Excerpt from CRUSHED TOMATOES

Cassandra speaking to her future sister-in-law, Louisa, whom she just met.

CASSANDRA:
You’re planning on having children?

LOUISA:
Isn’t that what most people do when they get married?

CASSANDRA:
Seems strange to me is all. Marrying a perfect stranger.
Someone you don’t even know know...ever had a vision?

LOUISA:

CASSANDRA:
Never woke up in the middle of the night and saw the head of Jesus filling your room with light? Or felt the air move by the tremendous flap of wings? Or had Mary give you a special mission?

(pause)

Some mother you’re gonna make.
