FADE IN:
INT. HOME - DAYTIME
A couple discusses their grocery shopping list and requirements for the store purchases.
DAINA
Now look at this list, because I know you’re
not going to get any of this right.
JIM (not paying attention)
Just give me the list
DAINA
The soy cheese needs to be in a block. NOT the slices.
JIM
Okay. One block soy cheese.
DAINA
Yellow. Not cheddar.
Jim walks away and sits down on the nearby couch. We see PHILIP, one of their sons,
and his wife, Noel, sitting on another one of the couches. PHILIP shakes his head as his MOTHER continues talking.
DAINA
And the crackers. Sea salt flack seed gluten free
crackers.
JIM
I’m not going to find any of this.
DAINA
That’s why I’m telling you - it’s in the deli department.
JIM
The crackers are in the deli department?
PHILIP
We’re going to be in the store for an hour...
DAINA
Yes, Jim. The deli department.
JIM
No, those are over in the go green section.
DAINA
I’m telling you they are near the DELI.
Jim rubs his head and begins making funny noises as if he’s not comprehending anything. He acts as if he’s losing his mind and begins shaking his head.
JIM
Too much to process! Going crazy!
DAINA
And make sure the cereal and pancakes are GLUTEN
FREE.
JIM grabs the grocery list and hollers at his son.
JIM
Come on Phillip. Let’s get this done before the storm comes.
PHILIP stands up from the couch and walks away.
NOEL
Good luck on your treasure hunt!
DAINA
What? What are you saying about me?
PHILIP
She didn’t say anything about you, Mom.
DAINA
I know you guys are talking about me. Everyone
is always talking about me.
PHILIP
She said good luck on your treasure hunt!
DAINA laughs and pushes her glasses back up on her nose.
JIM
Let’s go.
JIM and PHILIP begin walking to the front door.
