So far this is my favorite beat that I've written for playwriting class. Mostly because everyone hated me for it. =]
[Mother is taking out the trash in the bathroom. She smells something gross in the trash and makes a disgusted noise. She looks in the trash and drops it, still staring at it.]
Mom: Bill! Come in here quick!
[Dad enters calmly]
Dad: What is it?
Mom: Look in the trash!
[Dad does so]
Dad: What the hell is that?
Mom: It looks like an unborn baby fetus.
Dad: Is it yours?
Mom: No!
Dad: Then it must be our daughter's.
Mom: But she wasn't pregnant.... Or was she?
Dad: She was puking an awful lot.
Mom: She missed her period.
Dad: She's been having sex.
Mom: Lots of sex.
Dad: We better go talk to her about this. [They exit]
