(INT. hallway)
(Dad whistles, putting away a crate. Daughter tugs on his leg.)
Daughter: Daddy, whatcha doin'?
Daddy: Oh, hi pumpkin. Daddy's just putting away his old stuff. You want to see it?
Daughter: OK!
(Daddy opens box. Daughter pulls out his old pride and joy, a CD of Nevermind. The daughter looks at it, and flips it around, confused.)
Daughter: Did you use this to kill bugs, Daddy?
(laughter)
Daddy: No! No! It plays music--there's a disc on the inside. (Opens it.) See! It's a CD!
(Daughter has blank look of incomprehension on her face)
Daughter: Daddy, what's a CD?
(dumbfounded)
Daddy: It's--it's a CD! A CD! They were like records, but smaller!
(silence)
(silence)
Daughter: Daddy, what's a record?
(Daddy gets up without a word and goes into the kitchen.)
Daughter: Mommy, Daddy's drinking in the afternoon again!
