Raw Tripe is a Hit... and Gross

Setting: Originally Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii.
Characters:
Kim: The only actual person.
Nina: 15 year old jack russell. Think she is a person. Kim's owner
Carrie Bradshaw: Optional.


Nina scampers into the living room. Yes, scampers.

Kim: You're awfully chipper this morning. (weary) What's the trick?

Nina: No trick. Tripe!

Carrie Bradshaw: (has been sleeping/dreaming up to this point wakes immediately) Where?!

Kim: That gross green raw stuff I fed you the other day? That disgusting stuff I drove 54.4 miles each way to get it in Kapa'au? The stuff that is sitting in the freezer?

Nina: I'm telling you that "stuff" worked wonders! I feel like a new dog!

Carrie Bradshaw: (hopping off couch) Me too! More tripe please!

Nina: (to Carrie) It was pretty good, wasn't it?

Carrie Bradshaw: (whispers to Nina in awe) It was delicious!

Kim: I cannot believe you two liked that stuff! Carrie I get- she'll eat anything. You Nina. I gave you more credit. I thought you were more civilized than that.

Nina: (cold stare) It's what my ancestors ate. Do not try and take away my heritage.

Carrie Bradshaw: (trying to appear indignant but just comes across as fluffy ) Mine too!

Kim: Ew. (sigh) I knew the day would come when you two would finally agree on something. Speaking of a new dog-

Nina: (panicked) What? What's this about  a new dog??

Kim: You said you felt like a new dog.

Nina: Oh. Yes. Carry on.

Kim: You've been running around like a puppy since your last three meals of that... that...tripe stuff. I can't keep up with you!

Carrie Bradshaw: (skipping off to kitchen) More tripe please!

Nina: (to Kim as she follows her and Carrie into the kitchen) See? Dr. Grant was right. Always follow your instincts. You thought it might be good for me to try the raw green tripe. And here we are.

Kim: (separating more frozen tripe) Ew.

Nina: (aloof) You follow your instincts, I'll follow mine.

     Fade out as Kim watches in horror as they devour the tripe...
