| 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.] |
