Nora the Carnivore

[SCENE: Int., Whole Foods, Meat Counter.]

NORA: Mom, I think every day should be a meat holiday.

[The CUSTOMER in line in front of VICTORIA and NORA snorts.]

VICTORIA: And what, exactly is a meat holiday?

NORA: Well! It is a holiday where you eat nothing but meat all day long!

CUSTOMER: I can get behind that!

[SCENE: Maison de Stijl.]

VICTORIA [to PHIL]: Nora told me that she thinks every day should be a meat holiday. What's a meat holiday, Nora?

NORA: Well! It's a holiday, and it's a day where you eat a lot of meat! But ACTUALLY, I think every day should be a BACON holiday.

PHIL: You are definitely my daughter.

VICTORIA: I tried to get Mommy to buy you and me chocolate-covered bacon at Whole Foods, you know.
