INT. – OBLEX’S STUDY – MORNING
(Scene opens with a pan across Professor Oblex’s living room. Duke is sleeping on a couch and Wilt is sleeping on the floor next to the couch. Cut to a one shot of Duke. Light shines through the window and onto Dukes face. Duke rolls over to get the light out of his eyes and avoid waking up. Cut to a full shot of the living room as Oblex walks in through the front door carrying a sack of groceries and slams it shut loudly behind him. Duke sits up quickly, startled by the sudden noise.)
OBLEX
Kaliméra!
DUKE
What time is it!?!
OBLEX
It’s pancake time!
(Oblex walks off-screen into the kitchen to start making pancakes. Lana walks in from another room with a cup of coffee. Her hair is disheveled and she has a dazed, half-asleep expression.)
DUKE
(Rubbing his eyes.) What is his Problem?
LANA
He’s a “Morning Person”.
DUKE
Could I get some of that coffee?
LANA
Oh I don’t know. I don’t really feel like putting in all the effort to make a new cup of coffee when you’d probably just break up with it a week before prom.
DUKE
You’ll have to excuse me, it’s early. Are we still talking about coffee?
(Lana scoffs at him and storms off angrily. Cut to a full shot of the kitchen as Lana walks inside. Oblex is standing by the stove pouring pancake batter into a pan. There is a plate on the counter next to him were he puts the finished pancakes.)
OBLEX
Good morning Lana.
(Cut to a medium shot of Oblex and Lana as Lana approaches him to talk quietly so Duke doesn’t hear.)
LANA
Ok, you know how much I respect your opinion…
OBLEX
