Scene: A therapist’s office

We are in the office of a couple’s therapist.

Camera opens on a white couple seated on a loveseat seated opposite

Therapist: So, tell me about your relationship

C: (exasperated) Well, we’re .. PB: (interrupts) Perfectly - C: (deflated) Peanut butter and chocolate PB: Nut’ but’ and choco’! C: (turns to face Peanut Butter) (mumbling while shaking her head) Don’t do that.. C: (jeering) He says, “when something’s good, why change it?” PB: Exactly C: (mockingly) Exactly Therapist: (smiling and laughing) What if you were to try something different? PB: (shaking head) No C: Yes

Butterfinger enters from behind Therapist, beaming

C: (exclaiming gleefully) “Ah!” C: (begins laughing happily) Therapist: (enthusiastically) Yes, it’s Mr. Butterfinger!

Butterfinger shakes his hips and settles himself upon the couch between Peanut Butter and Chocolate

Chocolate is standing, facing away from Butterfinger, and falls into him still laughing

Butterfinger wraps his arms around Chocolate’s mid-section and sits her down upon his lap

PB: (smiling, though surprised) I’m sorry, what are we doing here?

Chocolate, who is now shrieking with delight, taps Peanut Butter’s face with the toe of her boot, gently at first, and then more firmly

Peanut Butter, still smiling, turns to face Butterfinger and Chocolate

Cut to Peanut Butter, smiling, giving back-massage to Butterfinger; teeth bared and glaring at Peanut Butter through the corner of his eye, giving a back-massage to a contented and smiling Chocolate.

Butterfinger: (growls incoherent, gutteral phrase while turning head back to face Peanut Butter)

Butterfinger’s scowl turns quickly to a smile, as Chocolate turns back to see what has happened, bright-eyed and happy

PB: (takes hands off from Butterfinger’s back and turns around, still smiling) Let’s go the other way.

Butterfinger: (turns to face Peanut Butter, continuing to massage Chocolate) Oh, I’m good.
