[Sharon has made breakfast, her rendition of scrambled eggs, however, does not sit well with Virgil, as her attempt is nothing but an under-cooked, runny slop.]
(sitting at the table) What's this, an egg smoothie?
Sharon(not amused) You know that's just the way Momma made them.
(studying his 'breakfast' with his fork) Funny, I don't remember needing a straw to eat her's.
(closes his briefcase and stands up, ready to go to work) Come on Virgil, your sister went to all this trouble. Least you can do is give 'em a try. (pats Virgil on the head and leaves)
[Sharon huffs and turns away. Virgil, desperate not to be food poisoned, looks 'up' for divine intervention.]
(voice a tone lower) Momma, if you're listening, I could use some help here...
[The phone rings unexpectedly.]
Sharon(answering the phone) Hello... (listens to the person on the other end of the line,) Hey, Teddy... (pause) Yeah, I really liked that lecture last night... (pause) Tonight? You mean a real date?... (pause, meanwhile, Virgil stands next to her making kissie-noises while she's on the phone) Let me check my schedule... (pause while Sharon leaves the kitchen to gain privacy from Virgil) Of course I have a schedule... (pause, before she answers Teddy flirtatiously) No, I don't have a little black book. It's paisley...
[With Sharon out of the way, Virgil, with a smile on his face, is free to dispose of the 'egg smoothie,' pouring it into the bin, without Sharon as an eyewitness.]
Good lookin' out, Moms.
[Virgil exits the kitchen, rubbing his stomach in mock-satisfaction as he passes Sharon, still on the phone.]
Mmm, mmm, mmm. Fluffy egg goodness...
[Sharon, knowing that Virgil is poking fun at her cooking, pouts in frustration.]
