Living Room Scene of a Couple

HIM digs hands into couch cushions, as HER nuzzles head into HIM's lap. She surfs the waves of his gently rocking leg.

HER: What are you doing?

HIM: Looking for change.

HER: Change?

HIM: I'm thinking of whisking you away. To an island. Where it's warm during the day, and cool at night. We'll build a hut. And make a fire

HER: And babies?

HIM: I'll fish for them.

HER: And I'll forage for berries, and teach them to read. (beat) Now, let me ask you something. Will this island have turtles?

HIM: Uh huh. (beat) And turtle soup.
