INT. KITCHEN
Sally takes the bun off her burger. She walks to the fridge
and grabs the ketchup bottle.
She attempts to squeeze the ketchup on her burger but
nothing comes out.
INT. HALL WAY
Sally knocks on Jims door. He answers.
SALLY
Hey, Im going to the store to get
some ketchup, wanna come with?
JIM
Yeah, sure, one sec. Just need to
finish charging my phone.
Jim has his phone in his hand. There is a wire coming out of
it that connects to the wall.
JIM
Wait for it, 99%, almost there
(pause)
Jim holds his breath.
JIM
100
Jim rushes to his sneakers and puts on his coat. Sally is
standing at the door.
SALLY
Ill wait for you outside.
Sally is waiting patiently outside. Jim comes walking
through the door pulling a huge generator.
SALLY
(confused) Ah, whats that?
JIM
A generator, helloooo.
SALLY

(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 2.
JIM

SALLY

with like 12 hours of battery life.
JIM

SALLY

three minutes away.
JIM

Long shot of Sally and Jim walking down a path. Jim is
struggling to pull the generator.
INT. HALL WAY
Sally and Jim arrive back at their flats an hour later.
SALLY
Thats the last time I go with you
to the store.
JIM
Well thats the last time I buy
ketchup with you.
Sally shakes her head and goes into her room where she
places a bag of ketchup on the desk.
INT. SALLYS ROOM
Jim walks in with a glove in his hand.
JIM

Jim sees over a hundred bottles of ketchup staked against
the wall and is stunned. He looks at Sally.
SALLY
Its back up.
