Characters:
MARCUS: Sitting at a dinner table.
SARAH: Sitting across from him.
Setting: A perfectly normal dining room.
MARCUS: Pass the salt?
MARCUS: (Sighs) Sarah? You’re doing it again.
SARAH: (Voice looping) Salt... salt... sa-sa-salt...
MARCUS: (Reaches over and taps her forehead twice)
SARAH: (Snaps back to normal instantly) Sorry. I think I need a software update. My motor functions are lagging.
MARCUS: We talked about this. You can’t keep skipping updates. Last week you walked through the refrigerator.
SARAH: It’s a large file, Marcus! It takes six hours and I have to be unconscious! What if there’s a fire?
MARCUS: What if you glitch while you’re holding a steak knife? Just... plug yourself in tonight. Please.
SARAH: Fine. But if I wake up and I’m speaking Mandarin again, it’s your fault.
