SAMPLE -- I'm In the Garage!
As the scene opens Dad is leaning back with his eyes closed, the book over his face.
Dad -- (Snoring)
Mom -- Honey?
Dad -- (Snorts, then snores)
Mom -- Honey? … Dear? … Where are you?
Dad -- (Snores)
Mom -- HONEY!
Dad -- (Almost falls off of chair) What!? What happened?
Mom -- Where are you?
Dad -- (rubbing face) I'm in the garage!
Mom -- What are you working on?
Dad -- (Looks around, seeking an answer) The, uh, garage door.
Mom -- Oh, good! It never seems to go all the way down. Are you fixing that?
Dad -- Yeah, sure.
Mom -- Why is it doing that?
Dad -- The wheel track things seem to be slipping off and catching on the bumper slide… thing.
Mom -- Sounds complicated.
Dad -- Oh it is! Very.
Mom -- Will you be long? I need some help in the garden.
Dad -- (Look of desperation) Oh, it may take most of the afternoon. I'll have to get parts, unscrew the panels, realign the walls … complicated stuff. I'm sorry I wish I could help, I really do.
Mom -- Oh… all right. I understand.
