KAREN: Pete, I have something to tell you.

PETE: Can it wait?

KAREN: No.

PETE: What.

KAREN: I’ve decided to gradually replace all my body parts with exact replicas made of Lego®.

PETE: That’s not really true is it?

KAREN: Pete, I’m sorry, it’s true.

PETE: But how are we going to afford it?

KAREN: It’s not actually that much Lego®, Pete. It probably won’t be too expensive. Anyway I’ve still got some of the reward money from when we found that lost cat.

PETE: That’s true. It’s a lot to take in, Karen, I’m not sure—

KAREN: Pete, this had been my dream since before I can remember.

PETE: But—

KAREN: And everything will still work, I think. I’ll do it gradually. I’ll probably start with the feet, or my belly button. Something easy.

PETE: [thoughtful sigh] I’ll think about it, Karen.

Pete smiles at Karen. They embrace. Karen smiles back, and wipes a small wet blue brick from her eye.
