This conversation between a married couple takes place in the kitchen. The husband has been awake for nearly an hour when his wife joins him. They meet near the coffee maker.
WIFE (after pouring a cup of coffee):
“I’m mad at you.”
HUSBAND (with a puzzled expression):
“What? Why are you mad? We went to bed in a great place last night.”
WIFE: “You were mean to me in one of
my dreams. And you were paying more attention to my sister than me.”
HUSBAND: “But… it wasn’t really me.
It was a dream. And you don’t even have a sister.”
WIFE: “I don’t care. I couldn’t get
back to sleep for a long time, and I’m not happy with you. You ruined
everything.”
The scene closes with the husband lightly whistling
as he tries to blow some heat off his coffee before taking a sip.
