Song for a future generation: a screenplay

FADE IN:

INT. KITCHEN AT MY PARENTS´ – EARLY MORNING
DAD storms in through the half-opened door. He holds a couple of CD cases in his hand.

DAD
You know Stravisnky?

He handles me down one of the CDs.

ME
Yeah, sure. Russian guy. Did the thing with the dinosaurs.

DAD
No. I don´t thing there were any dinosaurs involved.

ME
(picking up the CD)
Right on. “Rite of Spring” and all that. Dinosaur song.

DAD
(looks rather skeptical)
It´s that damn Walt Disney thing all over again, isn´t it?

ME
(staging a mock-dinosaur fight with my hands)
… And the T-Rex is fighting off this huge stegosaur…
