Int. Kitchen

Man and woman are sat at the kitchen table. They're eating dinner. The man seems distracted.

Woman: What's the matter, dear.

Man: I'm just sick to death of this curse that gypsy put on me.

Woman: Well you shouldn't have run her cat over.

Man: It was an accident.

Woman: An accident? You had a herring strapped to the front of your car!

Man: It should have stayed out of my Begonias.

Woman: It used to, but then you put that haddock in there!

Man: You know I've never been a cat person.

Woman: Didn't stop you eating it.

Man: But still, a curse? I'm now the unluckiest man in the world.

Woman: That reminds me, my mother called earlier.

Man: She's not coming to stay this weekend is she?

Woman: No.

Man: Phew.

Woman: She's coming to stay indefinitely.

Man: Jesus!

Woman: You never have liked my mother have you?

Man: No! Even less since she put that curse on me.
