It is morning in Tucson, shortly before TED and ANDREA leave for Europe. ANDREA, dressed comfortably for the flight, is kneeling by the door and sorting through a packed suitcase, which includes lots of freshly-laundered black socks for TED. TED, wearing a blue t-shirt, black jeans and black shoes, walks over.

ANDREA: I thought you were going to wear your Tevas on the flight. Wouldn't they be more comfortable?

TED: Actually, I think I'll leave the Tevas at home and bring my sneakers instead. I could wear the sneakers on the plane.

ANDREA: You're bringing your sneakers? Ugh, that means I'll need to pack some white socks for you.

TED lifts up his pant cuffs to reveal he's already wearing blindingly white socks (with black pants and shoes).

ANDREA first drops her head in exasperation, then turns it up toward the heavens, raises and shakes her fists, and wails: Whyyyy?!!!

ANDREA and TED are on their meditation cushions, about to start their practice. TED is setting the timer on his cell phone, poised to press the start button.

TED: On your marks... get set...

ANDREA: Gom!

TED and ANDREA crack up laughing.

TED, reading Slashdot:  Whoa... it says here that some guy used fraud to steal $200,000 worth of Lego from Target.

ANDREA: Hm, you gotta wonder what Phase Two of that plan was.

TED, from the bathroom: The ceiling here is strange. Did you touch it?

ANDREA: Um, no. I haven't gotten around to touching the ceiling yet.
 

Today's dialogue snippets:

While driving through Saguaro National Park

ANDREA: We should really come back here when the desert is in bloom.
TED: When is it in bloom?
ANDREA: Oh, you know. It's when the ocotillo tips are orange and the cacti all have flowers on top...
TED: No, I meant what month.

In front of the microwave, as the spaghetti sauce inside was starting to blurp and spatter

TED: I think it's done.
ANDREA: No, it's still going.
TED: Really, I think it's done.
ANDREA: No, see the numbers... it still says 19 seconds.
TED: Um, the sauce is bubbling and popping.
ANDREA: Oh...

ANDREA walks out of bathroom with tube of sunblock. TED, walking towards bathroom, meets her in the unlit hallway.

ANDREA methodically applies sunblock to her face. TED watches in silence.

THUNDER cracks outside. ANDREA continues applying her sunblock.

TED and ANDREA crack up laughing.
