Socks
grown-ups
The wife is convinced he should take black socks, not white. They start fighting over the socks and their old resentments and conflicts emerge. During the fight, a loud explosion is heard, the husband and wife try to open the door and finally run for safety, but they realise they are trapped under the rubble.
WIFE
Cigarettes, medicines, gold, foreign currency, passport, tins, cardigan, T-shirts, underwear, pants, pyjamas, shoes, socks. Yeah, this is all. Wait. Cigarettes, medicines, gold, foreign currency, passport -
The husband returns. He has one pair of white socks in his hands.
HUSBAND
Here. Let's beat it now.
WIFE
Wait, not the white ones, come on. You better take a pair of black.
