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.
