Platefull Roommate Standoff
Platefull is a meal kit with pre-chopped ingredients and three-step cards. Two roommates argue over whose night it is to cook until the box on the doorstep settles it. Fast overlapping banter, then a small truce at the stove.
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.
