V

June 29th, 2020

Starring: Skyler, Cam (20-35)

The shared apartment. Cam is at a table, reading.  Skyler enters from a bedroom, holding a box.

SKYLER

Do you want these crackers?

CAM

Why?

SKYLER

The ingredients say they have this additive that’s actually a cow stomach enzyme.

I didn’t realize until now.

CAM

Oh.  

Sure, I’ll take them.  

...

You’d think they have a special symbol for the packaging by now. 

SKYLER

They do.  I was just a dummy, assumed they were fine.

CAM

What’s the symbol?

SKYLER

A big V with a circle around it.

CAM

Like the kosher U.

SKYLER

Exactly.

Cam opens the box and tries a cracker.

CAM

These are really good.

SKYLER
Yeah?

CAM

I can really taste the cow enzyme.

SKYLER

Ha!

Skyler goes back into the bedroom, closing the door.  A few moments later, a huge THWACK.  It startles Cam.

CAM

You ok in there?

SKYLER (offstage)

Yeah!  There was just this roach-thing on my desk!

CAM

Oh.  Ok!

What did it do to you?

Skyler pokes out of the room.

SKYLER 

Sorry, did you say something?

CAM

Just talking to myself.

SKYLER

Oh.  Cool.

Skyler recloses the door.  Cam goes back to reading, eating more crackers.
