Carnage Page #4
NANCY:
A very nice couple, admit it.
ALAN:
Very.
MICHAEL comes back with the tray.
MICHAEL:
A good cobbler isn’t easy to make.
NANCY:
True.
MICHAEL sets the tray on the coffee table. During the
following dialog, he carves out portions on the plates and
hands them to his guests.
ALAN:
What do you sell?
MICHAEL:
Decorative hardware. Door locks,
handles, copper fittings. And kitchen
equipment, pots and pans...
ALAN:
That a good living?
MICHAEL:
You know, it's not like we had any
banner years or anything. It was
tough starting out. But long as I'm
out there every morning, with my
catalog and my sample case, it's a
living. Although the cast iron
roasting pans do pick up around the
holidays!
11.
ALAN:
Yeah.
Beat.
NANCY:
When you saw the hamster was
terrified, why didn't you bring it
home?
MICHAEL:
Cause I don't touch them.
NANCY:
You put it on the sidewalk.
PENELOPE returns with the coffee.
MICHAEL:
It was in the cage. I flipped it
over. No way I'm touching those
things.
PENELOPE:
(to ALAN:
)Sugar?
ALAN:
No, no sugar. What kind of cobbler
you make?
PENELOPE:
Apple and pear.
NANCY:
Apple and pear?
PENELOPE:
Yeah, it’s my own little recipe.
(giggles:
)It's too cold. Shame.
NANCY:
Apple and pear, that's new to me.
PENELOPE:
Apple and pear is a classic. But
there’s a trick to it.
NANCY:
Really?
PENELOPE:
You have to cut the pear thicker than
the apple, because the pear cooks
faster.
12.
NANCY:
Oh, right.
MICHAEL:
She's not telling you the real
secret.
PENELOPE:
Let them taste it.
ALAN:
Very good. Very good.
NANCY:
Delicious.
PENELOPE:
Gingerbread crumbs!
NANCY:
Oh my God.
PENELOPE:
It's sort of a souped-up Betty
Crocker recipe. To be honest, I got
the idea from his mother.
ALAN:
Gingerbread, fantastic. At least we
get a new recipe out of this, huh?
PENELOPE:
I wish my son didn't have to lose two
teeth in the process.
ALAN:
Yeah, of course, that's what I meant.
NANCY:
You have a novel way of expressing
it.
ALAN:
No, hey. I....
His cell vibrates - he checks the display.
ALAN (CONT'D)
I have to take this...
(on phone:
)Yes, Walter.
WALTER (O.S. - TEL)
Here’s my question: Can we do a
letter-to-the-editor?
13.
ALAN:
No. No letters to the editor.
You'll just fan the flames.
WALTER (O.S. - TEL)
We can't just turn a blind eye to
this!
ALAN:
Was it scheduled?
WALTER (O.S. - TEL)
Well, no.
ALAN:
Uh-huh.
WALTER (O.S. - TEL)
We decided to let it go.
ALAN:
What are these disorders anyway?
What's ataxia?
