Scene: Middle aged woman with distant look pushing cart out of a supermarket meets an older woman who greets her.
(older woman) Well hi, Denise. Fancy meeting you here!
(Denise) Oh...hi Mom; just picking up a few groceries on the way home.
(older woman) Is everything alright? You seem a little pre-occupied. How is Jason doing?
(Denise) He's fine Mom, but we just learned his unit has been extended another 3 months in Iraq. Lisa is really disappointed, with the baby's birthday next month, and all. It's been hard on her....it's been hard on all of us. But you know Jason; he loves his country so much and he's just taking it in stride. Mom, I'm almost embarrassed to say this, and it's probably just a mother's paranoia, but I'm starting to fear that the president's Stay The Course policy is becoming more like Stay And Die.
