Last night I made lemon squares. At 3 am. While watching The Phil Silvers Show. And this morning my dad finally bought some milk. You know. The carton I inquired about some five days ago.
INT. KITCHEN --Day
DAD, if that is his real name, is looking for lunch. DAUGHTER 1 is jonesing for lemon and DAUGHTER 2 is surfing the web.
Dad (closing fridge door)
I went out this morning and bought some milk.
DAUGHTER 1 cuts a lemon square. In silence.
Dad (in make-fun-of-my-daughter voice)
Aw, thanks Dad, you’re so great. Thanks for finally buying me milk.
DAUGHTER 1
Is it skim?
DAD
Geez there were all kinds of different milk at the store. There's getting to be too many. 2% milk, Low-fat milk, Fat-free milk, non-milk milk.
DAUGHTER 2
Buttermilk.
DAUGHTER 1
Butta-face milk.
DAD
I just chose the one with the most colors.
DAUGHTER 1
Hey what's that shiny thing over there?

After that we discussed Matt Damon. And it wasn't the first time.
INT. LIVING ROOM - Day
DAD
It says here Matt Damon made 3 Jason Bourne movies. I'm trying to figure out which one I haven’t seen.
DAUGHTER 1
You missed the one where he takes off his shirt.
Condemning SILENCE.
DAUGHTER 1
You sure do like that Matt Damon.
DAD
No, I like the character. Jason Bou--
DAUGHTER 1
The character is just words on a page! Matt Damon breathes life into the font!
DAD
And you remember the part where he strips down. (beat)
DAUGHTER 1
I am going to forget we had this conversation.
