Scene 2

Eugene’s late again

Oh, I guess he is. Sorry, he usually isn’t like this.

Are you sure? I feel like he’s been late this whole week.

Well, maybe this week.

He’s always been like this. Even when we were kids. You’re overstuffing it.

Well I keep trying and it’s not — I feel like I’m barely adding anything.

Watch how I do it.

Really? You put that little in? That’s barely a bite.

It’s only meant to be a bite. Trust me, Eugene and I would have this all the time growing up.

Yeah, I know. So anyway, I’m sure this’ll be great for Ellie’s party. Kimbap is one of the only things she’ll eat these days.

She's better than the other Cub Scouts in Ryan’s troop. They never touch any Korean food I bring to the meetings. Ryan eats anything though, even spicy kimchi.

Ellie still won’t touch that.

That must be hard. Ryan was never picky at that age.

Yumi, they’re both five.

I know, I’m just teasing. Ellie will like it soon, I’m sure. Oh, did Eugene sign her up for Korean school yet?

No, not yet.

He’d better do it soon. She needs to learn while she’s young. I can tell when I try and speak to her, she doesn’t understand. You’re making the cuts too big.

I know, okay? (cut) Fuck! You do it, then.

Okay, you don’t need to get upset.

Sorry, I just — I’ve been wound up lately.
