"you know what you should do..."

this scene takes place inside a honda civic hatchback at the rc gas station on market and castro. the time is around 8:15 pm.

marin: "i feel like taking a silly picture of us."

she holds the camera out, takes several unflattering pictures, giggles after examining each one.

marin: "that one is alot of head."

(takes another, looks at it.)

marin: "what is that weird shadow?"

(takes another, looks at it.)

marin: "wow we look really red."

john: (amused) "i don't know what you're expecting here."

marin: "let's make a face dad makes."

(takes another)

john: "this is going to say alot about what i think of dad."

they both examine photo and errupt in laughter.

marin: "that's the one! that's the one! this is it!" (she gasps for air)

john: " i love you. it's wonderful that it's really this easy to make you this happy."

they continue to laugh hysterically until tears run down her face

marin: "so much is funny.... so much is funny," (she says through laughter), "my pea size brain, (gasps) your feelings about dad (gulps), the amazingly expressive eyebrows that he gave us both (yelps)... and also dad reads my blog."

a photo of my actual father making one of his faces with us would have been the most awesome scenario.
