Strangers in the Night/Transcript

Transcript
Benedict Cumberbatch: Thursday. 6:30 PM. It started out like any other night.

Callie: Sally, we’re gonna be late for the fair! Has anyone seen the yellow ribbon?

Shy Guy: I don’t know. What color is it? Ha! Yeah, I killed me!

Pete Jr.: Haha. You killed me!

Callie: Pete Jr., no arguments. It’s time to get ready for bed, okay?

Pete Jr.: Aw, sorry, Uncle Shy Guy, I guess I have to play with you later.

Baby Carter: Wait. Here’s that ribbon. But it’s wet.

Shy Guy: Forgot to tell ya, you’re out of floss.

Callie: Wonder if there’s a chance I can find some ribbon without meat on it.

Shy Guy: Not in that drawer.

Baby Carter: I might have some meatless ribbon in the garage.

Callie: Forget the ribbon. A science fair doesn’t need a ribbon! Ok, you have Emma’s number, right?

Baby Carter: Do you have any problems, Pete Jr.’s going to bed, I got a lot of reading to catch up on, and I’m sure Shy Guy might find something to do.

Callie: Make sure he doesn’t. (hugs Baby Carter)

(phone rings)

Baby Carter: Oh, I’ll get it.

Shy Guy: Hey, don’t worry about the old Shy Guy. Channel 9 is showing Psycho. Oh, and by the way, we’re out of popcorn.

Callie: I’ll put it on the shopping list next to floss.

Shy Guy: No chance to run out now and get it, I suppose.

Callie: Ugh.

Shy Guy: Right. I’ll see if I can just scrounge a few curdles from the sofa.

Sally: Ready. What do you think?

Callie: I love that dress.

Sally: Thanks.

Callie: Baby Carter. We’re leaving.

Baby Carter: Hold on, hold on, that was Herb from the office. The computer’s down. He can’t access the files. I gotta go in and reload the backups.

Callie: You have to go now?

Baby Carter: I got no choice, the budget’s due tomorrow.

Callie: Well, Baby Carter, we can’t leave Pete Jr. alone.

Shy Guy: I’m here.

Baby Carter: Well, maybe I can take him with me.

Callie: It’s a school night, he goes to bed in ten minutes.

Sally: I’ll stay.

Callie: Well, you can’t. You’re in the science fair.

Sally: Oh.

Shy Guy: I’m not.

Callie: Oh, this is just great. What are we going to do now?

Shy Guy: Oh! Hello! How about me?

Baby Carter: For what?

Shy Guy: To sit with Pete Jr.

Baby Carter: What do you think?

Callie: Come here. Do I suggest we let this imbecile with a mask watch Psycho while my son sleeps in the other room. No.

Shy Guy: Hey. No problem. Just leave me the keys to the liquor cabinet.
