Respuesta Inefectiva — Video Vignette Script

A DAD IS CLEANING THE GARAGE BUT IS NOT IMMEDIATELY VISIBLE AS HIS DAUGHTER RIDES UP ON HER BIKE (COMING FROM SCHOOL OR FROM A FRIEND'S HOUSE). SHE NOISILY LEANS HER BIKE AGAINST THE WALL AND LOOKS GLUM

DAD:

Hola, Como te va?

BRITTANY (SAD):

Bien...

DAD:

No se nota que estas bien. Que pasa? Por que esa cara triste?

BRITTANY:

Nada. Estoy... un poco triste. Tengo un grupo de amigas que se van a una fiesta el sábado... y yo no fui invitada.

DAD:

Eso es todo?! Por eso estas triste? No te tienen que invitar a todo! Ya basta! Puedes usar el tiempo para algo mas como tus deberes o limpiar el garaje. Hay cosas más importantes en la vida que fiestas!

BRITTANY (NOW SAD AND FRUSTRATED/ANGRY):

Yo ya sabia que no ibas a entender!


SHE TURNS AND STORMS OUT.
