Dialogue: Pumpkins vs. Apples
The scene: Bedroom, morning. I am contemplating today’s ensemble-oversized plaid flannel shirt worn over a black t-shirt with skinny jeans tucked into tall leather boots.
ME: (to ESPOSO) Does this look okay? I was going for “pulled-together comfortable.”
ESPOSO: You look like you’re going apple picking.
ME: Apple picking?
ESPOSO: Yup.
ME: Ooookay. Well, I do like apples.
(a beat)
ME: Out of curiosity, why apple picking instead of pumpkin picking?
ESPOSO: Pumpkins are out of season.
ME: …
ME: But apples are still IN season?
ESPOSO: Oh yeah.
Fin.
