Betty and Karla
Betty: What do you want to do on your birthday.
Karla: (mumbling, looking at her cellphone) Whatever.
Betty: It’s coming up in two weeks. I know your dad wants to take you out for dinner.
Karla: (mumbling) Sure.
Betty: It’s important to him.
Karla: (mumbling) I know.
Betty: Would you please put that thing down and talk to me?
Karla: (snorts at something on the phone) Sure, just a sec.
Betty: Now!
Karla: Just wait.
Betty snatches the phone away.
Karla: What the fuck, Mom. I was reading something!
Betty: And I’m talking to you about your birthday!
Karla: Yeah whatever. I’ll go out for dinner. Now can you give me back my phone?
Betty: (hands the phone back) What about Saturday the 25th?
Karla: (mumbling, looking at her cellphone) Whatever.
