conversation

Saturday, 7:59 p.m. The cell phone rings. Sarah pauses her movie to answer the call.

Sarah: Hi there!
John: What are you up to?
Sarah: Knitting, drinking champagne, and watching Alien!

(Slight pause. John bursts into laughter.)

John: But Sarah...not one of those goes together.
Sarah: This is my strange yet dull little life.

Scene fades upon more laughter and chit-chatting.
