FADE IN.

INT. KITCHEN – EVENING

VALERIE and FRANK sit at their kitchen table eating dinner.

VALERIE:  Isn’t this incredible that we are both vegan? I can’t believe we have actually gone vegan.

FRANK:  Babe, please. I’m starving.

VALERIE:  Oh, come on. Just have some more salad.

FRANK:  Salad?

VALERIE:  Yeah, you need to eat more plant foods, vegetables and fruits.

FRANK:  I’m starving babe, alright? I feel like I’ve been eating leaves all day.

VALERIE:  Frances, stop it. It’s only been three days.

FRANK:  Three days? That’s all?

VALERIE:  Yep.

FRANK:  Hasn’t it been a week already? I feel like I’m breaking some sort of record.

VALERIE:  Well, I’m proud of you. You are going to live a longer life.

FRANK (under his breath):  In misery…

VALERIE:  What?

FRANK:  I gotta tell ya, I’m ready to grab my bow and arrow and shoot down birds in the backyard.

VALERIE:  That’s horrible. Tell me you’re joking.

FRANK:  I’m hungry! Been eating salad that don’t even look like salad. It’s leaves.

VALERIE:  It’s baby spinach!

FRANK:  Great. Baby spinach looks like baby tree leaves. What’s next? Going outside and eating dirt?

VALERIE: You have no discipline.

FRANK:  Discipline? I’ve gone an entire week with—

VALERIE:  Three days—

FRANK:  That’s a week if you’re Italian and I feel like I’m shribbling up.

VALERIE:  Shribbling? What’s a shribble?

FRANK:  Shribble. I feel like I’m shribbling…getting smaller.

VALERIE:  You mean shriveling?

FRANK:  Same thing.

VALERIE:  Well, I’m so happy we’re vegan. It’s the most amazing thing. I feel light and healthy and I’m already getting a glowing complexion. You too! You’re starting to get rosy cheeks.

FRANK:  Rosy cheeks? What rosy cheeks?  You sure that’s not heart failure?
