In the Stewarts' kitchen a little later. Richard is drinking a soda. Marilyn is writing a grocery list. |
Marilyn: |
[counting] Grandpa, Ellen, Philip, Robbie, you and me. That's six steaks. |
Richard: |
Don't forget Susan. |
Marilyn: |
Seven steaks. Cooking dinner for the entire family is not so easy. [She points to her list.] The shopping: the salad: tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers, and onions. The main course: steak and potatoes. Richard, how much broccoli do I need for seven people? |
Richard: |
Marilyn, I have to tell you something. At today's exercise class ... |
Marilyn: |
Yes, Richard. |
Richard: |
Well, I didn't really exercise. |
Marilyn: |
I knew it! |
Richard: |
I wanted to, but Jack Davis needed a photographer. [He laughs.] I'm sorry, Marilyn. |
Marilyn: |
I don't understand. Did you exercise or not? |
Richard: |
No. Instead of exercising, I photographed the class. |
Marilyn: |
And you didn't exercise? |
Richard: |
No. |
Marilyn: |
There's another advanced class today at four o'clock. We'll go together. |
Richard: |
What about the bet? |
Marilyn: |
Oh, the bet is still on, but you shop for the groceries. Remember, you win, and I cook dinner for the entire family. |
Richard: |
You win, and I cook dinner for the entire family. |
Marilyn: |
Including Susan. Four o'clock at the advanced exercise class. With me. [They shake hands and laugh.] |
Later, at the aerobics class. Marilyn and Richard are exercising to music. They are following the instructor's and Jack's directions. |
Jack: |
Don't forget to breathe. |
Instructor: |
Skip, hop, front. Twist ... again ... OK, now ... scissors. |
Richard: |
This is fun. It's a piece of cake. |
Marilyn: |
Yeah. Just wait. |
Instructor: |
5, 6, 7, go right, 1, 2, back, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, pony, pony ... 1, 2, 3, kick ... 1, 2, 3, kick ... pony. And twist, twist. |
Jack: |
OK. Let's pick up the pace. [Richard is getting tired.] |
Marilyn: |
How are you doing, Richard? |
Richard: |
I can barely move. |
Instructor: |
2, 3, 4, front. Now we're going to run it off. Front ... knees up, knees up. |
Jack: |
OK. Finish off by jogging in place. OK. Keep those knees up. All right. That's it for today. Thank you, everyone. See you next week. |
Richard: |
[to Marilyn] Thank you, Jack, but no thank you. |
Marilyn: |
The advanced exercise class is not so easy, huh? [Richard slowly falls to the floor.] |
Richard: |
No, no. You were right. I was wrong. |
Marilyn: |
Come on, Richard. Get up. Let's go. You have to cook dinner for the entire family. |
Richard: |
Marilyn, I'm exhausted. I can't move. |
Marilyn: |
Oh, you'll do it. It's a piece of cake. [She snaps her fingers.] |
Jack: |
Excuse me, Richard, Marilyn. |
Richard: |
You are a terrific instructor, Jack. |
Jack: |
Thanks. But I have a question. Is this your very first advanced aerobics class? |
Richard: |
[He laughs.] Yes, it is. |
Jack: |
You are in great shape, Richard. Very few people last in this class for the full hour the very first time. |
Marilyn: |
It's true. You are in great shape. |
Richard: |
Thanks! |
Marilyn: |
I think we'll cook dinner together. [They smile and kiss.] |
