INT. AIRPLANE GATE WAITING AREA
A HUSBAND & WIFE are seated in a waiting area, next to a MALE COUPLE with a baby. The Wife notices the baby and whispers to her husband.

HUSBAND

WIFE
(whispers)

HUSBAND

He indicates to the bathroom.
Let's talk about science (waffles)
As I've mentioned before, I'm not a scientist, but I do get paid to write about them. Here's an excerpt of my latest interview with a scientist working in Belgium, in town for a break. We met at Kerbey Lane Cafe.

ME: What do you like the best about living there?
RESEARCHER: I enjoy the work I'm doing and my colleagues--
ME: No, I mean about Belgium. Not your work, but the country. Let's talk about the food.
