Making something.
LOOKING FOR A BLANK PIECE OF PAPER FOR CARD BY TURNING OVER PIECES OF PAPER ON THE TABLE UNTIL THEY FIND ONE. LOTS OF THEM ARE UNPAID BILLS AND HOMEWORK. (POSSIBLY SOME BADLY GRADED TESTS WITH TEACHER NOTES)

It’s, um, a birthday card for someone in school.
[POSSIBLE SCENE DIALOGUE]
