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?
