Eat Some Produce Soup

FADE IN:

INT. 2010 – LIBBY’S APARTMENT, KITCHEN – EVENING

LIBBY stands in front of her open refrigerator. Beside her is APARTMENT MANAGER BECKY. They peer into the fridge. Steam wafts out.

POV LIBBY’S REFRIGERATOR – CONTINUOUS

LIBBY

(stuffily)

It’s surreal.

APARTMENT MANAGER BECKY

You have a lot of produce.

LIBBY

I’m a vegan.

Libby coughs, miserably. Apartment Manager Becky looks at her.

APARTMENT MANAGER BECKY

You’re sick?

Libby looks at Apartment Manager Becky. She coughs, miserably. Apartment Manager Becky looks back at the fridge.

APARTMENT MANAGER BECKY

I’ll put in a maintenance request

LIBBY

Thanks.

APARTMENT MANAGER BECKY

You should take some cough medicine.

LIBBY

Thanks.

APARTMENT MANAGER BECKY

And eat some produce.

Libby coughs, miserably. Apartment Manager Becky closes the door and exits.

INT. LIBBY’S APARTMENT, KITCHEN – LATER

Libby takes a swig of cough medicine. She coughs, miserably. Her eyes are glazed. She stares at the fridge.

Suddenly the refrigerator door explodes open in a burst of steam! Dance music plays! The semi-wilted produce comes to life! It dances together until it resembles Apartment Manager Becky’s face. Libby watches in amazement as the produce face says–

PRODUCE APARTMENT MANAGER BECKY

Eat some produce!

The face bursts apart into a produce party! Lights flash! Bass thumps! The veggies dance out of the fridge.

SERIES OF SHOTS

• BOK CHOY tosses a pot onto the stove.
• SCALLIONS balance a knife onto the edge like a diving board.
• MUSHROOMS line up to dive and slice themselves into the pot.
• GARLIC does a strip tease.
• ONION slivers into fans and twirls into the boiling pot.
• GINGER ROOT bumps and grinds against a microplane. The gratings float into the pot like confetti.
• BASIL chiffonades.
• TOFU CUBES do gymnastic flips.
• PEA SHOOTS whirl into the bubbles.
• SPINACH spirals and flutters into the broth.

END SERIES OF SHOTS

The music ends. Flashing lights fade. All that remains is the bubbling pot on the stove.

Libby hesitantly approaches the pot. She peers over the edge. It smells Delicious!

INT. LIBBY’S DINING ROOM – LATER

Libby sits, steaming bowl of soup in her hands.

Suddenly SAMURAI LIME hops onto the edge of the bowl. It splits itself and screams–
