INT. SILVERWARE DRAWER - NIGHT
A SPOON creeps toward an empty slot in a cutlery caddy.A lamp flickers on.
The Spoon GASPS.The FORK scowls at the Spoon, his tines shaking in anger. FORK
Where have you been?
SPOONUm ... I was taking a midnight dip ... in the sink.
FORKAlone?
SPOONI suppose you're going to accuse me of sneaking off with one of the knives from the butcher block again. And that you imagined that you heard us clinking together in the dark.
The Fork hands the Spoon a manila file folder.FORK
I hired the spatula to follow you. He took these pictures.
The Spoon slowly opens the folder. She finds photographs of herself frolicking with a dish on the dish rack.FORKIs it true? Are you diddlin' the Dish?
SPOONForky ...
FORK
(turning away)
Oh god ...
SPOONI didn't plan it. I was just lying in the spoon rest, and the next thing I knew, I found myself plunged into his hot, sticky --
FORKYou can tell me he dipped you. You can tell me he's stirred you, but please, please, tell me he didn't ...
SPOONSpoon me?
The Forks looks directly at her, but now the Spoon turns away.FORK
We were happy once. Remember the night when you first ran your fingers through my tines ... What happened?
SPOONI could say it's not you. I could say it's me, but it'd be a lie.
FORKIt's my agoraphobia, isn't it?
SPOONI can't spend the rest of my life shut away in this drawer, Forky. I want to see the world before I'm too tarnished to go anywhere.
FORKI'll change. I'll ... I'll ...
The Spoon smiles sadly, her oval head drooping.SPOON
I'd better go.
The Spoon pushes the drawer open and hops out.The Fork crawls after her.
FORK
Spoonie! Spoonie, come back!
The Fork tries to follow her, but freezes at the edge of the drawer. He folds over as if touched by the invisible hands of Uri Geller, collapsing into a sobbing heap of metal and tines.
Aw. So sad.
