Alex: Sounds good. Let’s go.

[Scene: The kitchen. Elyse, Steven, and Jennifer are getting ready to eat dinner.]
Elyse: Mmm… it all smells so good.
Steven: I can’t wait to eat it!
Jennifer: It sounds too healthy to be any good.
Elyse: Oh Jennifer, once you taste it, you’ll be in love.
Steven: What are we waiting for?
Elyse: Alex and Mallory.
(Alex and Mallory come into the kitchen looking very happy, and walk out the back door. Everyone else looks stunned)

Elyse: Unbelievable.
Steven: Well, what are we waiting for? Let’s eat!

[Scene: The same Chinese restaurant. Mallory and Alex are talking.]
Mallory: So how have you been?
Alex: Not too good.
Mallory: You’ll find a job, don’t worry. You’re very smart.
Alex: Of course I am. How has the house been without me?
Mallory: Fun… peaceful… friendly… happy…
Alex: Okay, I get the point.
Mallory: How was your job… while it lasted?
Alex: It was a dream come true, but I guess it wasn’t meant to be.
Mallory: I’m very happy with my job.
Alex: And I’m very proud of you.
