PINK VAN ON THE DECK

Scene 1. Wife and husband sit around an oval table, swirling spoons in bowls of vanilla ice cream, catching up over a busy weekend.

Wife: ...the man walks everyday in our park with his husky and his little white dog.

Husband: That's not a nice thing to say about his wife.

Scene 2. Along a curving, shaded road, Moriah is running, Holly roller-blades beside her. 

Holly: I need a haircut.

Moriah: I could cut your hair! 

Holly gives a long skeptical look. Moriah breaks the melodramatic silence with her laugh. 

Holly: yeahhh, I don't trust you.

Moriah: Or my sister could! Actually, she's been thinking of going into cosmetology. 

Holly: Really? 

Moriah: And she cuts our dog's hair.

Holly: Well, that's comforting. 

Scene 3. Husband walks onto deck, pauses for a moment, walks back into house, calling to wife through the doorway.

Husband: Honey, did we buy this pink van on the deck? 

Wife: What? 

Husband: This pink van on the deck, did we buy it?

Wife: What van? 

Husband: This van, on the deck? 

Wife: It's a car.

Husband: It's a van.

Wife: It's a car.
