City Girls, Country Life

SETTING: The Nahurriyeh family's new home in rural New York state.

SCENE: Amal and Leigh are watching last week's Project Runway. Amal, having submitted a great deal of paper work, is fucking around on Craigslist.

Amal: ...Leigh?
Leigh: Yes?
Amal: Do I need to buy chickens on Craigslist?
Leigh: No.
Amal: I've always wanted chickens. See, they'll be hatching in a few weeks and--
Leigh: NO.
Amal: OK. ... Do we need a peacock?
Leigh: NO.
Amal: It's only $30.
Leigh: What would we do with a peacock?
Amal: ...It could be Kabira's* friend.
Leigh: That would end in tears. And carpet cleaning.
Amal: Point taken. ... Do you want a horse for Christmas? *turns computer around to show Leigh the horse*
Leigh: We have a six by fifteen backyard. We do not need a horse.
Amal: Fine, fine. ... THERE'S A FIRE TRUCK FOR SALE IN [CITY TWO HOURS AWAY].
Leigh: Give me the computer.
