[Living room...]
Grinch: (Sitting on the couch, listening to TV and trying to tie thread into chain of knots)
Rena: (Sitting next to Grinch, watching TV) Hmm... (Looked at the knots Grinch tied)
Grinch: Ah, crap... (Stopped)
Rena: What are you doing?
Grinch: (Sighed heavily) A chain of knots...(Gets annoyed) At least I was...
Rena: (Trying to take a closer look at the knots) They're so small. You were very precise.
Grinch: So much for precision... Oh, well... (Tied knots into one, bigger, knot)
Rena: (Surprised, watching closely) Oh.
Grinch: (Rolled thread around the knot)
Rena: Oh~ (Watching closely even more)
Grinch: (Noticed how closely Rena watching) Heh. Wanna try?
Rena: (Looked at Grinch and Nodded)
[Kitchen...]
Grinch: (Entered the kitchen) Let's see.
Rena: (Followed Grinch into the kitchen)
Grinch: (Opened slim cabinet next to window, took out a green box, shook and opened it) No.
(Took out red box and opened it) Not this one.
(Took out dark green box and opened it) Bingo.
(Put other boxes in cabinet and closed it)
Rena: (Smiled happily)
Grinch: (Sat at the table and opened on the box) Let's see what we have here.
Rena: (Sat at a table and looked inside the box) Wow, so many colors.
Grinch: (Looked at how happy Rena is smiling) Yup. (Moved box closer to Rena) Here.
Rena: (Looked at Grinch with a surprised face) Huh?
Grinch: You can take whichever you want.
Rena: Really?
Grinch: (Rested his head on his arm) Mhmm. Go for it. It's not like we really need them.
Rena: (Looked at the box) But...
Grinch: Pfft... C'mon, it's not some Persian silk. If you're worried about using them, don't be. This box has been there since I was a kid.
Rena: (Turned to Grinch, very confused) Really...?
Grinch: Yup, it's this old.
Rena: (Looked at the box, then at Grinch) But...what if we need them...?
Grinch: (Looked at the box, and then at Rena) Your silk is way better than this old stuff. So... Will be counting on you, if our clothes tears. (Smiled and moved box closer to Rena)
Rena: (Took out a spool of light blue threads)
Grinch: Good choice. That's a neat color.
Rena: Umm... Grinch. (Turned to Grinch)
Grinch: Mmhm...yeah...?
Rena: (Nervously making circles with fingers) If I...run out of threads...could you buy more...? If that's ok...?
Grinch: (Blinking with a puzzled expression)
Rena: (Confused and a bit embarrassed) Um...?
Grinch: Tutto qui...? - "That's it...?"
Rena: Yeah...?
Grinch: (Patted Rena on the head) Sure.
Rena: (Pouts) Intellectually, I'm as old as you.
Grinch: Я знаю. - "I know."
