In the Supermarket

Scene: Supermarket Interior, early evening. Checkout 29.

Noel, a forty-something cashier is swiping products at the checkout.

Meg and Davo, late-twenty-something geeky/media types are packing groceries into bags at the end of the conveyer belt.

Noel [we know this is his name, because his orange name-badge says “Hi! I’m NOEL” in carefully printed type] swipes a bottle of white wine under the scanner.

Noel: Wow, wine. And it’s only Monday!
Meg: Yes, it’s going to be that kind of week.
Noel: If it carries on like this it’ll be a bottle of scotch by Friday
Meg: Yes, if not crack cocaine.

Noel laughs nervously and starts swiping items faster underneath the scanner. Meg and Davo continue to bag groceries.

Fade to black. FIN.
