INT. Van, clearly at the beginning of a long road trip. Has obviously been packed with great love and care by SANDI (mother, early thirties, slightly confused). NORAH (girl, almost four, round cheeks, big brown eyes, solemn expression) has opened up her travel backpack and spread out everything on her lap. The soundtrack to The Muppets is playing in the background. GPS Arrival Time readout: 4:32 PM
NORAH: Barf.
SANDI: Oh honey. We'll get you all cleaned up.
SETH (father, later-than-SANDI-thirties, great big bushy beard) jumps out and starts to clean NORAH up.
SETH: Barf.
