INT. MANHATTAN HIGHRISE - DAY
TINA SITS ON THE EDGE OF THE COUCH PLAYING SOLITAIRE JENGA. A SHAKY TOWER OF PIECES WOBBLES ON THE COFFEE TABLE.
AMIR BURSTS THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR. HE IS ALL SMILES.
TINA
Don't move! (SHUSHING HIM WITH HER
HAND) I've been working on this all
day...
AMIR GINGERLY APPROACHES HER.
AMIR
(WHISPERING) I have some news to tell --
TINA GLARES UP AT HIM WITH AND POINTS A SCOLDING FINGER.
AMIR
(MOVES A BIT CLOSER) -- It's really --
TINA
(BURSTING) What!? What is SO important!?
THE JENGA TOWER COLLAPSES. TINA SINKS INTO THE COUCH.
AMIR
It can wait.
FADE OUT
