SCENE:
The Common Cafe -- a quaint, French-ish, coffee/pastry spot on the corner end of the Waltham Common. "Andrea" and "Josh", a loving couple in their early (to mid) 30's sits outside at black, metal table...sipping on a hot cup of tea and coffee, respectively. It is late afternoon...the sun is sinking lower in the Autumn sky...and the lovers sit together, quietly watching the beginning of the evening commute...the traffic busy and bustling by the sidewalk where they are.
Josh: "How's your tea, sweetheart?"
Andrea: "Mmmm...it's good. How's your coffee?"
Josh: "Oh, it's yummy. Yup."
...
Josh: "Hey, babe. Do you see that truck there at the red light? See it there? The one with the window down?"
Andrea: "Yeah."
Josh: "What the hell is that sticking out of the window?!? Do you see it? Is that a fucking Teletubby?!? Look! It looks like a little pink Teletubby!!! Do you see it?!? What is that thing?!? Is that a dog?!? Is that something that's alive?!?"
...
Andrea: "Honey...that's an arm...sticking out of the window...holding a cigarette."
Josh: "No! In that truck? Right there? Are you sure?"
Andrea: "I'm sure."
Josh: (squinting) "Ahhhh."
...
Andrea: "Honey? Where are your glasses?"
Josh: "Yeah...I left them back at home."
