Pretext: There is obvious tension in Lisa’s eyes as if she is scanning an arch rival when listening to Tommy and Sheila speak, while Tommy is under the impression that Sheila and Lisa’s relationship may be more than what it seems. At the close of scene the audience is left questioning what Sheila may have told Lisa about Tommy.
Scene: Spying on Sheila and new friend Lisa at the local grocery store, Tommy knocks over Metamucil.
Sheila: Tommy? Oh Tommy? Hi!
Tommy: Hey how you doing? (drops Metamucil)
Sheila: Oh… (picks up Metamucil)
Tommy: Ah its for my mom, these aren’t.
Sheila: Ha Ha
Hi
Sheila: Oh sorry. This is… my friend Lisa
Lisa: Hi
Tommy: Hi
Sheila: (touches lisa on shoulder) This is Jimmy’s Cousin.
Lisa: Oh the fire fighter I’ve heard so much about you.
Tommy: yeah, there’s two sides to every story. So you guys, what are you doing?
Sheila: Shopping.
Tommy: yeah me too. Um, could we, we uh… should get together, have dinner or something.
Sheila: Oh yeah, we should
Tommy: Yeah I mean we could do it with all three of us. Y’know?
Sheila: No. Why would you wanna…
Tommy: No no I’m just sayin, I thought that uh, whatever, two of us three of us whatever…
Lisa: That might be better you guys can catch up.
Tommy: The two of us? Yeah that’s probably, that’s probably, better.
Sheila: Oh my god. Uhhh call me. (the pair turns to walk away.)
Tommy: I’ll call you. I got it. Alright. Nice to meet you.
Lisa: You too. (Lisa lears at Tommy as Sheila starts to walk away.)
Comedic relief as Tommy tries to put back the faux purchases and wrecks the Metamucil display once again.
