CONNOR
You have to guess.
BERNIE
I can't guess. I don't have any idea what you're planning.
CONNOR
Try.
BERNIE
Okay... You're going to plug the computer into your parents' brains and program them to date idiots.
CONNOR
Wrong!
BERNIE
You're going to mesmerize them and feed them subliminal messages.
CONNOR
Still wrong.
BERNIE
Then what?
CONNOR
Guess.
BERNIE
I can't guess.
CONNOR
It's easy.
BERNIE
I give up. Come on, show me what you're up to.

Ta Da!

That looks like a website!

It's going to be.

About the Book
Eleven year old Connor refuses to accept his parents' impending divorce. Instead, he boldly takes matters into his own hands by setting up an on-line dating service. To insure that all of their dates will be miserable, he matches up his parents with people causing grief in his own life. If he can discourage them from dating other people, then just maybe, they will give each other another chance.
(Written in screenplay format.)
