------------------------------------------------
INT. Kitchen - Late Afternoon
CARLYN, a 14 year old, slightly anorexic girl from Connecticut, America, comes home from the gym through the back door. She is wearing a baggy, pink tracksuit and is sweating. She is greeted by her MUM
MUM: Hi darling, how was the gym?
CARLYN walks across to the fridge and takes out a bottle of water.
CARLYN: It was ok, I burned 1500 calories.
CARLYN takes a swig of water, swirls it around her mouth, then spits it out.
MUM: At your age you shouldn't be worrying about calories, come to think of it, you've gotten
very skinny recently. A good meal will fatten you up.
CARLYN rolls her eyes and clucks her tongue at her mother
CARLYN: Mum, I've just been to the gym. I can't eat anything for at least three hours. (sighs)
MUM looks CARLYN up and down and frowns in disapproval. CARLYN grabs a rice cake and some blueberries from the pantry and runs upstairs.
MUM walks across to the phone, picks it up and dials a number
MUM: Hello, can I speak to the school nurse please.
