ELLA
We have got to get you back on your feet.

CHRIS
Bah. Feet are overrated. Who needs ‘em?

Chris grins up from the floor. Ella goes to the closet.

ELLA
Girl, did you just say “Bah” to me?

She finds only four shirts hanging there. She throws one of them at Chris, hitting her in the face.

CHRIS
(laughing) Only cause I know you can take it, what with your amazing *strength of character* and all.

ELLA
Well, someone has to set a good example for slouches like you. Get dressed.

CHRIS
(changing as they talk) Maybe I like being a slouch… hey! You’re not trying to rehabilitate me, are you?

ELLA
Rehabilitate is such a strong word. I like to think of it as “re-emersion training.”

CHRIS
Shock therapy?

ELLA
Only as a last resort.
