Diana and Daniel are at home preparing dinner. Daniel turns off the television.

DIANA
Millions of people are dead.

DANIEL
Millions.

DIANA
That’s like…what percent of the population?

DANIEL
A lot.

DIANA
But in perspective…I don’t know. A lot, right?

DANIEL
Right.

DIANA
Have you called Christy?

DANIEL
They’re coming here.

DIANA
Great. I hate going to their place. It’s always so drab.

DANIEL
You’re a better entertainer.

DIANA
You think?

DANIEL
I know.

DIANA
Thanks. When are they supposed to…?

DANIEL
Not ‘til 10. Want to…?

DIANA
We’ve got time.
