FADE IN:
INT. DEN. HOME IN GARDEN OF EDEN - NIGHT
ADAM is reading the newspaper on the sofa while EVE types furiously away at the computer on the desk nearby.
ADAM
Are you still blogging?
EVE
I just have a few more comments to reply.
ADAM
I'm tired, Eve.
EVE
Why don't you go on ahead, my love.
I'll be there in a few minutes.
Adam neatly folds the newspaper and sets it on the end table. Rising,
ADAM
How about some warm milk?
EVE
That would be lovely.
Eve watches Adam disappear into the kitchen, then returns to the computer.
INSERT EXCHANGES BETWEEN EVE AND ABRA ON THE COMPUTER.
EVE
Abra, our relationship is in the Dead Sea!
It's been the same routine for hundreds of years.
ABRA
But, Eve, you're the most revered couple in history.
People worship you.
EVE
(flustered)
I don't want to be revered or worshipped. I just want
Adam to look at me the way he did the day God created us.
Is that too much to ask?
ABRA
All right, let me think.
Have you tried pasties?
EVE
Abra, I invented pasties. Fig leaves. Remember?
ABRA
True. I've got it. A love potion!
EVE
You've got to do better than that...
Eve stops, frozen, as Adam sets the glass of warm milk beside the computer. She manages to press the Escape key without him noticing, then turns to him.
EVE
Thank you, dear.
ADAM
So, all done?
EVE
Wha...? Oh, yes. Yes.
She picks up the glass of milk and sips. A message pops up on the computer screen.
ADAM
Are you feeling all right, Eve?
EVE
Yes, of course.
(laughs nervously)
Why wouldn't I?
ADAM
Because Abra just sent you a message to take Jasmine,
Neroli, Lavender, Myrtle, and Ylang Ylang. Then Tangerine,
Bergamot, and Blood Orange with Zdravetz, Sandalwood,
Nutmeg and Ginger wrapped in Vanilla, Cinnamon and
Cardamon.
Disbelievingly, Eve watches Adam's expression transform. He grins boyishly.
ADAM
Eve, my darling, my love...
Eve turns the computer off then turns to Adam, beaming. She leads him by the hand up the stairs. Under her breath,
EVE
(sighs)
God bless its pentium chip heart.
FADE TO BLACK

Okay so this time around I selected others:
Adam - Kurt Russell
Eve - Goldie Hawn
Abra - Meryl Streep!
Correct me if I'm not right, but the late Janice Joplin, may her soul rest in peace, might comment: A Piece of My Heart - Cheap Trills that never fail to work!?:)
I voted again. I like this story! Take care my friend, Tammy
I love it anytime Sandy Boy am I using my cards almost every day such a all consuming forever gift sandy
One of my favorites! I'm glad you re-run it!
No apology necessary! I STILL love it!
this had that just right feel... ;)
purely believable!
Pentium Chip? Wouldn't it be a bit more ironic if Eve was a Mac user?
;)
Just my thought.
Catch up when you can! I'll be around. Bad times lately, but I have my little blogging world to retreat to.
Thank gawd!
And my choices were...
Woody Allen
Sophia Lauren
and Bette Middler
That would be a comedy classic, rerun or not!
