Wife
(Shouting)
Get in here, there’s a tornado coming!
Husband
I know I just saw on the news, it’s definitely coming!
Wife
The baby- she’s sleeping! I’m going to grab her.
The wife runs up the stairs.
Husband
We need to find somewhere safe! Somewhere underground...
Wife
(now holding baby close)
We don’t have a basement! God, I knew we should’ve gotten a house with a basement!
Husband
Well, we need to find somewhere. And honey, we need to hurry.
Wife
(Panicking)
The phones aren’t working.
Husband
I can run over to the neighbor’s house and see if we can all fit in their basement with them. Stay here with the baby until I know it’s safe, okay?
Wife
No- no! Are you crazy? It’s too bad out there.
Husband
What else are we going to do?
Wife
Maybe we can hide in the bathroom. Or… or-
Husband
(Starts to put on shoes and a jacket)
Please, I need to hurry. I want us all safe. And being somewhere underground is in our best interest right now!
Wife
What if something happens? What if you can’t make it back?
Husband
I swear I won’t be gone for more than a minute.
