- NICHOLAS FREDLAND
- (to Penelope)
- You want anything?
- Penelope stares straight ahead. She grips the steering wheel so tightly that her knuckles are white.
- DRIVE-THRU KID
- Can I take your order?
- NICHOLAS FREDLAND
- Yeah, can we get two strawberry milkshakes?
- DRIVE-THRU KID
- Is that all?
- NICHOLAS FREDLAND
- Yeah.
- DRIVE-THRU KID
- That’s $3.23. Please pull around to the first window.
- NICHOLAS FREDLAND
- Thanks.
- Nicholas rolls up his window and looks at Penelope.
- Penelope doesn’t look at him. She keeps looking straight ahead as she puts the car in reverse and backs her way around the drive-thru. Nicholas goes through his pockets looking for money.
- The car stops in front of the window. Nicholas rolls his window back down.
- The kid working the drive-thru contemplates the backwards moving car. He shrugs it off. They’re not paying him enough to care.
- Nicholas smiles and hands the kid $3.25.
- NICHOLAS FREDLAND
- Keep the change.
- DRIVE-THRU KID
- Gee, thanks.
