INT. dining room, morning

Jason enters the room muttering to himself in reaction to a report on NPR that Congress voted to protect horses against being slaughtered for food.

Jason

I don't know what their deal is. I've had horse sausage. It was yummy. I'd eat it again.

Chandra

When have you ever had horse sausage?

JASON

Suomessa.

CHANDRA

Finland?

JASON

Yup.

CHANDRA

(after a beat)

So what is their deal with horses, anyway?

JASON

Well, they need every horse's ass they can get if they're going to keep their seats.
