Thanks, Dad.

Scene I:

Kunin residence in San Diego, California. It is a warm winter day.

Lauren & her dad have just arrived home from doing errands. Lauren drove. They both get out of her car. Lauren walks around the back of the vehicle after locking it and meets her dad in the garage, where he is looking for something in his own car.
Lauren holds out her hand and waits for her dad to put money in it.

Lauren: So dad, where's my tip?

She doesn't actually expect to get anything.
Dad turns around and looks at her.

Dad: Your tip?

Lauren puts her hand on her hip.

Lauren: Yeah, you're supposed to tip your driver. Especially when they don't kill you in a car accident.

Dad is less than amused. He continues to look for something in his car.

Dad: You want a tip, eh?

Lauren: Yeah...

Dad pauses and thinks for a moment, then turns back to Lauren.

Dad: Learn how to say "condom" in Italian.
