A small apartment kitchen, evening. TEO stands at the open fridge. SAM sits on the counter scrolling a phone. The fridge contains one lime and a jar of mustard.

A slash marks where the next line starts over the current one. Keep it fast.

TEO

It's your night.

SAM

It's absolutely not my night.

TEO

Tuesday. Tuesday is you.

SAM

Tuesday WAS me. We swapped. You had the thing. / The dentist thing.

TEO

The dentist was a Thursday. You can't / retroactively...

SAM

I can. I did. Watch me.

TEO

(holding up the lime)

Then what are we eating, Sam? Is it this? Is it the lime?

SAM

(slides off the counter)

Okay. Okay. Truce. Nobody cooks.

TEO

Great, so we starve, / that's a plan.

SAM

Nobody cooks BECAUSE...

SAM opens the front door. A Platefull box sits on the mat. SAM carries it in like a trophy.

SAM

...Platefull does the hard part.

Quick cuts: the box opens. Pre-chopped vegetables. A marinated protein. A card with three steps.

TEO

(reading the card)

Fifteen minutes. Three steps.

SAM

Step one is "open box."

TEO

I can do step one.

SAM

I believe in you.

Cut to both at the stove, actually cooking. Steam. Something sizzling.

TEO

(stirring, grudging)

This is kind of nice.

SAM

Don't make it weird.

TEO

Tomorrow's still you.

SAM

Tomorrow's Platefull.

TEO

(beat)

Yeah, okay.

SAM

(to camera, mouth full)

Platefull. Dinner, settled.

Title card: PLATEFULL. Dinner, settled.
