOU!! [ they hug again ]

Angus: I love you! [ they stop hugging and sigh of relief ]

Stuart Rankin: Okay, we’ll add pizza.

Angus: Great, Dad.

Stuart Rankin: “All Things Scottish … and Pizza.” All right, hold on here, just so we’re clear, all right … we serve pizza, you take over the store?

Angus: That’s right.

Stuart Rankin: Magic.

Angus: And I don’t have to wear the kilt.

Stuart Rankin: Oh, you’re a sneaky slimy bastard.

Angus: And you’re a stupid old man!

[ they raise their fists ]

Stuart Rankin: THAT’S IT! Pick a window! Pick a window to go through!

Angus: Oh, look at you! Your wee head’s about to burst like a tomato!
