FADE IN:
INT. MR G’S BEDROOM – DAY
MR G paces nervously, holding a phone to his ear.
MR G
The printer constantly doesn't work. I cannot fix it...
A woman’s voice calls from outside the room.
KASH (O.S.)
Hello!
MR G
(on phone)
Listen, I have someone at the door. I just need a replacement printer. Can this be done? Ok, bye.
He ends the call. KASH appears, coming up the stairs, sweaty and slightly out of breath from the heat.
KASH
Hello. How are you?
MR G
Hello. Oh, everything goes wrong.
CUT TO:
EXT. BEDROOM WINDOW – CONTINUOUS
Through the glass, we see MR G talking to KASH. Their conversation is inaudible.
CUT TO:
INT. BEDROOM – MOMENTS LATER
MR G
Can I go to Sainsbury's with you today and explore some other food?
KASH
I'm afraid that's not allowed.
MR G
I've had enough of that breaded chicken and cod every single week. I cannot look at it anymore.
KASH
I would have been sick of it six months ago. I don't know how you can keep eating the same things over and over.
MR G
Well, I can't.
MR G exits to the corridor. KASH follows. The camera trails them in a master shot as they move into the kitchen.
INT. KITCHEN – CONTINUOUS
KASH
Why don't I get you something different today? Or something you liked in the past.
Remember those labels from Waitrose, like spaghetti arrabbiata? Can you find them?
MR G
I don't want you to go that far.
KASH
It's not that far at all. Come on, it's time for a change.
MR G rummages through a folder. He pulls out a few food labels and hands them to her.
KASH
Perfect, I can work with that. I can be creative with veggies too.
MR G
Just no aubergine or kale — I hate those.
KASH
No problem.
MR G
And can you get me the blueberry yoghurt? I don't want those red ones anymore.
I pretend I like the strawberry ones, but I really don't.
KASH Sure. See you soon.
KASH takes a few banknotes and two faded Sainsbury's canvas bags from the counter, then leaves.
INT. MR G’S BEDROOM – LATER THAT DAY
MR G rests on the sofa. A familiar voice calls from downstairs.
KASH (O.S.)
Hello!
MR G
Yes?
KASH enters, carrying full shopping bags. She hands MR G the change and begins unpacking groceries onto a nearby worktop.
KASH
I got some familiar stuff.
She pulls out cavolo nero, jumbo Scottish rolled oats, and a tin of baked beans.
MR G
Ah, alright.
KASH
And there's something new and fresh!
She reveals a tray of spaghetti arrabbiata and a box of ricotta cannelloni. MR G’s eyes light up.
MR G
Now we're talking!
KASH continues unpacking: chicken fettuccine.
MR G
Oh, that’s the one I liked. Perfect!
Then: chicken korma with rice and blueberry yoghurts.
MR G nods, pleased. KASH then pulls out a pack of marinated raw chicken.
KASH
And something instead of breaded chicken.
MR G
What is it?
KASH
Marinated chicken.
MR G
And where does it go? In the bin?
KASH
In the oven. You bake things — you can just put it into the oven like the breaded chicken.
MR G
Haha, I know. I’m joking. Listen, all of that is great. It’s a change. Thank you very much!
KASH
You're welcome. Enjoy the experience. And let me know what you liked next time.
MR G
Have a lovely weekend.
KASH
And you too. Bye!
KASH heads toward the stairs.
MR G
Bye.
She disappears down the stairs. The door shuts.
FADE OUT.
